Unbeaten Vikings at Detroit and Chiefs at Denver lead a big NFL Sunday

The NFL's last unbeaten team plays on the road Sunday, and two of the AFC's oldest rivalries have real stakes attached. All times are Eastern, from ESPN's schedule and the NFL's own listings.

Vikings (6-0) at Lions (4-2), 1 p.m., FOX. Minnesota has won with defense. The Vikings allow 12.3 points per game, and their last five wins came by scores of 9-3, 23-16, 15-10, 23-13 and 16-10. Detroit is the opposite kind of team. The Lions score 30.7 points a game but allow 27.5, and they lost 41-31 to Buffalo this season. Detroit is a 3-point favorite. Watch Dallas Turner, who leads Minnesota with six sacks, against Jared Goff, who has 14 touchdown passes. Lions safety Kerby Joseph is out.

Tale of the tape: Chiefs (5-1) at Broncos (5-2), 4:25 p.m., CBS

• Points per game: Kansas City 23.8, Denver 20.6
• Points allowed: Kansas City 17.2, Denver 20.1
• Rushing leader: Kenneth Walker III, 701 yards and six touchdowns, against J.K. Dobbins, 293 yards and three touchdowns
• Passing: Patrick Mahomes, 1,474 yards, nine touchdowns and four interceptions; Bo Nix, 1,271 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions
• Line: Kansas City by 1.5

This is the AFC West lead on the line. Denver's offense averages 276.4 yards, the lower number by more than 100 yards a game, so the Broncos need their defense and Zach Allen, who leads the team with 4.5 sacks and is questionable. Receiver Jaylen Waddle is also questionable, and the Chiefs ruled out cornerback Mansoor Delane with a shoulder injury.

Tale of the tape: Browns (5-2) at Steelers (5-2), 1 p.m., CBS

• Earlier meeting: Cleveland won 27-24
• Points per game: Cleveland 19.0, Pittsburgh 21.9
• Rushing yards allowed per game: Cleveland 116.4, Pittsburgh 91.0
• Sack leader: Mason Graham, four, against T.J. Watt, 5.5
• Line: Pittsburgh by 3.5

The winner takes a one-game edge in the AFC North. Aaron Rodgers has 13 touchdown passes for Pittsburgh, and Cleveland's Deshaun Watson has seven.

Ravens (4-3) at Bills (5-1), 1 p.m., CBS. Buffalo has already put 41 points on Detroit this season, and Baltimore needs a road win to keep pace in the AFC.

Eagles (2-5) at Commanders (1-4-1), 8:20 p.m., NBC. Sunday night belongs to two NFC East teams in trouble, and the loser falls further behind in a season that is getting away.

What's next: Minnesota's defense against Detroit's offense is the best on-paper contrast of the day, and the 4:25 game decides who leads the AFC West heading into November.
