NFL Schedule Week 12: TV Start Times, Coverage Map and Live-Stream Info

Andy BaileyNov 27, 2016

An appetizer of NFL action kicked off Week 12 on Thanksgiving day. The main course is set for Sunday.

Those who put on a show earlier in the week included Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys, Kirk Cousins of the Washington Redskins and Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Cousins was unable to lead his team to victory, but he threw for 449 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Elliott, who scored two touchdowns and had 120 yards from scrimmage, was a big reason that production went for naught.

In the late game, Brown caught five passes for 91 yards and three touchdowns. "Brown has 10 games with multiple touchdown receptions in the past three seasons, the most in the NFL," ESPN Stats & Info wrote. "Only two other players have more than five in that span: Odell Beckham Jr. with eight and Antonio Gates with six."

Brown and the other stars of Thursday's action kicked things off, but with bye weeks behind us, there are still 26 teams yet to play. Expect plenty more big plays and stat lines.

The Games Everyone Can Watch

Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos

Sunday's action is headlined by a matchup of 7-3 AFC West rivals the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. The teams enter Week 12 with more similarities than just their records.

Both teams rely heavily on their defenses. Kansas City is tied for fourth in the league for fewest points allowed at 187. Denver's right behind with 189 points surrendered. The Chiefs have given up 1,211 rushing yards. The Broncos have allowed 1,237.

On the other side of the ball, Kansas City and Denver rank 24th and 25th, respectively, in total passing yards. They're at 24th and 25th in rushing yards as well.

So, what will separate these teams on Sunday? The turnover battle. Yet again, the teams are close in takeaways (23-20 edge to the Chiefs), but giveaways favor KC. In fact, the Chiefs are an NFL-best plus-13 in terms of turnovers forced and committed.

If they can force Denver's young quarterback, Trevor Siemian, to make mistakes, the Chiefs may be able to solidify their playoff positioning. 

Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles

"What's wrong with Aaron Rodgers?" has been a running theme throughout the 2016 NFL season. Rodgers is 13th in passer rating, 10th in passing yards and second in passing touchdowns, but his Green Bay Packers are 4-6 and in very real danger of missing the playoffs.

"I feel like we can run the table, I really do," Rodgers said this week, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. "The offense is starting to click a little bit more; we've just got to put together a game where we're more consistent from the first snap to the last."

That could be difficult against the Philadelphia Eagles, who lead the league in Defensive DVOA, per Football Outsiders. And safety Rodney McLeod is embracing the opportunity to face Rodgers, per Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com:

"

Every Sunday you’re out there you have to give it your best, you have to perform at your highest level. There’s no Sunday that’s guaranteed to any team in this league. That’s what I’ve learned in my five years in this league. 
 
We’ve been challenged every week. I think we’ve faced it all this year. We’ve had our highs and our lows, and Monday is another big challenge for us, Aaron Rodgers is a Hall of Famer, can make every single throw. It’s going to be a test for us as an entire defense but definitely us in the back end. 
 
But I think the type of guys we have, we embrace those moments, and we look forward to going up against those type of guys and measuring ourselves against the best guys out there.

"

The battle between Rodgers and the Eagles secondary will go a long way toward deciding the outcome of the game. And with both teams' playoff hopes on the line (5-5 Philadelphia's in last place in the NFC East), expect everyone to come out firing.
