The NFC South is justifiably derided as one of the worst divisions in the NFL. But as bad as it is, somebody has to win it. And two of the teams who figure to be in the hunt are the 4-time defending NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons, who are aiming for their first playoff season since 2017. Atlanta is expected to start Michael Penix Jr at quarterback this year after Kirk Cousins failed to deliver a playoff bid in 2024. Penix is a left-hander, which does affect offensive play calling and design far more than many observers realize. So, there will be a transition for the 8th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. Head coach Raheem Morris enters his second season in Atlanta, where the Falcons chose Morris over Bill Belichick in what increasingly looks like a wise decision.

2025 NFL Week 15 Schedule
In the early Sunday window, a game could be critical in determining who wins the AFC North and makes the playoffs. The Cincinnati Bengals host the Baltimore Ravens in what could be the biggest game of the season for both teams.
An under-the-radar early window matchup is the Arizona Cardinals at the Houston Texans. Arizona is considered to be a potential sleeper team after showing marked improvement in 2024. Meanwhile, the Texans are coming off two playoff seasons with the dynamic duo of third-year head coach DeMeco Ryans and quarterback CJ Stroud, also in his third season with the Texans. Houston has become the team to beat in the AFC South, one of the weakest divisions in football. By contrast, the Cardinals play in the NFC West, one of the toughest divisions in the game.
One of the great old rivalries in pro football will be renewed in the AFC West when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Los Angeles Chargers. These teams have shared the same division since 1960, the founding of the American Football League. Following their blowout loss in last year’s Super Bowl, the Chiefs are facing increased doubts about their Super Bowl viability. Kansas City has owned the AFC West since 2016, but the Chargers are one of the teams mentioned as a threat to that dynasty.
The most attractive game in the late Sunday afternoon window is an interconference matchup of the Green Bay Packers at the Denver Broncos. Now in his third season as head coach, Payton took the Broncos to the playoffs in 2024, one of the great surprises in the league. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix proved to be exactly what Payton was looking for. But will the Broncos face a stock market correction, or are they here to stay as a challenger to the Chiefs in the AFC West? This game is a credibility test for both clubs.
The NBC Sunday Night matchup is a great example of the power of branding. The Dallas Cowboys will host the Minnesota Vikings in a game that could have several different possibilities. The Vikings are coming off a strong season that followed a bad one, but have a first-year starting quarterback, JJ McCarthy. The Cowboys are coming off a lost season ravaged by injuries that followed a good season in 2023. The Cowboys remain a powerful brand that harkens back to when they were tabbed “America’s Team” in the late 1970s. TV executives have always said, “When in doubt, give ‘em the Cowboys.”
