It was another wild and unpredictable week as the NFL’s 107th campaign is now halfway through its regular-season schedule. What really stood out was the fact that home field advantage has taken a hit in 2026. This past week, 10 of the 15 teams (including the “host” Falcons in Madrid) that were at home came up short on the scoreboard. This season, home clubs are a combined one game under .500 with a 67-68-1 record.
On Sunday, the Detroit Lions host the unpredictable New England Patriots in Munich. For what it is worth, Dan Campbell’s club owns a 4-0 mark at Ford Field this season and is the “home” team in Germany.
By the way, it was a very busy Tuesday around the league. And it should be a fascinating Week 10 thanks to a slew of moves.
Everything you need to know for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL Season
Off: Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay
Thursday, Nov. 12
Washington (2-5-1) at N.Y. Giants (5-2-1): The Commanders and Giants meet for the second time in 2026 and perhaps there will be a winner this time. These longtime NFC East rivals battled to a 27-all overtime tie in Week 5 at Landover. John Harbaugh’s club has yet to lose a divisional game (2-0-1) this season.
Sunday, Nov. 15
New England (5-4) vs. Detroit (6-2) (Munich): Mike Vrabel’s team was humbled at home last Sunday by Jordan Love and the Packers’ passing game. The Lions struggled at Miami last week but have won four straight. The Pats have committed 19 turnovers in nine games, 13 of those miscues by Drake Maye.
Buffalo (7-1) at N.Y. Jets (2-7): It’s the first meeting of the season between these AFC East rivals. Buffalo has won four in a row since falling to the Pats in Week 4. New York has dropped five straight in this series by a combined 160-58 score. The Bills added ball-hawking safety Amani Hooker via trade from Tennessee.
Miami (1-7) at Indianapolis (2-7): While Jeff Hafley’s team has its offensive limitations, his defense has been making strides. Since evening their record at 2-2, Shane Steichen’s club has dropped five straight contests. The Dolphins put Malik Willis on injured reserve, so Kyle McCord make his first NFL start.
Kansas City (6-2) at Atlanta (3-6): Andy Reid’s team snapped a brief two-game skid last Sunday with a lopsided win over the visiting Jets. The Falcons got off to a good start vs. the Bengals at Madrid but really had no answers for Joe Burrow. The Chiefs dealt for wideout Josh Downs (Colts) at the trade deadline.
Minnesota (6-2) at Green Bay (6-3): In Week 1 at Minneapolis, Green Bay took a 22-10 third-quarter lead, then gave up the final game’s 29 points. Packers’ quarterback Jordan Love has thrown two or more scores in eight of nine games this season. Will Minnesota’s offense improve with the return of Kirk Cousins?
Jacksonville (6-2) at Tennessee (1-7): In their last two outings, Liam Coen’s surging team beat the Colts and Ravens by a combined 75-17 score. The 1-7 Titans are 1-7 in their last eight meetings in this rivalry. The Jaguars have dealt for defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Davon Godchaux and safety Jessie Bates.
Houston (3-5) at Cleveland (5-4): The sneaky Texans have won three of their last four outings after a 0-4 start. DeMeco Ryans’s club is tied for the NFL lead with 29 sacks in eight games. The Browns have dropped their last two games after opening 5-2 and have allowed a league-high 38 sacks in nine contests.
Carolina (3-5) at New Orleans (3-5): A season ago, the Panthers won the NFC South with an 8-9 record while Kellen Moore’s team finished last in the division with a 6-11 mark. But the Saints actually swept Dave Canales’s team in 2025. Carolina has now dropped three straight games after a promising 3-2 start.
L.A. Rams (5-4) at Arizona (3-6): Four weeks ago at SoFi Stadium, Mike LaFleur’s team failed to reach the end zone, but six field goals were enough to knock off the Rams, 18-16. Now the Cardinals can sweep this series for the first time since 2014. Sean McVay’s club is suddenly riding a three-game winning streak.
Seattle (5-4) at Las Vegas (4-5): Seahawks’ quarterback Sam Darnold will miss his second straight game and third contest this season, but will Mike Macdonald’s team be led by Drew Lock or Jalen Milroe? The Raiders, 1-5 in their last six contests, have a new man behind center in rookie Fernando Mendoza.
San Francisco (7-1) at Dallas (4-5): The Niners returned after their off week, shook off their first loss of 2026, and disposed of Las Vegas. The Cowboys’ defense isn’t much better than the Raiders, and will be hard-pressed to slow down Brock Purdy and the Niners’ attack that just added wideout Keenan Allen.
Sunday night
Pittsburgh (6-2) at Cincinnati (6-2): In Week 3, the Steelers and Bengals combined for 57 points, with the former away with a 30-27 victory. Since losing back-to-back games to Pittsburgh and Jacksonville, Zac Taylor’s club and quarterback Joe Burrow are on a four-game roll—scoring 31-plus points in each victory.
Monday, Nov. 16
L.A. Chargers (0-8) at Baltimore (4-5): Including playoffs, Jim Harbaugh’s club has lost 11 straight games dating back to Week 17 of 2025. The Ravens have dropped four in a row, and been outscored a combined 117-43 in those losses. Jacoby Brissett would be Baltimore’s fourth different starting quarterback in 2026.
