Week 15 has a packed Sunday afternoon window with five games, headlined by an NFC showdown with plenty of playoff implications featuring the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams.
The Lions (8-5) and Rams (10-3) meet in Week 15, with Detroit looking to stay alive in the NFC playoff picture, currently sitting in eighth place in the conference. Los Angeles is holding onto the No. 1 seed by a slim margin over Green Bay (9-3-1), so this game is just as big for them. The Rams are leading two close races, one at the top of the conference and one for the NFC West title. The Lions are riding a two-game winning streak against the Rams.

The San Francisco 49ers just caught a massive break in the fourth quarter, as Jeffery Simmons — the Titans’ touchdown hero on the previous drive — is penalized for unnecessary roughness on the field goal, giving the Niners a fresh set of downs.
San Francisco was unable to capitalize on the opportunity, however, and ended up settling for a field goal as Eddy Piñero is good from 37 yards to extend the lead.
The 49ers are now up 34-17 over the Titans with just over nine minutes to go.

The Saints are hanging around and have tied it after this Tyler Shough to Chris Olave touchdown. It’s 17-17 with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation.

Look out world, here Cam Ward comes! He’s got his second consecutive multi-touchdown game in Week 15. And it was … to a big man?!
That’s right — Ward found Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons over the middle for a one-yard touchdown, and with the PAT, Tennessee brings it within 14 with the entire fourth quarter remaining.
Incredibly, that’s actually not Simmons’ first career receiving touchdown, having also snagged a goal-line touchdown on offense back in 2023 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The San Francisco 49ers continue to pile on the Tennessee Titans in Week 15, as Brock Purdy finds All-Pro tight end George Kittle for his third passing touchdown of the day.
It’s been an efficient outing for Purdy, going 17-of-22 passing for 235 yards and three touchdowns so far against the Titans, with an NFL passer rating of 150.6.
That marks Purdy’s second game of the year with three-plus passing touchdowns, having entered this matchup with a 9-7 TD-INT ratio as he’s dealt with some health issues this year. Meanwhile, it’s the sixth touchdown of the year for Kittle, who’s also missed time this year, having dealt with a hamstring injury early in the season that landed him on injured reserve.

Set up with a nice catch and run from Ricky Pearsall, Brock Purdy found WR Jauan Jennings for the pair’s second touchdown of the day — a 13-yard grab. With the PAT, the 49ers extend their lead, now up 24-10 over the Tennessee Titans.
Jennings only has two targets of the day, but he’s done the most of them, turning both of them into touchdowns. That marks Jennings’ sixth receiving touchdown in as many games.
