NFL schedule Week 5: TV coverage, channels, scores for every football game today

10/10/2021

The Chiefs just have to get going at some point, right? Sitting at 2-2 through their first four games of the season, the worst start since Patrick Mahomes became quarterback, was not exactly how the reigning AFC champions imagined beginning the 2021 season.

Unfortunately for them, the road doesn’t get any easier on Sunday. The Chiefs will return to Arrowhead Stadium for a home matchup against perhaps this season’s most complete team to date in the Bills, who are tied for the second-most points scored (134) and have allowed the fewest points against (44).

The slate of day games also figures to deliver on some exciting matchups. There will be two matchups of 3-1 teams, with the Bengals hosting the Packers during the 1 p.m. ET slot and the Chargers hosting the Browns at 4:05 p.m. ET. And while two of the NFC West’s best fought on “Thursday Night Football,” two more will square off Sunday afternoon when the Cardinals play the 49ers.

Week 5 will also have the earliest start time for any game so far this season as the Jets will play the Falcons in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in London at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Sporting News has you covered for everything you need to watch the fifth week of the season.
