NFL fans will be able to watch many football in week 15. The weeks off are officially over and there will be 16 games from Thursday evening to Monday evening. This includes the normal three prime-time games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday and what was supposed to be a double schedule on Saturday.
However, due to COVID issues in the NFL, the league has moved several games. The good news for fans is that there will be Week 15 games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, so they will be able to see a lot of this week’s games in prime time. The bad news? This will make a Sunday slate lighter than normal.
There will only be nine games in total during the Sunday afternoon roster, as “Thursday Night Football” and the Saturday Night game have already taken place while “Sunday Night Football” and two games every Monday. and Tuesday are yet to come. This will make the NFL Redzone a little less hectic than usual, but viewers will still have plenty of games to choose from.

Fox’s gaming slate is even more intriguing. They’ll be showing the Cowboys-Giants game for the most part early on the roster, while they’ll also have a rare opportunity for another national broadcast, as Packers-Ravens will be the only game to air on the network at 4:25 p.m. ET.
As for CBS, they have some interesting games involving potential playoff teams – Titans-Steelers, Bengals-Broncos, and Falcons-49ers. These will likely get the most attention from the group, with Titans-Steelers being the best overall option for the network.
