Seven games of the Week 8 Sunday early slate are officially in the books, with three still to come in the late afternoon window; an NFC South showdown between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints kicks off the action.
The real magic may just be starting at 4:25, however, as the Dallas Cowboys take on the Denver Broncos. The Broncos were in full comeback mode in Week 7, scoring 33 points in the fourth quarter to sneak by the Giants, hoping to keep that momentum going Sunday. Quarterback Bo Nix scored four touchdowns, with two coming through the air and two on the ground. This Week 8 matchup could come down to whichever team has the ball last.
