NFL Previews

Whether you call it the Andy Reid Bowl, the Kelce Clash or perhaps Super Bowl 57.5, fireworks are expected when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Philadelphia Eagles in a Monday night showdown. Both teams are coming off bye weeks. The Eagles (8-1) sport the best record in the NFL. The Chiefs (7-2) have the best record in the AFC and have swept the last four meetings, including 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII on Feb.

Division title goals and beyond remain attainable after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers snapped pronounced losing streaks with decisive victories last week. The Buccaneers (4-5) and host 49ers (6-3) look to build on that momentum at the other’s expense on Sunday in Santa Clara, Calif., a rematch of the 49ers’ 35-7 win in the same stadium last December. The Bucs halted a four-game losing skid with a 20-6 triumph over the visiting

Status quo wasn’t working for the Buffalo Bills. Coach Sean McDermott fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey on Tuesday, a move he deemed necessary less than 24 hours after a 24-22 loss at home to the Broncos that featured four turnovers and a pair of last-minute penalties that set up Denver’s game-winning field goal. “I just felt that this was the right time,” McDermott said of firing Dorsey with seven games left in the regular season.

The Las Vegas Raiders are experiencing a revival under interim coach Antonio Pierce. Now they might need another gear for a visit to tackle the Miami Dolphins at Miami Gardens, Fla. The Raiders (5-5) are 2-0 since firing Josh McDaniels and handing the keys to Pierce, who has quickly energized the squad. The visit to Miami is the only road contest during a six-game stretch for the Raiders. “We were fortunate that my first two

Frigid starts melted away and two of the NFL’s warmest teams, the Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos, get together in the Week 11 Sunday night game. Minnesota (6-4) rides a five-game streak to Denver despite a spate of injuries to key players including quarterback Kirk Cousins and wide receiver Justin Jefferson. The Vikings are coming off a 27-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints last Sunday. And don’t look now, but Denver (4-5) is riding

With back-to-back last-second victories pushing the Houston Texans above-.500 in November for the first time since 2019, there’s an unrecognizable element in the air around the franchise: playoff talk. The emergence of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud has the Texans squarely in the postseason conversation with eight games to play. When the Texans (5-4) host the Arizona Cardinals (2-8), Houston’s challenge includes avoiding looking beyond Sunday and down the road ahead. Up next is a critical

The Los Angeles Chargers can get back to .500 when they visit the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon in Green Bay, Wis. Los Angeles (4-5) remains optimistic that it can make a run for the playoffs despite losing three of its past five games. The Chargers are coming off a 41-38 setback on their home field against the Detroit Lions in Week 10, dropping the tug-of-war with the NFC North leaders on a last-second

The Detroit Lions last division title, 30 years ago, was so long ago the NFC North was the Central. In order to end the drought, the Lions will need to hold down their current division opponents for the remainder of the regular season. Detroit (7-2) plays five of its final eight games against its NFC North rivals, beginning with a home matchup against the last-place Bears on Sunday. The Lions are seeking their first division

The Tennessee Titans and Jaguars will be eager to put a tally in the win column on Sunday when they meet in Jacksonville, Fla. The Jaguars (6-3) saw their five-game winning streak come to a halt with a 34-3 dismantling by the San Francisco 49ers this past Sunday. Jacksonville surrendered three passing touchdowns to Brock Purdy, while Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence tossed a pair of interceptions and was sacked five times. “They want to right
