Somehow, some way, we’re already into the final two weeks of the 2025 NFL season as the playoffs are just around the corner for some—and offseason trips to Cancun are on the horizon for others.
The week that was in the league saw the Seahawks and Rams duke it out in the NFL’s Game of the Year, the Bears take down the Packers in overtime on a Caleb Williams heave, Liam Coen take a subtle shot at Sean Payton after his Jaguars put a halt to the Broncos’ winning streak, and Philip Rivers show that he’s still able to sling it at age 44.
Additionally, DK Metcalf got in an altercation with a Lions fan that ultimately got him suspended, Gardner Minshew suffered a knee injury that will force the Chiefs into rolling with Chris Okadokun, and Stefon Diggs compared Drake Maye to another Patriots legend after New England took down Baltimore on Sunday night.
And just like that, we’re onto Week 17. Here’s a complete look at the upcoming slate, with dates, times, and where to watch each contest.
