Game of the Week: Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers – We know Russell Wilson will be back. Will Aaron Rodgers return after missing last week’s game due to COVID? The Seahawks haven’t won at Lambeau Field since 1999 (in that game, in case you were curious, the QB matchup was Brett Favre vs. Jon Kitna).

Kansas City Chiefs at Las Vegas Raiders – The Chiefs are coming off a win over an NFC contender. The Raiders, meanwhile, lost on the road against the Giants last week.
