There are three weeks left in the 2020 NFL regular season, 10 playoff spots still available, and 22 teams vying for those 10 spots.

Can you stream NFL Week 15 games for free on Reddit?
No. During this past NFL offseason, the r/nflstreams subreddit -- where links were posted for fans around the world to watch every NFL game for free -- was banned by Reddit.
The reason for that is that posting free links to watch NFL games constitutes copyright infringement, and the NFL could take legal action against those who post such links. The r/nflstreams subreddit was actually illegal, so Reddit shut it down.
By all accounts, this was Reddit's choice and not something they were forced to do by the NFL.
What is the best way to watch NFL Week 15 games for free?
It can be hard to find the NFL game of your choice if you don't have DIRECTV's NFL Sunday Ticket. If you have basic cable, you can watch the games CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN and NFL Network chooses to show in your area or on national TV.
Two free alternatives are the official NFL app and the Yahoo! Sports app. NFL games are available to live stream for free on your phone or tablet, but you can only watch games that are being shown in your local market.
The NFL app and Yahoo! Sports app streaming services are not available outside of the United States.
What are the other ways to stream NFL games?
There are plenty of options to stream NFL games, but they will cost money.
Sling TV, Hulu, Amazon Prime, FuboTV, YouTube TV, AT&T Now, CBS All Access, and Vidgo are some of the more popular streaming services. Each of those streaming services requires having an account and paying a fee for access.
DIRECTV also has a streaming version of the NFL Sunday Ticket package for people who can't install a satellite dish.
