Football fans have had this Saturday marked on their calendar for months as having the potential for being an all-timer. With the NFL moving two games to standalone windows and a College Football Playoff tripleheader, the possibilities were endless. It promised to be an all-day buffet of meaningful pigskin and, largely, all the teams involved have done their part to create great intrigue. The NFL's first game, an NFC East tilt between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, has lost a little luster as a conference championship rematch but everything else will have big stakes.
Decisions will have to be made as both brands of football go up each other in multiple viewing windowns.
