NFL TV Schedule 2020: Week 6 Coverage Map Listings for Every Game

Week 5 of the 2020 NFL season brought with it plenty of drama, a few upsets and two really big statement games.

The Las Vegas Raiders showed they are a force to be reckoned with in the AFC by dominating the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs, and the Tennessee Titans proved the same thing by embarrassing the previously undefeated Buffalo Bills on Tuesday night.

The Seattle Seahawks, meanwhile, showed that even with a lackluster pass defense, they can pull out wins as long as MVP candidate Russell Wilson can finish the game with the ball in his hands.

It's been a fun first five weeks, and now the NFL pecking order is beginning to take shape. The action continues on Sunday, and we're here to help you follow your favorite teams.

We'll examine the full schedule, along with viewing information, and dig into some of the most important games of the weekend.

Preview

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers

A week after facing the 3-1 Indianapolis Colts, the Cleveland Browns find themselves entering another AFC dogfight.

The Pittsburgh Steelers sit at 4-0 and in first place in the AFC North. This is obviously an important game in the divisional race, and in the AFC in general.

With each conference sending three wild-card teams to the playoffs now, there's a better chance of three teams from one division making the postseason. This doesn't mean, however, that the Browns, Steelers and Baltimore Ravens won't all be scrapping to get in. 

This game has the potential to be a brutal in-the-trenches slugfest. It features two top-10 rushing attacks, two top-10 run defenses, two premier pass-rushers in T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett and a handful of explosive receiving weapons.

The Steelers should have a slight edge here, as they're at home and have a healthier quarterback. Baker Mayfield is dealing with a rib injury and might not be at 100 percent come Sunday.

"Just one day at a time right now. Feel a little sore, but we have the rest of the week until gameday," he said, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.

It wouldn't be a shock to see a hard shot from Watt or Bud Dupree be the difference-maker in this game.

Atlanta Falcons at Minnesota Vikings

While there are not nearly as many playoff implications on the line in this one, Sunday's game between the winless Atlanta Falcons and the 1-4 Minnesota Vikings will be huge.

This will be the first game Atlanta plays after the firing of head coach Dan Quinn, and it could set the stage for the remainder of the season.

If the Falcons can prove they can be competitive without Quinn, they'll have a chance to head into 2021 with some momentum—and yes, the playoffs are still technically a possibility. However, if they continue to play a hapless brand of football, a full-blown rebuild could be on the horizon.

Another bad loss here could start sucking players such as Julio Jones and Matt Ryan into the trade-rumor mill.

The Vikings, meanwhile, desperately need a win to keep their fading playoff hopes alive. They have lost to quality teams like the Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Titans and Seahawks, but losses are losses. If the defeats continue to mount, Minnesota might be one of the best teams sitting at home in January.

The Vikings also face an added obstacle here, as star running back Dalvin Cook is dealing with an adductor strain and isn't expected to play, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills

Originally scheduled for Thursday night, this game has the potential to be one of the best of the weekend. Both the Chiefs and Bills are both coming off of their first losses of the season and need to make a statement here.

This game carries less weight in the AFC West and AFC East races as Buffalo and Kansas City are each in relative control of their respective divisions. However, it could play a huge factor in the race for the AFC's No. 1 seed—and that's as important as it's ever been.

Under the new playoff format, only one team from each conference gets a first-round bye in the postseason. While there is still plenty of football still to be played, these two teams could look back on Week 6 as the time they won or lost it.

The game itself should be plenty of fun too, with a quarterback duel between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen headlining the action.
