The NFL regular season is coming to an end soon. If some teams have already secured their place for the “post-season”, the last sesames to continue to compete on the most beautiful grounds of the United States at the end of January will be awarded very quickly. With a poster between the Bengals and the Buccaneers which promises a lot or the rivalry between Seahawks and 49ers which will be at the heart of the debates of this Thursday Night Football, zoom in on this Week 15 of the NFL championship and the stakes of the meetings that it does not must not miss this weekend.
NFL Week 15: The game of the week
Cincinnati Bengals [9-4] @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers [6-7] : Sunday at 10:25 p.m.
Swept away by the Imperial San Francisco 49ers last week in one of the posters that promised the most spectacle, Tom Brady and his team had both a game without on offense (seven points scored) and in defense with five touchdowns conceded including three in the only second quarter which weighed down the hopes of Floridians.
Still at the top of their conference despite a negative record, Tampa Bay will have to win to avoid seeing the Falcons return to see the Panthers at their height in the NFC South.
For their part, the Bengals reacted very well following their complicated start to the season. Defeated by the Cleveland Browns on October 31, the franchise reacted well last week by taking revenge to win (23-10) and thus keep control of the AFC North with the same record as the Ravens of Baltimore.
Player to watch: Josh Allen
Miami Dolphins [8-5] @ Buffalo Bills [10-3] : Saturday evening at 2:15 a.m.
Always as metronome within the team which leads the debates of the American conference, the quarterback of Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen, connects the very beautiful performances to make pass its team from an outsider statute in its conference to that of Super Bowl contender. Faced with their dolphins (ironically) in the AFC East, the Bills will try to control the Dolphins who will have to raise their heads following two straight losses once morest the 49ers and the Chargers last week.
Team to watch: Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans [7-6] @ Los Angeles Chargers [7-6] : Sunday at 10:25 p.m.
Very well started at the start of the season, the Titans are marking time and see the Jacksonville Jaguars gradually come back on their steps in the classification of their conference. By remaining on three consecutive losses, two almost expected once morest the Bengals and the Eagles then the last which revived the Jaguars, it will be necessary for the Tennessee franchise to do much better in defense with an average of four touchdowns conceded in their last four meetings.
Question of the week: Can the Falcons do it?
Atlanta Falcons [5-8] @ New Orleans Saints [4-9] : Sunday at 7:00 p.m.
While the ambitions of the Falcons, Panthers and Saints, all three residents of the NFC South were quite low following a few weeks of competition and a complicated start to the season for each of the teams mentioned. Tampa Bay’s recent difficulties have led to a redistribution of the cards and therefore a new possibility for all the teams in the division to grab a place in the “post-season”.
By facing the New Orleans Saints in a duel between two franchises fairly close geographically, it is above all the possibility for the Falcons to come back up to the Buccaneers in the event of a defeat by the Floridians. Both resting last week, the teams will meet in Louisiana for a duel that promises to be explosive.
Thursday’s game
san francisco 49ers [9-4] @ Seattle Seahawks [7-6]
New division duel on the program this weekend with the opening this Thursday between the 49ers, leaders of the NFC West who find the Seahawks up and down and who alternate good and less good in recent weeks. What better way for the Seattle franchise to win at the start of the day and thus still believe in the playoffs.
