Preview: Pittsburgh at Buffalo

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: New Era Field, Orchard Park, New York

The Pittsburgh Steelers are making a late push to climb back into the AFC postseason picture and go for their fourth consecutive victory when they visit the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The Bills also are trying to stay in the playoff hunt and may have to run the table as they kick off a three-game homestand against Pittsburgh.
The Steelers have bounced back from a four-game losing streak by posting three straight double-digit victories to remain in a tie with Baltimore for first place in the AFC North. The Ravens currently own the tiebreaker, but still have to pay a visit to Pittsburgh, which is 9-1 under coach Mike Tomlin in December of the past three seasons. Buffalo's only path to the postseason is via the wild card and blowing a 15-point lead in last week's 38-24 loss at Oakland left little margin for error. "We have to win this game to have any hopes of getting into the playoffs," acknowledged Bills coach Rex Ryan.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Steelers -2.5 O/U: 45.5

ABOUT THE BILLS (6-6): Quarterback Tyrod Taylor walked away from the podium during Wednesday's media conference amid questions of his future with his numbers dipping across the board, but he received staunch support from his coach. "I just think it is easy to sit back and be critical, but if you are playing without five receivers in the game ... I think it is going to affect you," Ryan said. Barring any setbacks, Taylor could have both his top two wide receivers -- Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods -- in the lineup for the first time since Week 2 to complement running back LeSean McCoy, who is coming off consecutive 100-yard games. The bigger worry for Ryan and the Bills is a defense that surrendered 29 unanswered points to the Raiders.

ABOUT THE STEELERS (7-5): With Ben Roethlisberger at the helm of a high-powered attack that features running back Le'Veon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh's offense typically garners the headlines. However, a much-maligned defense that was pierced for 113 points during the four-game skid has answered the bell during the winning streak, allowing a total of 30 points and holding the New York Giants to one touchdown until the final minute of last week's 24-14 victory. "There’s no time to slap ourselves on the back," cautioned 38-year-old linebacker James Harrison, part of a unit that has registered 13 sacks in the past three games. Tight end Ladarius Green has bolstered the offense with six catches for 110 yards and a TD last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Brown needs seven receptions to break the record by Marvin Harrison for most catches (469) during any four-year span.

2. Bills backup RB Mike Gillislee has rushed for six touchdowns in the past seven games.

3. Tomlin can become the eighth coach in history with 100 wins in their first eight seasons.

Preview: San Diego at Carolina

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina

With their chances of making a second straight trip to the Super Bowl all but gone, the Carolina Panthers aim to guarantee a non-losing record at home on Sunday as they host the San Diego Chargers. Carolina, which is 3-3 on its own field, has been nothing short of disappointing after representing the NFC in the NFL's championship game last season, losing five of its first six games to dig itself what is proving to be an inescapable hole.
After winning three of four following their bye week, the Panthers allowed 75 points in back-to-back defeats and appear to have some inner turmoil thanks to coach Ron Rivera's decision to bench star quarterback Cam Newton at the beginning of last week's 40-7 loss in Seattle for violating the team's dress code. San Diego also got off to a rough start this season, losing four of its first five contests to earn a spot in the basement of the AFC West - arguably the strongest division in the league this year. The Chargers have won consecutive games just once in 2016 - knocking off Denver and Atlanta in Weeks 6 and 7, respectively - and have alternated wins and losses since. Philip Rivers ranks in the top six in both passing yards (3,353) and touchdowns (25) but trails Jacksonville's Blake Bortles (15) by one for the most interceptions in the league.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Panthers -1.5. O/U: 49

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (5-7): Casey Hayward has been a thorn in the side of opposing quarterbacks this season as he leads the NFL with seven interceptions - including four in his last five games. The fifth-year cornerback out of Vanderbilt made a total of three picks in 35 contests with Green Bay over the previous three campaigns. Defensive end Joe Bosa is tied for third among NFL rookies with 5.5 sacks despite missing four games with a hamstring injury.

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (4-8): Newton has excelled at home of late, throwing 19 touchdown passes and running for five more scores while being intercepted just six times in his last nine contests. Jonathan Stewart has rushed for seven touchdowns in his last seven games while Ted Ginn Jr. has hauled in a scoring pass in three consecutive contests. Linebacker Luke Kuechly has missed two games while in concussion protocol but has participated in practice this week and could play against San Diego.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Chargers RB Melvin Gordon is eight rushing yards shy from 1,000 on the season while WR Tyrell Williams needs 163 receiving to reach the plateau.

2. San Diego leads the NFL with 25 turnovers.

3. Carolina is 0-3 against the AFC West this season.

Preview: Cincinnati at Cleveland

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio

The Cleveland Browns are the only remaining winless team in the NFL, but that doesn't mean they won't try to win going down the stretch. The Browns reportedly will turn back to Robert Griffin III at starting quarterback when they host the AFC North-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Griffin was the team's season-opening starter but broke a bone in his shoulder in a Week 1 loss and watched as Cody Kessler, Josh McCown, Charlie Whitehurst, Kevin Hogan and Terrelle Pryor all took snaps under center in his absence. "Yeah, it has been a while since I have been back out, but the guys around me are going to make it a very smooth transition," Griffin told reporters. "We are all out there fighting for each other. They know that not one guy can do this by himself and make a world of difference." The Bengals look like they will end a string of five straight playoff appearances but still have a chance to create some chaos in the AFC playoff picture with games remaining against Houston, Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Cincinnati ended a three-game slide and a four-game winless streak with a victory over Philadelphia last week and needs to win its final four games to avoid finishing with a losing record for the first time since 2010.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Bengals -5.5. O/U: 43

ABOUT THE BENGALS (4-7-1): Cincinnati's lackluster campaign and no playoff wins despite five straight appearances is bringing into question coach Marvin Lewis' job security, but he doesn't seem worried. "This is a joint thing, everybody has to do it together," Lewis told reporters. "Otherwise it doesn't work. They committed to me and I've committed to them. I'm going to work my tail off for them to get it right. This year, we didn't get it right yet. We've still got a chance to get it right." The Bengals got some things right on offense last week despite missing running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and leading receiver A.J. Green (hamstring) as quarterback Andy Dalton spread the ball around to nine different receivers en route to 332 passing yards in the 32-14 triumph.

ABOUT THE BROWNS (0-12): Coach Hue Jackson is a former assistant of Lewis with the Bengals and plans to be with the Browns when they turn things around. "I think the optimism and positivity and effort you still see out there on a daily basis is because everybody here knows we're working for something down the line in the future," left tackle Joe Thomas told reporters, "and it's not just going to get destroyed at the end of the season." One player that figures to have a future with the Browns is Pryor, who is up to 855 receiving yards in his breakout campaign after recording 131 in a loss to the New York Giants last week.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Green recorded 169 yards and a TD in Cincinnati's 31-17 home win over the Browns in Week 7.

2. Griffin went 12-of-26 for 190 yards with no TD passes and an interception in the Week 1 start.

3. Cleveland is trying to avoid becoming the first winless team since the 2008 Detroit Lions.

Preview: Chicago at Detroit

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Ford Field, Detroit, Michigan

Led by emerging MVP candidate Matthew Stafford, the Detroit Lions eye their fifth straight win when they host Chicago Bears on Sunday. Stafford has thrown 14 touchdown passes against just one interception in his past eight games as the Lions have seized a two-game lead in the NFC North.
The Lions dominated New Orleans 28-13 last week with their improving defense shutting down Drew Brees, the NFL's top passer in the process. Detroit, which is 5-1 at home, could take a stranglehold in the division race with a victory as it seeks to host its first home playoff game in 23 years. The Lions' defense will try to stop Matt Barkley, who helped the Bears snap their three-game losing streak with a 26-6 win over San Francisco last week. Chicago defeated Detroit 17-14 earlier in the season as Brian Hoyer threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns filling in for Jay Cutler at quarterback, but both signal-callers have long been ruled out for the season.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Lions -7.5. O/U: 43.5.

ABOUT THE BEARS (3-9): The Bears are 0-6 on the road this season and their passing game has been decimated by injuries. They added Marquess Wilson (groin) to their long list of banged-up receivers last week and have to wait another game until Alshon Jeffrey can return from his suspension for performance enhancing drugs. Barkley notched his first NFL win against the 49ers but he was mostly ineffective, throwing for just 192 yards without a touchdown in the snow. Jordan Howard picked up the slack by gaining 117 and scoring three times as his outstanding rookie season continues.

ABOUT THE LIONS (8-4): Stafford, who is sixth in the league with a 100.5 passer rating, had his worst game of the season against the Bears, throwing two of his five interceptions without a touchdown. Things should be better this time around as Detroit, which had come from behind in the fourth quarter to win all of its games this season before throttling the Saints last week. Running back Theo Riddick, who leads the team with 357 yards on the ground, missed practice time with an ankle injury but expects to play. The Lions re-signed Joique Bell as Dwayne Washington's ankle injury appears to be more serious.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Chicago ranks 30th in the league in scoring at 17 points a game and is unsure if cornerback Kyle Fuller (knee) will be able to make his season debut this week.

2. Lions K Matt Prater has made all five of his attempts of 50-plus yards this year and is a perfect 25-for-25 in his career on game-winning or game-tying field goals in the fourth quarter or overtime.

3. Lions TE Brandon Pettigrew was placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Preview: Houston at Indianapolis

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana

It's a three-team battle for the AFC North, with the Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts all tied for the top spot at 6-6. The Texans, who already own one win over the Titans, can clinch the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Colts when they host the showdown on Sunday.
Houston might be playing the worst football of the three teams at the moment, enduring a three-game losing streak due in large part to its lackluster offense. "We're still 3-0 in the division and we have a divisional game coming up this week," quarterback Brock Osweiler told reporters. "You can't worry about what's taken place in the past. All you can do is learn from it and make yourself better from it." Indianapolis' offense is back to operating in high gear with Andrew Luck out of the league's concussion protocol and is coming off a season-best 41-10 shellacking of the New York Jets on Monday. "We've always felt like we control our own destiny," Luck told reporters. "If we do something bad, there's no one to point the finger at but us. ... We know how important the next game is."

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Colts -6. O/U: 46.5

ABOUT THE TEXANS (6-6): Osweiler is 31st in the NFL among 32 qualified quarterbacks with a 74.2 rating and is last in yards per attempt at 5.77, but coach Bill O'Brien put the team's struggles on himself after a 21-13 loss at Green Bay last week. "It comes down to eight to 10 plays a game, and a lot of that has to do with coaching," O'Brien told reporters. "We have to do a better job coaching and players have to do a better job executing, but we're all in it together and we all have to do a better job." Houston's defense has carried the team most of the season but is starting to spring leaks with defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (wrist/elbow) and cornerback Johnathan Joseph (ribs) sitting out practice this week.

ABOUT THE COLTS (6-6): Luck and the offense could be asked to do even more down the stretch with the defense losing middle linebacker D'Qwell Jackson to a four-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs. Jackson, who is the signal-caller on defense and has recorded 78 tackles and a sack this season, is not eligible to return to the team until the day after the end of the regular season. "We're all disappointed," coach Chuck Pagano told reporters. "It is what it is. Moving forward, if we're fortunate enough to play good enough and win enough games, we'll get him back for the playoffs."

EXTRA POINTS

1. Colts rookie LB Antonio Morrison is expected to start in place of Jackson.

2. Houston WR Braxton Miller (shoulder) sat out practice on Wednesday and is questionable.

3. Osweiler threw for 269 yards and two TDs in a 26-23 overtime home win over Indianapolis in Week 6.

Preview: Minnesota at Jacksonville

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: EverBank Field, Jacksonville, Florida

The Minnesota Vikings not only have yielded their grip on first place in the NFC North but also have dropped out of the top six in the conference as they prepare to visiting the skidding Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Minnesota's 5-0 start to the season is a distant memory in the wake of six losses in seven games that dropped the team one game out of the final playoff slot.
The Vikings have lost their last four games by a combined 17 points and are coming off another narrow defeat, a 17-15 setback to NFC-leading Dallas on Dec 1. With three extra days of rest and coach Mike Zimmer returning after missing one game following emergency surgery for a torn retina, Minnesota cannot afford another misstep against the free-falling Jaguars. "It's always good to take a little break and kind of re-evaluate where you're at and the things you need to do," Zimmer said. "I think it was good for the players to get away a little bit." Jacksonville was a trendy preseason pick to compete for the AFC South title, but it has dropped seven consecutive games since a 17-16 win at Chicago -- a division rival of the Vikings.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Vikings -3. O/U: 39.5

ABOUT THE VIKINGS (6-6): It's no surprise that Minnesota's offense has buckled with the early-season injury to star running back Adrian Peterson, failing to score more than 16 points in five of its six defeats. Quarterback Sam Bradford is proving to be a solid game manager with 13 touchdown passes against only three interceptions, but he has failed to reach 250 yards passing in five of the past seven games. Even though starting safety Harrison Smith suffered a severe ankle injury against the Cowboys that could end his season, the Vikings will be relying on a defense that permits 17.4 points per game to stifle the Jaguars. Minnesota is among the league leaders in sacks (31) and interceptions (12).

ABOUT THE JAGUARS (2-10): Jacksonville's offense remains stuck in the mud and a big reason is the struggles of Blake Bortles, who leads the NFL in both interceptions (15) and turnovers (19). Bortles needs to find a way to connect with wideout Allen Robinson, who is averaging 51.8 yards per game following last season's 1,400-yard campaign. An already struggling ground game is dealing with injuries to Chris Ivory (hamstring) and Denard Robinson (ankle), leaving a banged-up T.J. Yeldon to carry the load against the Vikings. The Jaguars rank second defensively against the pass with an average of 195.8 yards per game, but they have a league-low three interceptions and have forced only five fumbles.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Bortles has had three interceptions returned for touchdowns in the last four games.

2. Vikings WR Stefon Diggs has an NFL-high 48 catches since Week 8.

3. Jacksonville is 0-5 this season at EverBank Field.

Minnesota

Preview: Arizona at Miami

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida

Arizona Cardinals second-year running back David Johnson has shredded the NFL in the first 12 games of the season and looks to exploit a struggling Miami Dolphins' rush defense on Sunday when the teams meet in South Florida. Johnson leads the league in touchdowns (15) and scrimmage yards (1,709) with an NFL third-best 1,005 coming on the ground heading into a tilt with the 30th-ranked rush defense (130.3 yards per game).
Should Johnson find the end zone on Sunday, he'll join Hall of Famer Gale Sayers as the only players in league history with 20 or more rushing touchdowns, five or more receiving scores and a kickoff return touchdown in their first two seasons. Johnson earned his second NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors this season after rolling up 175 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in Arizona's 31-23 win over Washington on Sunday. While Arizona is keeping a faint pulse for a playoff berth, Miami's six-game winning streak elevated it to the sixth and final postseason spot in the AFC before a 38-6 shellacking at the hands of Baltimore on Sunday. Ryan Tannehill was intercepted a career high-tying three times versus the Ravens after being picked off just once during the previous six games.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Dolphins -1. O/U: 43.5

ABOUT THE CARDINALS (5-6-1): Arizona is making its first trek to play a regular-season game in Miami since 2004. How long ago was that? Well, veteran wideout Larry Fitzgerald began his active streak (191) of catching at least one pass in that contest, which he capped with a touchdown reception with 19 seconds remaining to push the Cardinals to a 24-23 victory. Fitzgerald (NFL high-tying 88 catches) is a trusted target of veteran Carson Palmer, who recorded his 48th career 300-yard performance last week and 21st as a member of Arizona to reside one shy of Kurt Warner's franchise record.

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (7-5): Jay Ajayi announced his presence by eclipsing the 200-yard plateau in back-to-back outings and adding a 111-yard performance coming out of the team's bye before being held under 80 yards in each of his last four games. The second-year back could continue to struggle to amass yards versus Arizona, which boasts the second-ranked total defense (297.3). Jarvis Landry erupted for 11 catches last week while Miami tried in vain to rally versus Baltimore, but should be shadowed by Patrick Peterson. Linebacker Kiko Alonso (team-leading 97 tackles) missed practice on Thursday due to thumb and hamstring injuries and is unsure if he'll play on Sunday.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Johnson would tie Edgerrin James (2005) with 13 straight 100 scrimmage yard games to begin a season should the former reach triple digits on Sunday.

2. Miami DE Cameron Wake, who leads the team with 8.5 sacks, recorded a franchise-best 4.5 in his last meeting with Arizona.

3. The Cardinals are just 1-4 on the road this season after winning seven of eight away from home last season.

Preview: Washington at Philadelphia

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Washington Redskins hope to rebound after two straight losses on Sunday when they begin a favorable portion of their schedule with a road tilt against the low-flying Philadelphia Eagles. Washington will vie for its fifth straight victory and a series sweep of its NFC East rival before hosting Carolina, visiting Chicago and wrapping up the regular-season slate against the New York Giants.
Kirk Cousins followed up consecutive three-touchdown performances by completing just 21-of-37 passes in a 31-23 loss to Arizona last week, putting the Redskins on the outside of the playoff picture. The 28-year-old Cousins would welcome a repeat of last season's late surge, as he tossed 12 touchdown passes against one interception to help Washington secure the division title. While Dallas has a chance to wrap up division laurels on Sunday, the Redskins could improve their chances toward a wild-card berth against a Philadelphia club that has dropped seven of nine after a 3-0 start. Rookie Carson Wentz has endured pronounced growing pains, tossing 10 interceptions in his last seven games - including three in a 32-14 loss to Cincinnati.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Redskins -1. O/U: 46.5

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (6-5-1): Washington boasts the NFL's second-ranked offense (418.6 yards per game) and could get a boost as Jordan Reed told reporters he feels confident he'll play on Sunday after sitting out last week's tilt with a Grade 3 separation of the AC joint in his left shoulder. Coach Jay Gruden wasn't exactly on board with his stud tight end's health report, saying he has "absolutely no idea" if Reed will play and that it could come down to Saturday afternoon or game time before a decision is made. Reed ripped the Eagles for nine catches, 129 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 16 win last season, but sat out the first encounter this season due to injury.

ABOUT THE EAGLES (5-7): Philadelphia's offense has lacked sizzle of late but could receive a jolt with the expected returns of wideout Jordan Matthews (team-leading 57 receptions) and running back Ryan Mathews (seven rushing TDs). The former was able to practice on Thursday after missing his first game - college or pro - last week against the Bengals while the latter has been sidelined several weeks with an MCL sprain. A lack of potent running game has forced Wentz to average 45 pass attempts over his last six games - including 60 last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Washington Pro Bowl LT Trent Williams will be back on the field Sunday after serving a league-imposed four-game suspension.

2. Philadelphia has surrendered an average of 28 points during its three-game losing skid.

3. Redskins rookie RB Robert Kelley has rushed for a total of 100 yards in his last two games after totaling 291 with four touchdowns in his previous three.

  1. Redskins are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.

Preview: Denver at Tennessee

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee

With their quarterback situation still up in the air, the Denver Broncos attempt to keep alive their hopes for a sixth consecutive division title when they visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Denver entered Week 14 two games out of first place in the AFC West but can draw within one with a victory thanks to Oakland's loss on Thursday to Kansas City, which claimed the top spot by virtue of sweeping the season series with the Raiders.
However, the Broncos still are unsure who will start under center on Sunday as Trevor Siemian, who missed last week's win over Jacksonville due to a foot injury, has been limited in practice this week. Tennessee also has its sights set on a division crown as it sits in a three-way tie atop the AFC South with Houston and Indianapolis. The Titans' quest for their first AFC South title since 2008 could take a hit if their recent trend continues, as the team has alternated wins and losses over the last seven weeks and is in line for a setback. Tennessee, which is coming off its bye week, will visit the Chiefs and woeful Jaguars before finishing the regular season at home against the Texans.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Titans -1. O/U: 43.5

ABOUT THE BRONCOS (8-4): If Siemian is unable to play, Paxton Lynch will make his second straight start Sunday. The 22-year-old rookie out of Memphis didn't exactly light it up against Jacksonville last week, completing 12-of-24 passes for 104 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Linebacker Von Miller leads the league with 12.5 sacks and needs 2.5 against Tennessee to tie Bruce Smith as the third-fastest to reach 75 in his career by doing so in his 85th game.

ABOUT THE TITANS (6-6): DeMarco Murray, who is second in the league with 1,043 rushing yards, hopes to have a big game against Denver after using the bye week to heal his sore toe. "It's feeling a lot better," he told the team's website on Thursday. "It's good to get two practices in a row. (The bye) helped a lot. I think it helped a lot of people late in the season." Defensive lineman Jurrell Casey, who hasn't seen action since suffering a sprained foot on Nov. 27, did not practice Wednesday or Thursday but expects to play against the Broncos.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Titans QB Marcus Mariota has thrown multiple touchdown passes in eight consecutive games.

2. Denver claimed Justin Forsett off waivers from Detroit and placed fellow RB Kapri Bibbs on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain.

3. Tennessee placed Kevin Dodd (foot) on injured reserve and signed fellow LB Justin Staples from the practice squad.

Preview: N.Y. Jets at San Francisco

When: 4:05 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, California

Bryce Petty will make his second career start as the New York Jets try to break a four-game losing streak when they visit San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Colin Kaepernick will also be back under center for the 49ers after getting benched for last week's historically poor performance as San Francisco lost for the 11th straight time.
Petty, who threw a touchdown pass and had two interceptions in relief of Ryan Fitzpatrick last week, has been handed the reins for the final four games of the regular season. New York was embarrassed by Indianapolis 41-10 on Monday night, allowing its most points in a game since Week 8 of 2014. "I thought for the first time this year, we got our (butt) handed to us," New York coach Todd Bowles said. Kaepernick completed just 1-of-5 passes for four yards in a 26-6 loss at a snowy Chicago last week for San Francisco, which ranks last in the NFL, allowing 30.8 points a game.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: 49ers -2.5. O/U: 43.5

ABOUT THE JETS (3-9): Following his benching after completing 5-of-12 passes for 81 yards, an interception and a 30.2 rating, it seems like Fitzpatrick has played his last game for the Jets. Now, Bowles looks to save his job as New York, which still ranks fourth in the NFL defending the rush (90.3 yards a game), appeared to have quit defensively in last week's nationally televised game. Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes and the Colts ran up 421 yards before taking their foot off the gas early in the second half. New York is also battling a slew of injuries as center Nick Mangold is gone for the season, tackle Breno Giacomini and defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson missed practice time during the week and safety Calvin Pryor remains questionable with a concussion.

ABOUT THE 49ERS (1-11): Kaepernick, who began the season on the bench, is 0-8 since replacing Blaine Gabbert and didn't complete a pass until midway through the second quarter of last week's disaster. But, coach Chip Kelly, whose father died earlier in the week, opted to give Kaepernick the starting job again as the 49ers, like the Jets, ponder their future plans at quarterback. After recovering from a shoulder injury, running back Carlos Hyde has been solid in averaging more than 4.5 yards per carry in each of the past three games. Hyde leads the NFL's fourth-ranked rushing offense with 686 yards.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Jets RB Matt Forte (784 yards rushing, 8 total touchdowns) could be in for a big workday against the 49ers, who rank last in the NFL defending the rush allowing 169.3 yards a game.

2. The Jets are 31st in the NFL with a minus-15 turnover mark fueled by 14 interceptions by Fitzpatrick.

3. San Francisco has won seven of the past eight games in the series, including 34-0 in their last meeting in 2012.

Preview: New Orleans at Tampa Bay

When: 4:25 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have surged to the top of the NFC South standings, but they need to solve a recent nemesis to stay there. The Buccaneers aim for their fifth straight victory Sunday as they host the New Orleans Saints, who have won eight of the last nine meetings between the division rivals.
The Buccaneers are tied with Atlanta atop the division at 7-5, but New Orleans is just two games back and has three head-to-head meetings with the top two teams over the final four weeks of the season. "This is a big game for both teams because of the way the scheduling falls, where New Orleans plays us twice and Atlanta once in the last (four) weeks," Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter told reporters. "We have three division games in the last four weeks, so that makes this game – the way our division is so tight right now – these division games are huge.” While Tampa Bay has been surging, the Saints have been slipping. New Orleans has lost three of its last four games and is coming off a 28-13 home loss to Detroit last week.

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Buccaneers -2.5. O/U: 51.5

ABOUT THE SAINTS (5-7): New Orleans remains one of the league’s most prolific offensive teams, but the running attack that had come to life in recent weeks dropped off in the loss to Detroit. Drew Brees continues to put up huge passing numbers but threw three interceptions and no touchdowns against the Lions. The Saints’ 31st-ranked pass defense had put together three straight solid efforts before being burned for 337 yards by Matthew Stafford and the Lions, although New Orleans continues to play tough against the run.

ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS (7-5): Tampa Bay has turned around its season with a balanced offense and an opportunistic defense that has forced 11 turnovers during the four-game winning streak. The defense produced a touchdown and a game-saving interception in the end zone to preserve last week’s 28-21 win at San Diego. Quarterback Jameis Winston is enjoying a strong sophomore campaign but is running out of weapons as injuries have decimated his receiving corps and will need to rely heavily on star receiver Mike Evans and running back Doug Martin.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Brees has averaged 335 passing yards in his last five games at Tampa Bay.

2. Martin has scored a rushing touchdown in four of his last five home games and is averaging 102 scrimmage yards in his last five against the Saints.

3. Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe has recorded a sack in four straight games and has 17 tackles and one sack in his last two meetings with Tampa Bay.

  1. Saints are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss.

Preview: Seattle at Green Bay

When: 4:25 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin

The Green Bay Packers revived their fading playoff hopes with back-to-back wins, but they'll be stepping up in class when the Seattle Seahawks pay a visit to Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon. Green Bay has rebounded from a horrendous four-game losing streak in which it surrendered 153 points to move within one game of the sixth and final playoff berth in the NFC.
Green Bay's defense has bounced back from the disastrous four-game skid, allowing 13 points apiece in wins over Philadelphia and Houston to climb back into postseason contention. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers admitted Sunday's game "is a little bigger game with the opponent. As every game progresses, there's more on the line of us to play for. So I'm confident in the guys that we're up to the challenge," he said. Seattle has won four of five and can clinch the NFC West title with a win and a loss by Arizona at Miami. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is undaunted by the possibility of nasty weather conditions at Lambeau, saying, "I'm hoping it's kind of a downpour of snow. That would be great."

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Packers +3. O/U: 45.5

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (8-3-1): Seattle has failed to score a touchdown in three of its road losses this season, including a 14-5 defeat at Tampa Bay in Week 12, but it rebounded with a season-high point total in a 40-7 thrashing of Carolina last week. Running back Thomas Rawls, in his third game back since missing two months with a broken leg, put a jolt in the ground game by rushing for 106 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only 15 carries. Another second-year player, wide receiver Tyler Lockett, broke off a 75-yard scoring run last week while adding five catches on 63 yards to provide a deep threat. Safety Earl Thomas suffered a broken leg last week, but the Seahawks are permitting a league-low 16.2 yards per game.

ABOUT THE PACKERS (6-6): Green Bay has one of the league's top run defenses at 92.9 yards per game, but it is vulnerable through the air (254.3) yards and is surrendering nine more points per game than Seattle at 25.2. A sagging ground game will feature a familiar face in Christine Michael, who was claimed off waivers by the Packers after he was cut loose by the Seahawks earlier this season. Despite the lack of a rushing attack, Rodgers has raised his level of play by throwing for seven touchdowns and zero interceptions over the past three games while registering a passer rating of at least 108.9 in all three. No. 1 wideout Jordy Nelson, who missed the 2015 season with a torn ACL, hauled in his 10th touchdown reception in last week's win over Houston.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Wilson has six touchdowns and one interception in three career matchups versus the Packers.

2. Nelson has 42 receptions and five TDs in his last six games.

3. Seattle has not won at Green Bay since November 1999.

Preview: Atlanta at Los Angeles

When: 4:25 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California

The Atlanta Falcons have had their chances to take control of the NFC South race, and with all four remaining games against teams with losing records, another opportunity lies ahead. The Falcons hope to bolster their division title hopes when they travel to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
Atlanta let one get away in a 29-28 loss to Kansas City last week, slipping into a first-place tie with Tampa Bay at 7-5. Although the Falcons have a favorable schedule down the stretch, their final two games are against division rivals, which could loom large in the case of a tie. “You wouldn’t expect it any other way,” Atlanta coach Dan Quinn told reporters. “This league, we battle. But knowing that we control what we can – that’s a way better feeling than, ‘If this happens, then this happens.’ So we’ll take that on ourselves." The Rams have lost three straight to fade from the playoff picture and are coming off a 26-10 defeat at New England last week in which they were outgained 402-162.

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Falcons -5 O/U: 45


ABOUT THE FALCONS (7-5): Atlanta has the league’s top scoring offense, as quarterback Matt Ryan and receiver Julio Jones are having huge years. Ryan ranks second in the league in passing (3,813 yards) and third in touchdown tosses (27) while Jones leads the league in receiving yards (1,253). The Falcons also have the league’s worst pass defense, though, and have been terrible in the red zone - allowing touchdowns on 76.2 percent of drives inside the 20.

ABOUT THE RAMS (4-8): Los Angeles’ offense ranks last in the league, and things have not improved since No. 1 overall draft pick Jared Goff took over at quarterback. After putting up respectable numbers in a loss to New Orleans two weeks ago, Goff went 14-of-32 for just 161 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions against the Patriots. The defense that carried the Rams early in the season has been exposed in the last two games, allowing a season-high 555 yards versus the Saints before giving up 402 last week.

EXTRA POINTS

Preview: Dallas at N.Y. Giants

When: 8:30 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

The Dallas Cowboys can celebrate numerous victories on Sunday night should they exit MetLife Stadium with a win over the New York Giants. The Cowboys can avenge a season-opening loss to their NFC East rival, extend their gaudy winning streak to 12 games and clinch the NFC East title - and possibly a first-round bye and home-field advantage.
Rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott have distinguished themselves since the former completed just 25 of 45 passes for 227 yards and the latter labeled his season-low 51-yard, 20-carry performance as "average" in a 20-19 loss to the Giants on Sept. 11. "It does seem like it was forever ago just because we've been through so much more as a team since then and we've grown so much," said Elliott, who tops the league in rushing yards (1,285) and is second in scrimmage yards (1,607). The Giants kept Elliott to a season-low 2.6 yards per carry in that tilt, but saw Le'Veon Bell become the first rusher to reach triple digits against them on Sunday following a 118-yard performance in a 24-14 setback to Pittsburgh. Odell Beckham Jr. did not snag any of Eli Manning's three touchdown passes in the opener, but has found the end zone eight times in his last eight outings.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Cowboys -3.5. O/U: 47.5

ABOUT THE COWBOYS (11-1): Dez Bryant limped out of the gate with just one catch for eight yards in the first meeting with the Giants, but the mercurial wideout has gained chemistry with Prescott and reeled in four touchdowns in his last four contests. Veteran tight end Jason Witten acquitted himself well in the opener with nine receptions for 66 yards, but saw his franchise-record games streak with a catch end at 130 in a 17-15 victory over Minnesota last week. Witten will look to exploit a Giants defense that has struggled versus tight ends this season, with the club allowing 63 receptions and 793 yards with three touchdowns.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (8-4): Containing Elliott became an even harder chore for New York after news broke that veteran Jason Pierre-Paul will be sidelined at least six weeks following sports hernia surgery. Pierre-Paul registered six tackles and two quarterback hurries in the first meeting with Dallas, although the Giants were unable to register a sack on Prescott. Fellow defensive end Olivier Vernon (team-leading eight sacks) has collected one in six straight and a multiple total in three consecutive contests. Romeo Okwara, Owa Odighizuwa and Kerry Wynn are expected to take on larger roles in Pierre-Paul's absence for the Giants.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Dallas can clinch a first-round bye with a win and a loss or tie by Detroit or a loss by Seattle. The Cowboys can clinch home-field advantage through the playoffs with a win plus losses by both the Lions and Seahawks.

2. New York rookie WR rookie Sterling Shepard has recorded a touchdown reception in four of his last five contests.

3. Dallas DE DeMarcus Lawrence missed practice on Thursday with a sore back, leaving his availability in jeopardy for Sunday's game.

The Broncos currently own the 2nd Wild Card spot in the AFC, but they also own the hardest remaining strength of schedule in the NFL. After Sunday's game in Tennessee, they take on the 3 teams that currently have the best records in the AFC. Despite this being the "easiest" game on the Broncos' remaining schedule, NFL FPI gives the Titans a 52 percent chance of winning.
