The Arizona Cardinals find themselves in a must-win situation as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive. With just a few weeks left in the season, the Cardinals (7-7) know that every game is critical, and that urgency will be on full display this Sunday when they visit the Carolina Panthers (3-11) in Charlotte, North Carolina. “From here on out, we got to win them all and that’s our mindset going into everything,” said Cardinals offensive tackle Jonah Williams. “But there’s definitely a heightened sense of urgency.” After snapping a three-game losing streak with a 30-17 victory over the New England Patriots, Arizona is back in the hunt for a spot in the NFC playoffs, but they can’t afford

The Detroit Lions will visit Chicago on Sunday, where they look to rebound from a heartbreaking loss while contending with a string of injuries that have threatened to derail their NFC dominance. The Lions (12-2) remain atop the NFC but are facing a critical stretch to secure home-field advantage, and their challenge will intensify against a Chicago Bears team still reeling from a disastrous season. Despite their commanding position in the NFC, the Lions are not without their problems. Running back David Montgomery and defensive tackle Alim McNeill both sustained significant knee injuries in last week’s loss to the Buffalo Bills.

However, the Chanticleers will enter the matchup with significant questions under center as they adjust to life without their top two quarterbacks. Both Ethan Vasko and Noah Kim have entered the transfer portal, leaving Coastal Carolina coach Tim Beck to turn to redshirt freshman Tad Hudson, who has yet to play a snap this season. Beck joked about the situation, saying, “After this meeting, I’m taking all of you outside for tryouts.” While the team scrambles to ready Hudson, the Chanticleers will likely lean heavily on their running game, which ranks 46th nationally with 178.7 yards

The Colorado Buffaloes (8-2) look to wrap up their nonconference schedule with a win as they host Bellarmine (3-9) on Saturday afternoon in Boulder, Colo. With a perfect 7-0 home record this season, the Buffaloes aim to fine-tune their defensive identity before diving into the challenges of Big 12 play. Colorado lost its top five scorers from last season’s NCAA Tournament squad, leaving a significant gap to fill offensively. The team has found new scoring leaders in Julian Hammond III (13.4 points per game), Elijah Malone (12.3), and Andrej Jakimovski (12.1). This trio has helped Colorado adjust to a new-look lineup, providing balanced scoring that has fueled their strong start at home. However, the Buffaloes’ biggest concern remains their perimeter
