There will be three Saturday standalone games on Dec. 28 and a new Sunday Night Football matchup on Dec. 29, the league announced Tuesday.
Here are the Saturday matchup, which will all air on NFL Network:
The Chargers (8-6) currently hold the final AFC wild card spot after losing two straight games. With another key game scheduled for Week 16 against the Broncos, their game against the Patriots (3-11) will be a must-win for Justin Herbert and Co.
The Broncos (9-5) are now comfortably in the AFC playoff picture after a big win in Week 15. On the other side, the Bengals (6-8) need to win out and get some help from other teams to rejoin the field.
The Cardinals (7-7) will visit the division-leading Rams (8-6) in the nightcap where each team still has a chance to make the playoffs by virtue of winning the NFC West.
The Sunday night game will see the Commanders (9-5) looking to solidify their NFC wild card spot, while the Falcons (7-7) are still alive to win the NFC South.
Week 18 is now the only set of regular season games with times and dates still to be announced.
