NFL TV Schedule 2014: Week 14 Coverage Map Listings for Every Game

Playoffs? Don't talk about...playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs?

Jim Mora may not like talking about the playoffs, but heading into Week 14, that will be the NFL's primary narrative.

The AFC Wild Card picture is an absolute mess right now, as six teams are tied at 7-5 and in the thick of the race for the No. 6 seed. The NFC features three 8-4 teams vying for just two wild-card spots, and we can rest assured one team with a very good record will be left out in the cold following Week 17.

Those scenarios, and several others, will all begin to play out across a compelling slate of Week 14 games. So, before this pivotal week on the gridiron kicks off, be sure to take in all of the league's essential viewing information via a nationwide coverage map to ensure you don't miss a moment of the action.

Top Games to Watch Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals

The AFC North has been one of the most intriguing and enigmatic divisions this season. All four teams have at least seven wins; however, each squad has produced erratic performances, looking like a true playoff contender one week and a team that may not win another game the next.

As it stands right now, the Bengals have a nice cushion atop the division, sitting at 8-3-1, while the other three teams are holding at 7-5. The magnitude of this particular matchup is huge, as this is the first of two remaining games between the Bengals and the Steelers.

SportsCenter tweeted the division's current standings:

Should Cincinnati win, it will have at least a 1.5-game lead on the division with three games to play. However, if Pittsburgh wins, it has a solid chance to overtake Cincinnati for the division lead when these teams meet again in Week 17.

The Bengals are coming off an ugly road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, surviving 14-13 after quarterback Andy Dalton tossed three interceptions; however, the Pittsburgh secondary has been a weakness of late, allowing Drew Brees to pass for five touchdowns during a devastating Week 13 home loss.

While Cincinnati's defense has clamped down of late, it will be heavily tested by Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, who has come alive this season, reaching the 1,000-yard mark and averaging 4.8 yards per carry.

These AFC North contests have a tendency to be slugfests, so you don't want to miss this bout from Paul Brown Stadium.

Seattle Seahawks at Philadelphia Eagles

Two of the NFC's elite will be squaring off Sunday evening in Philadelphia, and plenty of postseason implications across the conference will be on the line.

The Eagles lead the NFC East by a game over the Dallas Cowboys; however, with a favorable Thursday matchup against the Chicago Bears, Dallas could narrow that gap before Philadelphia takes the field. If the Eagles win, they are in great position to enter the postseason as a division winner; however, if they lose, a Week 15 clash with the Cowboys will become immensely important.

Seattle trails the Arizona Cardinals by one game in the NFC West, but that may not be the case for long. Arizona has a difficult contest against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14, and should it lose, the Seahawks can claim the top spot with a win; however, if Seattle suffers a loss, it will be immersed in a wild-card battle with the Cowboys, the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions.

The 49ers' official Twitter account displayed a graphic of the current NFC West standings:

Philadelphia really needs to get LeSean McCoy going if it is going to emerge victorious Sunday. The veteran ball-carrier got off to a sluggish start this season; however, he's posted at least 130 rushing yards and a score in the team's last two games. His presence out of the backfield has taken pressure off quarterback Mark Sanchez, allowing him to be more efficient in the passing game.

Russell Wilson has been Seattle's catalyst this season once again. He's been extremely accurate as a passer, and he isn't afraid to take off and run when necessary, accumulating 679 rushing yards and averaging 7.5 yards per carry on the season. His versatility will be the key for Seattle against an Eagles defense that has begun to play much better over the past two weeks—especially against the run.

Be sure to take in this contest, as it's likely to have a domino effect on the NFC's playoff race.
