Who plays on 'Thursday Night Football' tonight? Time, TV channel, schedule, live stream for NFL Week 7 game

Two of the top three picks from the 2024 NFL Draft are set to face off in an exciting matchup on "Thursday Night Football."

Caleb Williams was the top pick in a quarterback-heavy draft that year and has since led the Chicago Bears to the playoffs and an NFL North title. After missing three games with an injury earlier this season, Williams returned to action last week and helped the offense dominate, as he continues to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

Williams and the Bears will play host to the New England Patriots and Drake Maye, who went No. 3 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Maye, who brought the Patriots to the Super Bowl last year, started slow but has picked it up lately with at least three touchdowns in each of his last three games.

With both teams seemingly hitting their stride, this matchup promises to be an intriguing contest between two Super Bowl contenders.
