However, while Philadelphia is 4-2 and in the running for the NFC East title, Jacksonville is only 2-5. With the Minnesota Vikings sitting at 5-1 and looking like one of the league's best teams, the NFL decided to alter its Week 9 primetime schedule. The Vikings will host the Indianapolis Colts, now 4-3 after Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins, at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 2. NBC will broadcast the game, which was originally slated for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Booted from the night window, Philadelphia and Jacksonville will instead play at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2rgERV_0wG2529B00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2rgERV_0wG2529B00" width="1199" height="800" ><figcaption>MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - SEPTEMBER 15: Sam Darnold #14 of the Minnesota Vikings throws a pass against the San Francisco 49ers during the fourth quarter at U.S. Bank Stadium on September 15, 2024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Projected by many to miss the playoffs, Minnesota started 5-0 before losing 32-31 to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Journeyman quarterback Sam Darnold is enjoying a renaissance season, and Minnesota's defense has been formidable under defensive coordinator Brian Flores. In the rugged NFC North, the Vikings look like they are going to be a factor all season. As for Indianapolis, they have battled ups and downs through the first seven weeks, particularly at the quarterback position. Second-year pro Anthony Richardson has dealt with injuries, and hasn't played well when he has been on the field, but the Colts have still managed to win three of Richardson's five starts. Veteran Joe Flacco went 1-1 in place of Richardson in Weeks 5 and 6. Indianapolis is set to take on the Houston Texans on the road this Sunday, while the Vikings will travel to play the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football . <a href="https://thespun.com/nfl/nfl-fans-loved-erin-andrews-red-hot-outfit-on-sunday" rel="nofollow"> Related: NFL Fans Loved Erin Andrews' Red-Hot Outfit On Sunday </a></div></body>
