With only three weeks remaining in the 2024 NFL regular season, the postseason battle is getting more intense. Since only six teams have mathematically qualified for the playoffs, Week 16 NFL coverage will be jam-packed with important games.
Week 16 will feature at least one game every day from Saturday through Monday due to the league's two Saturday afternoon games this week. Therefore, Sunday's afternoon windows will include eleven games, with CBS airing six and Fox airing the remaining five.
This week's NFL action will begin on Thursday Night Football with a crucial AFC West matchup between the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers, two teams that are getting close to making the playoffs.
The two Saturday games this week are also contests with playoff implications in the AFC. The Pittsburgh Steelers will play the Baltimore Ravens a few hours after the Houston Texans play the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
