Week 8 NFL Discussion

As we know, the Minnesota Vikings have already played their Week 8 contest, as they defeated the Washington Redskins on Thursday Night Football by a final score of 19-9. However, there’s a whole lot more action for the National Football League to offer for this week, and you know what that means.

That’s right, folks. . .for the first time this year we have a complete, total, and full-on RED ZONE SUNDAY where we can just relax and let all of the action come to us. If you’ve got access to the Red Zone Channel, frankly you’ve got everything you need for a full day of NFL action.

If you don’t have the Red Zone Channel. . .that’s a damn shame. But, we’re here to help, as we’re going to run down the games from coast to coast and border to border for the remainder of the Week 8 schedule. If you’re hoping to see the Dallas Cowboys or the Baltimore Ravens. . .well, too bad, because they’re off this week.
