The eighth week of the 2026 NFL season features several important divisional matchups. The Vikings, the lone remaining undefeated team at 6–0, will take on the Lions as they look to further their lead in the NFC North. In the AFC North, the other division where all teams are better than .500, the Steelers and Browns will compete for the division lead.
Meanwhile, the Falcons and Buccaneers will look to improve their standing in the NFC South when they face off and the Broncos will try to get revenge on the Chiefs for their embarrassing Week 1 loss. And on Sunday night, the Eagles and Commanders will fight to avoid being the NFC East cellar in an underwhelming prime-time matchup.
