Overview
- The schedule features Cowboys–Commanders, Lions–Vikings, and Broncos–Chiefs, with the first two on Netflix and the nightcap on Prime Video.
- Detroit faces elimination with a loss in Minnesota and still needs Green Bay to lose out to keep a slim playoff path alive even with a win.
- Denver has clinched a playoff berth and remains in the hunt for the AFC’s No. 1 seed, while Kansas City has been eliminated from contention.
- The Chiefs start Chris Oladokun after ACL tears sidelined Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew, and the Vikings turn to Max Brosmer with J. J. McCarthy out.
- Cowboys–Commanders carries no immediate playoff stakes, with Washington starting Josh Johnson, and local CBS affiliates carry the early games in team markets.
