Week 5 of the NFL season came to a close on Monday night with the Jaguars taking down the defending AFC champion Chiefs—thanks to a floundering Trevor Lawrence—to get to 4-1 and send Kansas City to 2-3.
Elsewhere across the league this weekend, the Cardinals (literally) fumbled away a victory against the once-winless Titans, former first-round quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold traded blows in a matchup for the ages, and Mike Vrabel's Patriots arrived with an upset win over the Bills on Sunday Night Football.
Now? We're onto Week 6. Here's a complete look at the upcoming NFL slate, with matchups, times, and where to watch each contest:

Who Is Playing on Monday Night Football This Week?
Home Team | Away Team | Time | Where to Watch |
|---|---|---|---|
Atlanta Falcons | Buffalo Bills | 7:15 p.m. ET | ESPN |
Washington Commanders | Chicago Bears | 8:15 p.m. ET | ABC |
We've got ourselves a double-header coming up on Monday Night Football this week, with the Bills heading to Atlanta to take on the Falcons, and the Bears heading to Washington for a matchup against the Commanders.
For Buffalo, they come into Week 6 looking to get back in the win column after losing to the Patriots at home last Sunday night, while Atlanta—fresh off a bye—is looking to make it two in a row after a 1-3 start to the season.
In game two of the evening, it’s Washington, who have quarterback Jayden Daniels back from a knee injury and was able to take care of business against the Chargers in Week 5 to improve to 3-2, taking on Chicago, who enter Monday night having won two straight games with Caleb Williams looking worthy of being the No. 1 pick a year ago.
Who Has a Bye in Week 6?
The Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings have byes in Week 6. This is the second week of byes across the NFL—which will run through Week 14.
