Week 16 NFL

Christmas Eve Show December 24, 2021

The NFC North champion GREEN BAY PACKERS are the only team to have reserved a playoff berth with three weeks to play, marking the first time since 1993 that the NFL has entered a Week 16 with only one team guaranteed a postseason spot.

The BUFFALO BILLS (8-6) visit the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (9-5) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS). With a win, the Bills would capture a one-game advantage over the Patriots in the key divisional tiebreaker, division record.

 

 At one point this season, the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (10-4) were 3-4 and in last place in the AFC West. They enter this week’s game against the PITTSBURGH STEELERS (7-6-1) with the top record in their conference in the bid for the AFC’s only first-round bye in the playoffs. The Chiefs put their seven-game winning streak, the longest in the league entering Week 16, on the line at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, CBS).

The DALLAS COWBOYS (10-4), who own an NFC-best 8-1 conference record and sit only one game behind Green Bay in the race for the NFC’s lone first-round bye, host the WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (6-8) on Sunday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, NBC).
