NFL Games Today: Sunday TV Schedule, Channels, Live Stream Options, and More
Week 15’s Sunday slate has just ten games with an expanded Christmas Day schedule and two games on Saturday. Only one divisional game kicks off today.

Indianapolis Colts at Atlanta Falcons
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
Today’s first NFL game sees the Indianapolis Colts heading to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to take on the Atlanta Falcons. After dropping a surprising loss to the Bengals, Indianapolis got back on track and back into the postseason with a win over the Steelers a week ago. With only three games left, can the Colts keep the momentum and make a surprise postseason appearance?
Meanwhile, the Falcons are struggling. After losing the lead in the NFC South to Tampa Bay a couple of weeks ago, things got even worse after dropping last week’s matchup to the Carolina Panthers 9-7. With the offense struggling mightily, head coach Arthur Smith will turn to Taylor Heinicke again this season to keep Atlanta’s slim playoff hopes alive.
Seattle Seahawks at Tennessee Titans
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The Seahawks make the trip to Nissan Stadium to take on the Tennessee Titans in the next NFL game today. A familiar face returns under center for the Titans. Rookie QB Will Levis injured his ankle in overtime against the Houston Texans last week. With the rookie unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, he will be out with Ryan Tannehill starting today.

Seattle currently sits on the outside looking into the NFC playoff picture. The win over the Eagles was massive in keeping the Seahawks within reaching distance of the final Wild Card spot. Seattle gets their QB1 back under center after missing the last two weeks with a hamstring injury. Can the Seahawks finish their push to the postseason?
Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The only divisional game of the week features an NFC North battle between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. The Lions bounced back nicely after a 1-2 stretch, dispatching the Broncos 42-17. Detroit faces the most challenging stretch of their schedule, facing off against Minnesota twice with a date against Dallas in between. Can Detroit finish off their impressive season?
Meanwhile, despite a good start by Nick Mullens, the Vikings lost to the Bengals last week. The Lions have not won at U.S. Bank Stadium in six years. While the Vikings hold on to the final NFC Wild Card spot, will they be able to take down a Lions team that’s back on a winning track? They have to win out to take the NFC North, so it’s now or never.
Washington Commanders at New York Jets

- Channel: CBS

Who’s ready for a matchup between the NFL’s worst offense against the worst defense in the NFL? That’s what the Commanders and Jets store for everyone when they face off today. The Jets turn to their fourth starting QB of the season as Trevor Siemian begins for the Gang Green for the first time this season. Will he fair any better than Zach Wilson or Tim Boyle?
Green Bay Packers at Carolina Panthers
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The last two losses for the Green Bay Packers drastically hurt their playoff chances. At 6-8, the Packers are currently the 11th seed in the NFC, with four teams sitting in front of them. The end of the season gets easier with dates against the Panthers, Vikings, and Bears. If the Packers win out, will they be able to clinch a playoff spot?
Cleveland Browns at Houston Texans
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
This game would be far more interesting if QB Deshaun Watson was returning to Houston after the two-year debacle. However, Watson has been out for five weeks, and veteran Joe Flacco has revived the Browns playoff aspirations. C.J. Stroud remains out for the Texans. Can Case Keenum keep Houston’s playoff hopes alive, or will the Browns strengthen their hold?
Jacksonville Jaguars at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bears

Both the Cardinals and Bears have dealt with tumultuous seasons. While the Bears had Justin Fields to start the season, their QB1 missed a handful of games, and Chicago was forced to turn to other options under center. Meanwhile, the Cardinals were without Kyler Murray for most of the season. Can Arizona’s impressive run game take over and help them upset Chicago?

Meanwhile, Miami bounced back nicely against the Jets last week. While losing to the Titans hurt in Week 14, running over the Jets without WR Tyreek Hill was a step in the right direction. With Hill and RB De’Von Achane available for Miami’s offense, will the Dolphins be even more lethal than their Week 15 shutout?
New England Patriots at Denver Broncos

The final game of Christmas Eve sees the New England Patriots heading to Mile High Stadium to take on the Denver Broncos. Denver sits at 7-7, hoping to steal an AFC Wild Card slot.
