However, the NFL wants to take a chance with the hurricane slowly losing power. The Sunday Night Football game will be one of the biggest of the 2022-23 season. With both teams coming from a loss, the onus will be high on them to change the trajectory of their performance so far. The match will also be a meetup between two of the greatest quarterbacks in Gridiron history.
