There is a triple-header of NFL games on Saturday in Week 15; however, the games are not being televised by traditional broadcasters.

The NFL can play these games on a Saturday due to a rule that means they can not broadcast games on a Friday or Saturday due to the impact it could have on the exposure of high school and college football games.
The games chosen offer an exciting mix of games that all have playoff implications. While they may not be the most alluring matchups in the Week 15 slate, the NFL has chosen these games so they are given maximum coverage, instead of them fading into the full slate of games on Sunday.
