Must-Watch Week 15 Matchups

Packers at Panthers

The best game of Week 15 is not one of the prime-time national matchups.

The 7-6 Green Bay Packers' playoff dreams are hanging by a thread, and they will have to not only defeat the 9-4 Carolina Panthers on Sunday to have a chance to contend but will also have to win their two games thereafter, against NFC North rivals the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.

But their chances of doing so skyrocketed thanks to the news that quarterback Rodgers has been medically cleared to return to the field. 

Add to that the fact Panthers quarterback Cam Newton appeared on the team's injury report Wednesday, and suddenly this matchup could swing wildly, even though the Panthers are favored to win by three.

With Rodgers back, this matchup delivers on its billing. It's a dynamic meeting between two NFC heavyweights who could find themselves meeting once again in the playoffs.

Heading into Week 15, both teams are trying to contend for a wild-card berth, as neither leads its division.

Though the Packers at the Panthers is the most interesting NFC matchup in Week 15 because of Rodgers' return, don't overlook how crucial the game between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks will be, both for the NFC West and the conference as a whole.

The Rams lead the division with a 9-4 record. However, the 8-5 Seahawks are breathing down their necks.

Seattle took the first meeting of the year 16-10. But with things so close in the divisional race, denying the Seahawks the opportunity to claim the tiebreaker could end up being a huge boon to the Rams' postseason pecking order.

This matchup is a classic unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. The Rams are the NFL's second-most prolific scoring offense, averaging 30.5 points per game.

They are behind only the Philadelphia Eagles, and with Wentz out for the year, they could well move into the top spot  before the regular season is done.

Seattle's Legion of Boom is one of the best-equipped defenses to handle Los Angeles' offensive prowess. The team limits opponents to 19.4 points and 329.1 yards per game.

The Seahawks are favored by a narrow 1.5 points. This one is a must-watch contest.

Patriots at Steelers

Not all the excitement is contained to the NFC in Week 15. 

The AFC's top two teams, the 11-2 Pittsburgh Steelers and 10-3 New England Patriots, will match up in a potential shootout Sunday afternoon.

The Patriots are coming off a shocking loss to the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football in Week 14 that dropped them one game behind the Steelers and down a spot in the AFC playoff seedings. 

If Pittsburgh defeats New England and then wins out, it would secure the No. 1 seed in the conference, a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the playoffs. 

New England's 27-20 loss to Miami in Week 14 could have serious consequences on the way its postseason plays out.

However, it wasn't quite as uncharacteristic as you may think. Just as many teams can struggle with divisional opponents, Patriots coach Bill Belichick's teams have not been dominant over Miami during his tenure. The loss brings New England's record on the road against Miami to 8-10 since 2000.

This matchup, between not only the two best teams in the AFC but also perhaps the two best teams in the league, will likely produce the AFC's representative in the Super Bowl.
