Aaron Rodgers leads Steelers into Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland against the Vikings

Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland is where boxing legend Katie Taylor dreams of hosting a fight.

Until that wish could come to fruition, Aaron Rodgers will lead the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) against Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings (2-1) at the iconic venue Sunday.

The Vikings, in particular, are coming off an offensive explosion last week in their 48-10 thrashing of the Cincinnati Bengals. Running back Jordan Mason rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries, while star wideout Jefferson hauled in five receptions for 75 yards.

As the NFL continues to promote football around the world, the Croke Park backdrop for this game should make for a memorable, must-see setting and atmosphere.

New York Giants start rookie QB Jaxson Dart against undefeated Los Angeles Chargers

After the Giants fell to 0-3 on the season, they want to see what rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has to offer right now.

So Big Blue has taken the ball out of veteran Russell Wilson’s hands and have penciled Dart into the pocket at home against the undefeated Los Angeles Chargers (3-0) on Sunday.

Though Dart, the 25^th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, had an impressive showing in the preseason, he will be up against a Chargers’ defense that is allowing under 300 total yards a game, making this a steep challenge in his debut.

With the fan base in desperate need of something to cheer for, let’s see what the 22-year-old Dart can muster in this trial by fire.

NFC playoff preview? Eagles clash with Buccaneers in battle of undefeated squads

There are three undefeated teams in the NFC. The Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are two of them.

The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles (3-0) will swoop down on Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida on Sunday to visit the Buccaneers (3-0) with each team looking to improve to 4-0 and stake their claim for early NFC supremacy.

Last week, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles had to rally from a 19-point second-half deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Rams and stay unbeaten.

They’ll face a Buccaneers team which is off to its best start in 20 years after a game-winning field goal propelled them to victory against the New York Jets last week. Quarterback Baker Mayfield aired it out for 233 yards in that win.

The Bucs will need to cut down on their whistles, though, as they had 14 penalties in Week 3.

A win under their belt, Chiefs host Ravens in pivotal AFC matchup

It has been a rough start to the season for both the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens.

The pair of 1-2 teams will meet at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, desperately trying to avoid falling into a 1-3 hole.

Baltimore is on a short week after falling to the Detroit Lions, 38-30, in a Monday Night Football tilt that had Lamar Jackson throwing for 288 yards and three touchdowns, but also suffering through seven sacks.

The Chiefs finally got into the win column in Week 3, defeating the New York Giants, 27-20, with Patrick Mahomes taking to the air for one touchdown and one interception, but haven’t looked like the well-oiled machine that had them winning three Super Bowls in the past six years.

These AFC rivals tend to always have tight games with five of their last six meetings being decided by seven-or-fewer points, according to the NFL.

Will Jackson lead his Ravens to victory on the road? Or will Mahomes take the Chiefs to .500 for the first time this season?

Micah Parsons returns to Dallas as Packers face his former Cowboys team

Just as Micah Parsons has been getting comfortable as a member of the Green Bay Packers, he is forced to return to Dallas for the first time since the Cowboys shockingly traded him in August after failed contract negotiations.

Parsons and the Packers (2-1) will touch down at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas to face his former Cowboys (1-2) team in a Sunday Night Football matchup.

That means Parsons will be looking to get to his former quarterback Dak Prescott.

Through three games this season, the star defensive end has totaled 1.5 sacks and five tackles for the Packers. Prior to that, Parsons produced 52.5 sacks and 64 tackles for loss during his four seasons with the Cowboys, flexing just how dominant of a disruptor and game-changer he could be.

What kind of reception will he receive in his return to Dallas? And how will Parsons make the Cowboys’ faithful sorely miss his contributions?
