Week 17 in the National Football League is here and TSN will carry a total of 10 games as part of a loaded slate on the network this weekend.
Five games have already been played this week, and the action continues with four more games on Sunday, alongside NFL RedZone, before the week comes to a close on Monday Night Football.
Here is a game-by-game look at all of the action still to come on the TSN Network in Week 17.
Jaguars vs. Colts
Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars continue their chase for the No. 1 seed in the AFC as they take on Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts in an AFC South matchup.
Jacksonville (11-4) have been one of the hottest teams in all of football and are currently riding a six-game winning streak into Sunday’s game against the Colts.
Lawrence is currently in the midst of one of the strongest stretches of play in his career, throwing for at least 229 yards with multiple scores in each of his past five games.
The Jaguars locked up a playoff spot with the Colts’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, and now turn their attention to the AFC South title.
Indianapolis (8-7) have now lost five consecutive games coming out of their bye week, and have just a 2.0 per cent chance to make the playoffs after starting the season 8-2.
Rivers was brought out of retirement after Daniel Jones sustained a torn Achilles in Week 14, and has been solid for Indy while Anthony Richardson remains sidelined.
The future Hall of Fame threw for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the loss to San Francisco, but the Colts have fallen in both of his starts this season as the playoff continue to look more and more unlikely for the Colts.
Buccaneers vs. Dolphins on TSN+
Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to stay in the hunt for the NFC South against Quinn Ewers and the Miami Dolphins.

Tampa Bay (7-8) fell in a crucial tilt against the Carolina Panthers last week, their sixth loss in their past seven games, but the Buccaneers still control their own destiny in the division.
If the Bucs are able to win their final two games - including a rematch with the Panthers in Week 18 - Tampa Bay will win the NFC South for the fifth straight year and book their ticket to the playoffs.
“We have to win out to win the division and get into the playoffs. It’s as clear as it can be,” Mayfield said after the loss to the Panthers last week. “Too many penalties on offence. Just keep shooting ourselves in the foot and got to finish with seven in the red zone instead of three. Same story, different day.”
The Dolphins (6-9) have already been eliminated from playoff contention, but the team still made headlines last week by benching quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in favour of Quinn Ewers.
Ewers completed 66.7 per cent of his passes for 260 yards, but ultimately threw two interceptions in a 45-21 beatdown at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals.
The rookie out of Texas will once again get the start for Mike McDaniel’s team as the Dolphins continue to mull through their options under centre ahead of next season.

Giants vs. Raiders
Jaxson Dart and the New York Giants head to the Sin City for a meeting against Ashton Jeanty and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Both New York (2-13) and Las Vegas (2-13) are well out of the playoff picture at this point in the year, but Dart and Jeanty matchup for the first time in the NFL since being taken in the first round of the draft last year.
Dart struggled to the tune of just 33 passing yards and an interception in the Giants’ 16-13 loss to the Vikings last time out, but will look to get things back on track for a positive end to an impressive rookie season.
The Raiders have lost their past nine games, but came close to an improbable upset of the Texans last week.
Jeanty broke out for just his second 100-yard rushing game of the year since being take sixth overall, also finding the end zone for his fifth score of the season.
Bears vs. 49ers
Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears look to lock up the NFC North title with a win over Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football.
Chicago (11-4) have been a revelation in Ben Johnson’s first season as head coach, and have already secured their first playoff berth since 2020 thanks in part to last week’s thrilling overtime win over the Packers.
Down 16-6 with under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Williams engineered three scoring drives - including a walk-off touchdown to DJ Moore in overtime - to complete the comeback. Detroit’s loss to Pittsburgh would later officially get the Bears into the playoffs.
Johnson’s presence on the Chicago sideline has seemingly unlocked Williams’ potential as the No. 1 overall pick in 2024, and the pair now have the Bears primed for a deep playoff run.
Chicago still has a chance at the No. 1 seed in the NFC at 11.9 per cent, but will need help in each of the last two weeks while winning out the remainder of their schedule.
San Francisco (11-4) stayed hot with a fifth straight win in Week 16, a 48-27 rout of the Colts, behind the strong play of Brock Purdy.
Purdy set a career-high mark with five touchdowns, also throwing for 295 yards in the rout of the Colts.
With the win, the Niners have carved out a realistic shot to take the top spot in the conference.
San Francisco would need to take Sunday night’s tilt against the Bears, before defeating the Seattle Seahawks in a pivotal Week 18 clash for a first-round bye and home-field advantage through the playoffs.
Rams vs. Falcons
Week 17 comes to a close with Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams heading to Atlanta for a matchup against Bijan Robinson and the Falcons.
Los Angeles (11-4) blew a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter to the Seattle Seahawks last time out, before eventually losing in overtime on a walk-off two-point conversion to Eric Saubert.
The Rams would lose the top spot in both the conference and the division to Seattle, muddying the waters in the NFC even more than they already were.
Stafford threw for 457 yards and three touchdowns to strengthen his MVP candidacy down the stretch, but it wouldn’t be enough for L.A. as they fell all the way down to fifth in the conference. They now have just a 14.8 per cent chance of clinching the No. 1 seed.
Atlanta (6-9) has already been eliminated as part of another disappointing season, but have won two games in a row as they look to play spoiler on Monday night.
Robinson had another standout performance in the win over the Arizona Cardinals last week, recording 168 yards from scrimmage while finding the end zone for the ninth time this year.
Kirk Cousins has played well of late since taking over under centre with Michael Penix Jr on the shelf for the remainder of the year, and will look to keep things going as he showcases his talents to quarterback-needy teams for next season.
