Cleveland Browns (8-3) at Tennessee Titans (8-3), 1:00 pm

Browns: The club’s running game continues to take center stage and has been exceptional with Nick Chubb back in the lineup. After missing four games with a knee injury, he’s totaled a combined 58 carries for 384 yards and two scores in the Browns’ last three games (all wins) and has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in each of those contests.

Titans: Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith continue to give workhorse running back Derrick Henry the rock. In 11 games this season, he’s totaled at least 18 carries in each contest. He’s totaled an NFL-best 256 attempts for a league-high 1,257 yards and 12 scores – reaching the 100-yard mark on the ground seven times.

Los Angeles Rams (7-4) at Arizona Cardinals (6-5), 4:05 pm

Rams: This has been quite the lopsided series since Sean McVay became head coach in 2017. The teams have played in Los Angeles, Arizona and London over that span and the Rams have prevailed in six straight meetings – by a combined 195-56 score. And McVay’s club has scored at least 31 points in each of those half-dozen contests.

Cardinals: The club has dropped three of its last four contests after a 5-0 start. After totaling at least 30 points in five consecutive contests, Kliff Kingsbury’s club came up with a combined 38 points in their last two games. The Cardinals have allowed eight sacks in their last three games after giving up 10 QB traps in their first eight outings.
