There are just three weeks remaining in the National Football League’s 2025 regular season calendar, and TSN has you covered with all of the action coming down the stretch.
TSN will carry a total of eight games in a jam-packed Week 16, including a crucial NFC West clash on Thursday Night Football, a pair of divisional games in a doubleheader on Saturday, and NFL RedZone once again taking centre stage Sunday afternoon on TSN+.
Here is a game-by-game look at all of the remaining action on TSN in Week 16.
Eagles vs. Commanders
A doubleheader gets underway on Saturday with Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles looking to punch their ticket to the playoffs with a win against the Washington Commanders.
Philadelphia (9-5) put an end to a three-game skid last week in a 31-0 drubbing of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Hurts rebounded nicely after a five-turnover performance in Week 14, throwing for 175 yards with three touchdowns.
“I wouldn’t want another quarterback, to be honest,” linebacker Nakobe Dean said after the game. “You see a guy that takes so much criticism in every aspect. Since he’s been in the league, it seems like he’s on top of the mountain one day in the public eye and in the next, they’re trying to bury him. And you just see a guy that comes in with the same resolve, the same mindset each week to work and get better.
“To me, he can’t do no wrong in my eyes. I don’t care what nobody says.”
The Eagles defence allowed just 75 total yards in the win over Las Vegas, while Saquon Barkley found the end zone for the second consecutive week, a feat he hadn’t accomplished since the first two games of the season.
“I feel like we got caught up in stuff that doesn’t matter,” Barkley said after the get-right game for the Eagles. “The only thing that matters is winning football.”
Philadelphia, the reigning Super Bowl champions, can clinch the NFC East crown for the second straight year with either a win over the Commanders, or a Dallas Cowboys loss on Sunday.
The Commanders (4-10) come into the matchup after snapping an eight-game losing streak with a 29-21 win over the New York Giants last week.
Marcus Mariota had 211 yards with a touchdown in the victory, also adding 43 yards on the ground.
“There’s nothing like a winning locker room,” Mariota said. “It’s hard to go two months without winning a football game.”
Following the win, it was announced that the 11-year pro will be Washington’s starter for the remainder of the season after star quarterback Jayden Daniels was ruled out for the final three games with an elbow injury.
The Commanders have already been eliminated from playoff contention, but will look to play spoiler against their division rival Eagles on Saturday.
Packers vs. Bears
The action continues into the evening Saturday with Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers heading to the Solider Field for an NFC North meeting with Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.
The Packers (9-4-1) emerged victorious when these teams faced off in Week 14, and will now try for the same result this time around with the top spot in the division hanging in the balance.
Green Bay fell 34-26 to the Denver Broncos last week, but the injury to Micah Parsons loomed largest after the final whistle blew.
Parsons suffered a torn ACL in the loss and will now miss the remainder of the season, just months removed from a blockbuster trade away from Dallas.
Christian Watson, Josh Whyle, and Zach Tom were also injured for Green Bay in the loss.
“I told the guys, ‘Nobody is going to feel sorry for us,’” LaFleur said on his team’s recent string of injuries. “Everybody’s going to have to elevate their play.”
The Bears (10-4) rebounded from the tough loss against the Packers in Week 14 with a dominant showing in a 31-3 win over the Cleveland Browns last Sunday.
Williams played a clean game, throwing for 242 yards and two touchdowns – both to DJ Moore - to lead the Bears to victory, vaulting the team to the top spot in the division.
Either the Packers and Bears could lock up a spot in the playoffs in Week 16, needing both a win and a Detroit Lions loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Buccaneers vs. Panthers
The action continues into Sunday, where Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hit the road for a crucial NFC South matchup against Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers.
Tampa Bay (7-7) appeared to be well on their way to their fifth consecutive division title just a couple weeks ago before five losses in six games have put their season in jeopardy.
The Bucs gave up 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter in an ugly 29-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons last week as their late-season free fall continued for another game.
Mayfield finished the game with 277 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw a critical interception in the fourth quarter that led to the Falcons getting into the end zone on the ensuing drive.
“This one is going haunt me. It falls on my shoulders,” said Mayfield. “It’s not the defence’s fault. It’s my fault.”
Despite the loss, the Buccaneers head into Week 16 in a tie for the division after Carolina fell to the New Orleans Saints in a tight 20-17 contest last time out.
The Panthers (7-7) occupied the top spot in the South for two days following Tampa Bay’s loss on Thursday Night Football last week, before eventually squandering their opportunity to seize control of the division.
Young was outshined by Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough in the loss, and the Panthers offence was held in check while New Orleans rallied late to sweep the season series against Carolina.
The Panthers and Buccaneers are set to face off twice in three weeks to close out the regular season, but the winner of Week 16’s game will undoubtedly have the advantage in the NFC South as Carolina looks to snap a seven-year postseason drought.
Chiefs vs. Titans on TSN+
Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs head to Nashville for a matchup against Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans.
Subscribe to TSN+ to watch the Chiefs take on the Titans LIVE Sunday at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ run of dominance in the AFC is officially over.
The Chiefs (6-8) were officially eliminated from playoff contention last week in a 16-13 loss to the Las Angeles Chargers.
After seven consecutive trips to the conference championship, five appearances in the Super Bowl, and three titles, the Chiefs will miss the playoffs for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era.
To make matters worse, Mahomes suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the late stages of the contest.
Gardner Minshew came into the game in relief of Mahomes, eventually throwing a late interception to seal the Chiefs’ fate this season.
Minshew figures to start against Tennessee in Week 16, and could be auditioning for his spot on the team next year with Mahomes expected to miss the start of the season while recovering from surgery to repair his torn ACL.
The Titans (2-12) dropped a 37-24 contest against the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.
Tennessee has been out of playoff contention for weeks now, but the recent play of first overall pick Cam Ward has been a rare positive in what has shaped up to be a dismal season in Music City.
After failing to throw for multiple scores in each of his first 12 NFL starts, Ward has now eclipsed the two-touchdown mark in each of his past two games while also throwing just one interception.
The Miami product also posted the highest quarterback rating of his young career (101.2) on Sunday as he continues to look more comfortable against NFL defences in the final few games of his rookie campaign.
Ward will look to build on a promising end to the year against a Chiefs defence that doesn’t have much to play for with their playoff hopes extinguished and their franchise quarterback on the shelf for the foreseeable future.

Jaguars vs. Broncos
Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars head to Mile High for a meeting against Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos.
The Jaguars (10-4) won their fifth straight game last week behind the strong play of Lawrence, who accounted for six total touchdowns (five passing, one rushing) while totaling 330 yards through the air.
Jacksonville now has a 98 per cent chance of a playoff berth, and a 57 per cent chance to win the division for just the third time in franchise history.
The Jags have the second-highest odds to earn a first-round bye in the AFC at 11 per cent, trailing only the Broncos, and Sunday’s matchup in Denver could improve those chances even more with a victory.
Denver (12-2) is riding a hot streak of their own, now winners of their past 11 games following their 34-26 win over the Packers last time out.
Nix threw for 302 yards with four touchdowns in the statement win over Green Bay, as the Broncos became the first team in the AFC to clinch their spot in the playoffs.
A win over the Jaguars would go a long way to sewing up the AFC’s No. 1 seed, and the wild card round bye that comes with it, as two of the hottest teams in all of football go at it on Sunday evening.
Patriots vs. Ravens
Drake Maye and the New England Patriots take on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens with both teams looking to solidify their cases for division titles.
New England (11-3) had their 10-game winning streak snapped last time out in a 35-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The Patriots squandered their chance to sweep the season series against Buffalo and take a stranglehold atop the AFC East, but Mike Vrabel’s team still has a 65 per cent chance to win the division with three games to go.
Maye had ran for two scores in the first quarter to help the Pats to a 21-0 lead early, but failed to get much going in the second half as New England would go onto be outscored 28-7 in the final two quarters.
Week 15 marked just the second time all season that Maye did not record a passing touchdown, with the last time also coming against the Bills in Week 5.
The Patriots defence struggled to contain Josh Allen in the second half, surrendering three passing touchdowns to the reigning MVP.
New England will have to contend with another elite quarterback in Week 16, as Jackson has begun to find his stride following a few lacklustre performances in his return from injury.
Jackson, a two-time MVP in his own right, recorded his first multi-touchdown effort in six weeks during the Ravens’ 24-0 win over the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday, and now looks to build off of that performance ahead of a primetime matchup against New England.
Baltimore (7-7) got back to .500 on the year and now trail the Steelers by one game in the AFC North with three weeks to go.
The Ravens currently have a 38 per cent chance for a division title, as well as a playoff berth, but it appears things will likely come down to Week 18’s matchup against Pittsburgh if Baltimore can pull off the upset on Sunday Night Football.
49ers vs. Colts
Week 16 in the NFL comes to a close with Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers taking on Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football.
San Francisco (10-4) has overcome a plethora of injuries to key players on their defence to enter Week 16 on the cusp of a return to the postseason.
The 49ers need either a win over the Colts, or a Detroit Lions loss, to lock up their spot in the playoffs.
Purdy and the Niners took care of business last week with a 37-24 win over the Titans last week to stay within one game of the Rams and Seahawks for first place in the NFC West.
Purdy threw for 295 yards and three touchdowns against Tennessee, with Jauan Johnson hauling in a pair of scores.
San Francisco has a 98 per cent chance to get into the playoffs, as well as a 14 per cent chance to take the division crown before the start of play in Week 16.
The Colts (8-5) have been in a free-fall for over a month, and have now lost four straight games since their bye week.
Indy lost starting quarterback Daniel Jones for the year to an Achilles injury in Week 14, and brought Rivers out of retirement to lead Shane Steichen’s offence against the Seahawks, with the two having previously worked together during their time in San Diego.
Following four years out of the game, Rivers threw for 120 yards, a touchdown, and an interception, and had the Colts in position to win the game with under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter.
Seattle would take a late lead with a long field goal, and the hopes for a fairytale win in Rivers’ return was snuffed out.
With 2022 fourth overall pick Anthony Richardson just being cleared for football activities this past week following an orbital bone fracture, Rivers is once again starting under centre for the Colts with their playoff lives hanging in the balance.
If Indianapolis wins the final three games on their schedule, they would have a 98 per cent chance to make the postseason, but even one loss would essentially take them out of contention altogether.
While not the future Hall of Famer quarterback from years past, Rivers showed glimpses of solid play against Seattle, but the 49ers will have a full week to gameplan against him this time around.
