Week 15 has a packed Sunday afternoon slate with 13 games headlined by an AFC East battle between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots in the early window.
Buffalo (9-4) visits New England (11-2), looking to stay alive in the race for the AFC East title. The last time a team other than the Bills won the AFC East was in 2019, when the Patriots won the division. New England can clinch the division with a win over Buffalo, as it would take a three-game lead with three games remaining, and it would have swept the season series with the Bills. A loss for the Bills in Week 15 puts them in jeopardy of falling out of sixth place in the conference behind Houston (8-5) and Indianapolis (8-5).

Other big Sunday afternoon matchups include the Green Bay Packers visiting the Denver Broncos, and the Indianapolis Colts taking on the Seattle Seahawks. Quarterback Philip Rivers, 44, is set to make his first start since the 2020 NFL season in relief of Daniel Jones, who suffered a ruptured Achilles in Week 14, ending his season.
Fantasy managers out there, beware! The Sunday slate is filled with winter weather. The coldest game of the week is expected to be Bears-Browns in Chicago, where fans can expect a wind chill of -19 and winds up to 22 mph. Check out the full Week 15 NFL weather report here.

The Philadelphia Eagles hold a 31-0 lead over the Las Vegas Raiders with just under 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter … and apparently, the Eagles have seen enough from their starters, sending Jalen Hurts to the bench in favor of backup Tanner McKee, who will presumably finish out Sunday’s game.
Hurts is currently the QB3 in Yahoo Fantasy leagues as it stands, having had a very efficient outing going 12-of-15 passing for 175 yards, 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He added another 39 yards on the ground and has a 154.9 NFL passer rating.

Trevor Lawrence is putting on a show at home against the Jets with his fourth touchdown of the day, and fifth overall. This time, he connects with running back Travis Etienne for the second time today. Lawrence has 259 passing yards and four touchdown passes, along with one rushing TD.

Thus far New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has just one carry through almost 2.5 quarters of this game against the Commanders. In his last three games, Singletary has rushed at least 12 times. At this rate, it doesn’t seem like he’ll nearly approach that carry total, but there is still a lot of football left to be played.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook had a receiving touchdown in the first half; now he has a rushing touchdown. Cook has 67 scrimmage yards. The Patriots lead the Bills 24-21 in the third quarter.

It’s another touchdown for the Philadelphia Eagles, as tight end Dallas Goedert scores a four-yard receiving touchdown to bring their lead to 24 points with a successful PAT from Jake Elliott. It’s Goedert’s second score of the game, following up a four-yard receiving touchdown on Philly’s opening drive.
Hurts is off to a hot start in Week 15, going 11-of-14 passing for 148 yards, 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions with a 150.3 NFL passer rating. The Eagles lead the Raiders 24-0.
