The NFL has officially crossed into December, and with just one month left to sort out crowded standings and conference and divisional chaos, Week 14 delivers a slate packed with postseason implications. The action kicks off Thursday night as the Lions welcome the Cowboys for the second-straight Thursday-after-Thanksgiving meeting between Thanksgiving’s traditional hosts, where Detroit looks to recover from another stumble against the rival Packers while the Cowboys attempt to extend their three-game heater that includes statement wins over Philadelphia and Kansas City. Down south, the Jaguars and Colts square off in a pivotal AFC South tilt that could define who controls the division through the stretch, and the AFC North will feature a similar game between their top two teams with the Steelers marching in seeking to knock the Ravens from atop the division. Up in snowy Buffalo, Joe Burrow and the Bengals look to get a win streak going following a massive road win in Baltimore on Thanksgiving during Burrow’s return, clashing with Josh Allen’s Bills in a quarterback showcase with major Wild Card stakes. In the late afternoon swing, the NFC North spotlight shifts to the league’s Frozen Tundra, where Ben Johnson gets his first crack at the Packers as the Bears’ head coach in a rivalry renewal dripping with playoff tension and the division’s top spot on the line. Sunday night offers a rematch of last season’s Divisional Round as Houston heads to Arrowhead hoping to flip the script on a slumping Chiefs squad, and the weekend closes Monday in LA, where the Chargers host the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles in a cross-conference battle with desperation on one sideline and title ambitions on the other. With the final month of the regular season finally here, here’s a full breakdown of every matchup you’ll want circled entering Week 14 and the start of the final stretch towards the postseason:
