Before kickoff, The Balance gets you primed for Sunday. Host Tom Marquis teams up with Ed Kracz — Eagles beat writer for SI.com — to break down the biggest NFL matchups of the day. With the Eagles on their bye week, Ed and Tom shift focus to the Chiefs’ offensive rhythm, the Lions’ dominance, the Texans’ surprising rise, and whether the Panthers can finally right the ship. Of course, they’ll throw on the homer cap to talk about the surging Indianapolis Colts and how this team keeps finding a way.
