The NFL’s top two in catches meet in Arizona-Seattle, 4:25 ET on FOX.
• Cardinals are 3-5; Seahawks 4-4.
• Trey McBride leads with 66 receptions.
• Jaxon Smith-Njigba is second with 64.
Another 100-yard game would make JSN just the third player to reach that mark in eight of his team’s first nine games.
Raiders (4-4) visit the 49ers (6-1), 4:25 ET on FOX.
• Kirk Cousins leads the AFC with 2,124 passing yards.
• Brock Bowers needs five catches to break the TE record through three seasons.
• Brock Purdy has 99 TD passes in 56 games.
One more makes Purdy the fastest to 100 in 49ers history.
Packers-Patriots pairs two 5-3 teams at 4:25 ET on FOX.
• Both have won four of their past five.
• Jordan Love leads the NFL with 2,246 passing yards.
• Drake Maye has 3+ combined TDs in five straight games.
Love’s next TD pass makes him the fifth Packer to reach 100.
Denver (6-2) visits Carolina (3-4) at 1 ET on CBS with history in reach.
• Broncos have won 15 straight one-score regular-season games.
• Bo Nix has 15 career game-winning drives.
• Alex Singleton leads the NFL with 101 tackles.
Another one-score win would break Denver’s tie with the 2008-09 Colts for the longest streak ever.
Joe Burrow takes his TD streak to Madrid: Bengals (5-2) vs. Falcons (3-5), Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network.
• Burrow threw for 462 yards last week.
• Has 4+ TD passes in three straight games.
• Bijan Robinson has 983 scrimmage yards.
A fourth straight would put Burrow alongside Manning, Marino and Brady.
Jacksonville’s run defense meets Derrick Henry in Baltimore Thursday, 8:15 ET on Prime Video.
• Jaguars are 5-2; Ravens 4-4.
• Jacksonville has gone 24 straight games without allowing a 75-yard rusher.
• Henry has 136 career TDs, tied with Marshall Faulk.
A 25th straight would make Jacksonville just the third team to reach that mark in the Super Bowl era.
Bills-Vikings brings two 6-1 teams to Monday night, 8:15 ET on ESPN/ABC.
• Buffalo leads the NFL at 33.3 points per game.
• Minnesota allows a league-low 13.3.
• Vikings blitz on 73.1% of dropbacks.
It’s the first Week 9-or-later matchup of a 33+ scoring offense and a defense allowing 14 or fewer since 2013.

STATEMENT FROM JACK CAMPBELL
My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express.
I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.
My faith in God has never been stronger. I know He has a plan for me, and I trust in that plan. I know there may be challenges ahead, but with my faith, my family, and so many people in my corner, I know we’ll get through this.
I especially want to thank the athletic trainers and medical personnel who responded and cared for me on the field. I know those were difficult moments, and I’m incredibly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care you showed me. The way you handled everything and looked after me when I needed it most is something I’ll never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I also can’t say enough about the incredible care I’ve received from the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Detroit Lions medical staff. They’ve been amazing to me and my family throughout this process, and I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done.
To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people.
One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge.
Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough.
God is good. My faith is strong.
