On Saturday, the Dallas Cowboys will be at home and attempting to halt their losing skid at 2 against the NFC North champion Detroit Lions. Sunday’s prime-time game will have the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs reprising their rivalry at Arrowhead. On Monday Night Football, the Minnesota Vikings will host the Green Bay Packers as both teams fight for their playoff lives in a quest for a Wild Card.
