NFL Week 16 Schedule 2024-25

Week 16 of the NFL regular season starts building up the excitement level even further as this means we are just three weeks away from finding out the final playoff positions for each team. Week 16 will also feature two games on Saturday with college football games coming to an end in the United States.

Moreover, with the holiday season of Christmas and New Year just around the corner, the week 16 NFL schedule has some quite intriguing matchups in store.

Game on Thursday, December 19

Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals

Depending on the divisional standings by week 16, this game between the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals could have lots of implications as we wind down toward the end of the regular season. This game is not just an AFC North rivalry, it is also a rivalry between two cities from the same state of Ohio.

If most of the starters from both teams are healthy for this game then the atmosphere will be electric. The AFC North has all the potential to go down to the wire this season with all 4 teams capable of making a push to the playoffs.

Game on Saturday, December 21

Houston Texans @ Kansas City Chiefs

As we witness the first games on Saturday of the 2024 NFL season, it is worth noting that both games come with big storylines. In the first game, the Houston Texans travel east to play the Kansas City Chiefs. This game’s main interest lies in the fact that C.J. Stroud and Patrick Mahomes will go head-to-head for the first time. Fans will be expecting a classic duel between the two high-powered offenses.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens

The second Saturday game is another AFC North battle between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. Once again, if the division is close towards the end of the regular season then this game will have a huge impact going forward.

This exciting matchup pits the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett against the reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson giving us another reason to watch the game and see who comes out on top.

Games on Sunday, December 22

Detroit Lions @ Chicago Bears

As we approach the end of the regular season, all divisional games will be more important. Likewise, this game between the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears could potentially be a big one.

Several experts expect the Bears to either get into the playoffs this season or at least be in the running with the team they have assembled through free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft. However, the Lions are the defending NFC North champions and also made it to the NFC Championship game last year so this game has all the makings to be a great one.

San Francisco 49ers @ Miami Dolphins

The NFL schedule week 16 has revealed the Sunday Night Football matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins for week 16. Two quality teams facing off against each other should provide fans with an enthusiastic display of strategy and game planning. Both teams are coached by smart and innovative coaches and both teams have top-drawer players at key positions. Also, with the divisional standings potentially on the line, it is a win-at-any-cost type of game for both sides.

Game on Monday, December 23

New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers

Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season will come to an end with the New Orleans Saints leaving their comfort of the dome to head to the frigid cold at Lambeau Field as they find themselves playing the Green Bay Packers for this Monday Night Football (MNF) game.

In all fairness, while the Packers may have a slight edge roster-wise, they should have a much bigger advantage if the climate plays its part as well. At this point of the season, both teams could be fighting for the top spot in their respective divisions.
