NFL Week 8

This page contains the schedule and other news and information pertaining to the eighth week of the 2008 season in the National Football League. The games will be played on Sunday October 26 and Monday October 27. For the fifth consecutive week, several teams will have the week off from playing games as they observe their bye week. This means that the Bears, Bengals, Broncos, Packers, Texans, and Vikings all are off. Week 8 also marks the second consecutive season, and third time in history, in which a regular season game will be contested outside of the United States and in the city of London. Wembley Stadium is the site as the San Diego Chargers take on the New Orleans Saints. The winner of this game hopes that history repeats itself, because the winner of last year's game in London went on to win the Super Bowl. Back across the pond in America, there is no Sunday Night Football contest as the NFL traditionally elects not to play a game opposite the first Sunday night game of the World Series. However, the week concludes on Monday Night Football with an AFC South match-up between the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans in Nashville.
