All hands on deck.
The NFL's bye weeks have been exhausted as the 2025 season rolls into Week 15 − which is chock full of gripping matchups ... even if Thursday night's NFC South pairing of the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers isn't one of them.
Sunday gets started with the New England Patriots attempting to sweep the Buffalo Bills, which would clinch the Pats' first AFC East title in six years. Conversely, as they host the Los Angeles Chargers, the Kansas City Chiefs will not only be fighting for their playoff lives but trying to avoid elimination this weekend − though losing to the Bolts wouldn't finish them outright.
The late afternoon window looks even better. The Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos will face off in a potential Super Bowl 60 preview, both teams currently scrapping for their respective conference's No. 1 seed. As they attempt to break back into the projected playoff field, the Detroit Lions will attempt to knock off the NFC-leading Los Angeles Rams on the road. (The Rams and Broncos can both clinch postseason spots with wins.) And while the Seattle Seahawks will be prohibitive favorites to beat the Indianapolis Colts, their game could mark the return of newly signed Colts QB Philip Rivers after a five-year hiatus.
