Week 14 features the last of the bye weeks, as New England, Miami, Indianapolis, and Philadelphia all finally get to take their weeks off (interesting that all of those teams have played very well of late – if worried about losing momentum this could be an example of an off-week occurring at the wrong time).
The biggest game of Week 14, like Week 13, is the Monday night game. However, would expect the weather conditions to be much different in the dome in Glendale as the 8-4 Rams face off with the 10-2 Cardinals. Other big games this week:
Buffalo travels to Tampa to take on the defending champs. Another big test of a team on the precipice of the non-playoff abyss for the Bills. A loss would mean that the Bills would be outside of the playoffs with four games left.
Dallas at Washington: following a 2-6 start, a four game win streak finds WFT in the second wild card spot and, with two head-to-head games left, the division title is still within their grasp. The Cowboys will look to build on a strong Week 13 against New Orleans.
San Francisco at Cincinnati: two wild card teams face off in Cincinnati with major playoff implications. The Bengals will look to wash away the stink of their Week 13 home loss to the Chargers, while the Niners will similarly look to get back in the win column after their disappointing loss to the Seahawks.
Pittsburgh at Minnesota: the Thursday nighter features a game where neither team can afford to lose, as both teams reside just outside the playoffs at present time. The loser of this game likely has to win out in the final four weeks to remain in contention.
Baltimore at Cleveland: this AFC North showdown means a lot more to the Browns who, at 6-6, need this game to have even a remote chance at the postseason. Baltimore will be looking to rebound after their heartbreaking 20-19 loss at Pittsburgh.
Las Vegas at Kansas City: A loss is fatal to the Raiders post-season chances and with a recent 41-14 home loss to these same Chiefs, Las Vegas’ backs are against the wall in this one. The Chiefs will look to add to their five-game winning streak with a big win over this division foe.
