2017 NFL Schedule: Biggest Game of Every Regular Season Week
By Erik Lambert
Second Quarter
Week 5 – Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys
Dallas used to own the Packers in the playoffs, which made their 34-31 heartbreaker back in January that much tougher to stomach. They’ve yet to beat Aaron Rodgers in a meaningful game. It’s not an ideal revenge scenario, but it’s a step in the right direction.
Week 6 – Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans
An underrated battle between two of the top quarterbacks in the league. Andrew Luck facing off with Marcus Mariota. This will likely involve control of the division. Few things drive game intrigue more than a good quarterback duel. Don’t forget about those two.
Week 7 – Atlanta Falcons at New England Patriots
As if this is any surprise. The two teams that took the Super Bowl to its first-ever overtime meeting for a rematch? Of course people will want to watch it. Atlanta has so much to prove in this game, and the hostile environment of Gillette Stadium could be the place for exorcising demons.
Week 8 – Houston Texans at Seattle Seahawks
Sure the QB matchups are fun, but the NFL can still produce some classics featuring great defenses. Houston and Seattle have two of the best in the business. Russell Wilson better buckle up. He’ll have a healthy J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney on the prowl in that game.
