Four games, four undefeated teams, two winless teams, and plenty of early-season pressure. Not bad for a random Sunday afternoon in October.

The headliner's easy to spot: the 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs take on the 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders, a matchup that would’ve sounded pretty wild just nine months ago. Meanwhile, two winless teams are already trying to keep rough starts from turning into lost seasons.

Here’s what’s worth watching.

How To Watch

Miami Dolphins at Minnesota Vikings kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET on FOX with streaming on Fox One. Then at 4:25 p.m. ET, we’ve got Kansas City Chiefs at Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers at Seattle Seahawks, and Denver Broncos at San Francisco 49ers, all on CBS and digitally on Paramount+.

Kansas City Chiefs At Las Vegas Raiders

This is the one.

Kansas City and Las Vegas have never played with both teams sitting at 3-0 or better. They’ll also head into Sunday averaging the exact same 29.3 points per game.

That’s pretty much where the similarities stop.

The Chiefs look like a machine again. Patrick Mahomes has thrown for 812 yards and seven touchdowns, and Kenneth Walker III leads the NFL with 360 rushing yards. The Raiders haven’t been quite as dominant, but they’ve been plenty opportunistic. Kirk Cousins has thrown exactly three touchdowns in each game and the defense has helped create a league-best plus-five turnover margin. Things really opened up for them last week when Brock Bowers came back with 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown.

The matchup that matters most is Walker against a Raiders run defense giving up 116.3 yards per game. Las Vegas can’t spend the afternoon sitting back and hoping Mahomes makes a mistake anymore. The Chiefs have a back that'll actually make them pay for that.

And because this is an AFC West game, the winner gets the division lead and the first head-to-head tiebreaker. For the Raiders, it’s also their first real proof-of-concept game. Beating Miami, the Chargers, and New Orleans got people’s attention. Beating Kansas City would change the conversation completely.

Denver Broncos At San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco's scoring touchdowns on nearly half of its possessions and, somehow, have made it through three games without giving up a sack. Brock Purdy has nine touchdown passes, one interception, and the league’s most efficient offense rolling.

Now the 49ers get a defense built to mess with exactly that kind of comfort.

Denver's racked up an NFL-best 139 sacks since the start of 2024, and former 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga just earned himself AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors after picking off two passes and adding a sack in the fourth quarter.

The problem is that Denver keeps waiting until halftime to start looking like Denver. The Broncos have been outscored 40-10 in the first half, then came back from double-digit holes in each of the past two weeks. That’s a fun identity — until you try it against a 49ers offense that’s lost yardage on just four of their 163 plays.

Los Angeles Chargers At Seattle Seahawks

The Chargers forced five turnovers against Buffalo last week and still lost 24-16.

That’s pretty much their 0-3 start in a nutshell.

The defense is creating chances. The offense just keeps throwing them away. Justin Herbert has three touchdowns to four interceptions and Los Angeles hasn’t scored more than 16 points yet.

Seattle's a brutal place to try to sort out that kind of identity crisis.

The defending champs just had a 12-game winning streak snapped, but the defense still held Washington to 248 yards and 4.0 yards per play. Three Seattle turnovers turned directly into 21 points.

The big question is whether Los Angeles can keep Herbert comfortable long enough to get Ladd McConkey involved downfield. If they can’t, Seattle just needs to avoid another giveaway avalanche and let Jaxon Smith-Njigba do the rest. He’s already up to 405 yards and six touchdowns in three games — two of them with a backup quarterback.

A Seahawks win keeps them within striking distance of San Francisco in the NFC West.

Miami Dolphins At Minnesota Vikings

This is the strangest 3-0 team against the bleakest 0-3 team.

Minnesota ranks last in total offense and just beat Tampa Bay with an 86-yard punt-return touchdown. The Vikings have also recorded at least four sacks and two takeaways in every game. They’re winning because every phase except the offense keeps creating points and short fields.

Miami hasn’t scored more than 13 points all season and just lost De’Von Achane to a season-ending ACL tear. Now Malik Willis gets a defense that blitzes on 68.1% of opposing dropbacks, far-and-away the highest rate in football. He’s completed only half of his throws against the blitz.

The Vikings have a pretty obvious problem of their own. Justin Jefferson is out with an ankle sprain, and the offense looked even more limited after he left last week. If Minnesota can’t move the ball against this defense, that’s a real concern.

Minnesota can move to 4-0 here without a single good game from their offense.
