Week 8 of the 2024 NFL schedule comes loaded with a full complement of games – literally, as no teams will be on a bye for the first time in four weeks.
One quarter of the matchups involve squads with winning records: Bears-Commanders, Bills-Seahawks, Colts-Texans and Falcons-Buccaneers – sole possession of first place in the NFC South at stake in Tampa.
Yet the showcase will occur with a pair of flagship franchises – years of history between them – still trying to claw above .500 as the Dallas Cowboys pay a visit to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. Even if a win doesn’t yet move either club into what’s coalescing as a tough NFC playoff field to crack, you can bet much of America will be tuned in.
