17. Week 11 – Baltimore Ravens at Tennessee Titans

Alas, a rematch of the 2019 AFC Divisional game.

Why is the game so intriguing? The Ravens will again face one of the few teams in the business that has yet to tame quarterback Lamar Jackson. For Baltimore, the suppression of Jackson’s skill set was ultra devastating because it took place one game before a now-hypothetical date with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship.

The Ravens and Titans will compete again this November in Tennessee. Onlookers will determine if Titans coach Mike Vrabel has the special sauce to habitually thwart Jackson’s fireworks or if the postseason game last January was an outlier.

18. Week 11 – Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota and Dallas tussled last November in primetime. The Vikings upset Dallas by a score of 28-24. Jerry Jones and former head coach Jason Garrett did not know it at the time, but this would be the beginning of the end to the 2019 Cowboys season and Garrett’s gainful employment in Dallas.

Dallas entered the game holding a 5-3 record — they finished 8-8 on the season. The game itself was thoroughly entertaining. Kirk Cousins silenced some critics of his primetime performance, Dak Prescott threw for nearly 400 yards, Ezekiel Elliott was bottled up for 47 rushing yards, and Minnesota linebacker sealed the game with a pass-breakup of a Prescott late-game toss.
