This is not one of Channel 5 or 5ACTION&#8217;s free-to-air picks this week, so Sky Sports or NFL Game Pass on <a href=\"https:\/\/tidd.ly\/3SxpKbx\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DAZN<\/a> is the route to it. Sky Sports has the UK coverage and NFL Game Pass on DAZN carries every game of the season, live or on demand. Sky takes one exclusive pick from each of the Sunday 6pm and 9pm windows, and those two reach Game Pass 24 hours after the final whistle.
