Hall of Famer
It's Week 15 of the Regular Season and we got some pivotal matchups and some playoff clinching scenarios for the first time this season. Oh, Philip Rivers has returned to the NFL at age 44!
Thursday Night Football
Falcons @ Buccaneers: The Bucs and Panthers both sit at 7-6 heading into this week. The Bucs look to get back on track in the NFC South following a loss to the Saints. It will help that they are getting some offensive firepower back in Mike Evans and for the home stretch, along with Jalen McMillan.
Sunday 1PM Early Games
Patriots @ Bills: The Bills have won 5 straight AFC East Division Titles.... the Patriots can snap that streak on Sunday as a win clinched their first AFC East Title since 2019. A win also clinches a playoff spot for New England for the first time since 2021.
Browns @ Bears: The Bears are looking for their 10th win on season, and first double-digit win season since 2018. A huge turnaround under Ben Johnson has the Bears in the very tight NFC North race. Could Kevin Stefanski be out of a job with a loss? Shedeur looked good last week but a very questionable call to take him out of the game on a 2 point conversion could be a costly one if they lose this week.
Bengals @ Ravens: Following back to back losses in the Division, the Ravens are desperate coming into Cincinnati to save their AFC North Title hopes. Can Baltimore split the series with Cincinnati and keep hope alive for another week? Or will Baltimore allow Cincinnati to play spoiler once again?
Chargers @ Chiefs: The Chargers set the tone for what has been a shocking downfall of the Kansas City Chiefs with a week one win over them. Chargers can potentially deal the final blow with a win along with wins from Buffalo, Jaguars, and Houston that would do the impossible. The Chiefs can be ELIMINATED from playoff contention if all those happen!
Jets @ Jaguars: Jacksonville sits atop the AFC South heading into Week 15.... for now. A red hot Houston team led by it's defense is quickly making the AFC South a three team race. Jags look to avoid the trap game here and stay atop the AFC South.
Cardinals @ Texans: Houston is coming into this one ready to keep the pressure on Jacksonville and claim the top spot in the AFC South.
Commanders @ Giants:
Raiders @ Eagles:
Sunday 4PM Late Games
Panthers @ Saints: The Panthers look to avoid the same trap game that got Tampa last week against the Saints.
Lions @ Rams: The Matthew Stafford Bowl, as the Lions head to Los Angeles looking to stay in the tight battle for the NFC North. This will have major implications in the Wild Card battle as well for Detroit. Can Stafford keep his potential MVP season going for the Rams?
Packers @ Broncos: The Denver Broncos can clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Green Bay Packers in what could be a Super Bowl preview.
Titans @ 49ers:
Colts @ Seahawks: Philip Rivers has returned to the NFL as the Colts are desperate to save their season following Daniel Jones' injury. Rivers hasn't played since 2020 and would be giving up his Hall of Fame eligibility by starting on Sunday. Seattle needs a win to keep pace with the Rams who are also 10-3.
Sunday Night Football
Vikings @ Cowboys: Despite their loss to Detroit last Thursday, the Cowboys find themselves still in the hunt for the NFC East Title after the Eagles loss to the Chargers. At 6-6-1, the Cowboys can keep the pressure on Philly with a huge Sunday Night win over Minnesota who just shutout Washington last week.
Monday Night Football
Dolphins @ Steelers: The Steelers did a lot to help their AFC North Title hopes with a win over Baltimore but don't overlook the Dolphins. The Dolphins find themselves on a 4 game win streak thanks to their defensive turnaround allowing just 13.3 points per game. Will Miami make it 5 in a row on Monday Night?
