Falcons @ Eagles, Cowboys @ Steelers and Seahawks @ Patriots
Monday 14 November 2016 05:40, UK
Week 10 provided an opportunity for NFL fans in the UK to choose the Sky Live games for the 6pm and 9pm fixtures on Sunday.
With an overwhelming majority, fans voted for the Dallas Cowboys' trip to Pittsburgh as the late game, while the meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons edged out all competitors for the right to be this week's opening fixture.
To finish off a fantastic triple header, the Seattle Seahawks travel to Foxborough, New England where they face the Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl 49.
Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles - 5:30pm, Sky Sports 2
The top ranked offence continues to roll as Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons put up 43 points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their sixth win of the season.
However, they face an entirely different defensive proposition this week as the Eagles look to bounce back from two divisional defeats and get themselves back into the AFC East race.
Four losses in five does not read well for the Eagles, who now sit 4-4 and have little in the way of offensive weapons. Philadelphia rank 21st and 28th in rushing and receiving respectively, and rookie quarterback Carson Wentz is suffering accordingly.
After avoiding interceptions in his opening three games, Wentz has thrown four in the last three, but may be able to get back on track against Atlanta, who post the second worst passing defence in the NFL.
However, this game has all the makings of a shootout. The Falcons, running well with Devonta Freeman, with Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu posing aerial threats, certainly have the edge.
Home advantage and a strong defence gives Philadelphia a chance, and if they can pull it off, it would be a major confidence boost going into the second half of the season.
Dallas Cowboys @ Pittsburgh Steelers - 9:00pm Sky Sports 2
Seven games unbeaten, led by a rookie quarterback-running back combination, the Dallas Cowboys lead the NFC conference and post one of the more surprising successes this year.
Dak Prescott, their fourth round QB thrown into the starting job after Tony Romo's back injury, has excelled behind the best offensive line in the NFL. The big question is whether he will keep his place as Romo returns to full fitness, but it looks as though Prescott will continue for this week at least.
Ezekiel Elliott has been even more productive than his quarterback, with seven touchdowns and almost 900 yards. The running back is aiming for Eric Dickerson's 1,808 rookie record, and current projections indicate he is on track.
In contrast, the Pittsburgh Steelers have lost three on the bounce, despite quarterback Ben Roethlisberger returning from injury for last week's 21-14 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens.
'Big Ben' will look for an improved performance against the Cowboys to give his side a chance. Dallas are yet to concede more than 23 in a game, but with injuries to Barry Church and Morris Claiborne, the Steelers have a great opportunity to take advantage and improve to 5-4.
Le'Veon Bell was held to 32 rushing yards against the Ravens, and will need some help from his offensive line to get going against Dallas.
Heinz Field is an intimidating place for any player to go, and the Steelers fans will be out in force to make life as uncomfortable as possible for Prescott and co. If the Cowboys can handle their toughest test yet, a Super Bowl run becomes a realistic goal.
Seattle Seahawks @ New England Patriots - 1:00am Sky Sports 2
Our final live game of the weekend sets up the first meeting since Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson to win Super Bowl 49 for New England in February 2015.
Fast forward 18 months and both teams once again lead their respective divisions as Seattle look to have overcome a rocky start with a convincing performance against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
Russell Wilson has begun to show the movement that stood him out as an elite quarterback, and tight end Jimmy Graham is performing at the top of his game, following a slow start to life in Seattle.
Running back Christine Michael will continue to take the bulk of snaps from the backfield as Thomas Rawls continues his rehabilitation with limited practices. There is good news for the Seahawks defence as Kam Chancellor is expected to be fully fit, following a groin injury that kept him out four weeks.
On the other hand, the New England Patriots have moved into top gear with the return of quarterback Tom Brady, who is in contention for the regular season MVP accolade already, despite missing four games this season.
Brady is averaging more than 300 yards and three touchdowns a game, and the Patriots comfortably lead the AFC East with a 7-1 record.
Head coach Bill Belichick elected to trade linebacker Jamie Collins to Cleveland in their bye week, which will result in an increased workload for sixth round rookie Elandon Roberts.
Catch all of the action from week 10 on Sunday November 13 from 5:30pm with our live triple header on Sky Sports 2, and uninterrupted Redzone coverage on Sky Sports Mix from 6pm.
