Week 7 of the 2019 NFL season offers a plethora of early afternoon games.

There aren’t a lot of great matchups this week. Perhaps the best of the early afternoon games has the Houston Texans and their great young quarterback Deshaun Watson taking on the Indianapolis Colts with first place in the AFC South division on the line. The Colts just aren’t the same without the recently retired Andrew Luck White Brandon Shell Jerseys , but they have a deep enough team that they are still in contention for a division title. One of these two teams will likely win the AFC South, so this game shapes up to be a big game with playoff implications.Elsewhere in the early games the Minnesota Vikings face the Detroit Lions in an NFC North showdown; the Arizona Cardinals take on the New York Ginats in a battle of also rans with interesting rookie quarterbacks; the San Francisco 49ers visit the Washington Redskins in what looks to be a 49er walkover; the Miami Dolphins shuffle on up to Buffalo to play the Bills as old friend Ryan Fitzpatrick has the misfortune of staring down a fierce Bills defense with little in the way of a supporting cast; the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Cincinnati Bengals play an already meaningless game in mid October; the surprising Oakland Raiders attempt to upset Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers; and the Los Angeles Rams take on the hapless Atlanta Falcons as the seat gets white hot for Dan Quinn. Enjoy the games everybody. Use this thread to comment on whichever early afternoon games catch your fancy. Ben Roethlisberger had a lot of success throwing the ball to Le'Veon Bell over their years together in Pittsburgh and Bell’s new quarterback is looking forward to the same kind of results.Sam Darnold will have to wait a few more days before the Jets open up their offseason program, but he’s spent time watching Bell on tape and sees ways that the team’s big free agent pickup can make life easier in 2019 and beyond. In addition to Bell’s ability to make plays as a runner Brandon Shell Jerseys 2019 , Darnold has also taken note of his ability to turn a check down into something more productive.“I love it,” Darnold said, via . “I mean White Eric Tomlinson Jerseys , what’s not to love about it? Le’Veon is a great player. He’s very instinctual too. He’s very quarterback friendly, which I’ve noticed watching his tape a little bit. Whenever Big Ben was back there, you could kind of sense that Eric Tomlinson Jerseys 2019 , as a quarterback, too, you sense when time runs out. You start looking for guys and Le’Veon is always really friendly and he’s always kind of right there in your vision. Or he was always in Ben’s vision. So I’m looking forward to that White Darryl Roberts Jerseys , just whenever I need him, just him to be that security blanket that I need to just check it down and he can get yards after the catch. So I’m really excited about it.”Developing Darnold has been a top priority for the Jets since they took him with the third overall pick last year and Bell’s ability to provide more options for the offense should fit right into that process. The Jets will get to start working with both players on Monday and having them on the same page come September will be a chief focus of all their offseason work.
