NFL Week 15

Depending on when the regular season starts, NFL Week 15 generally falls around the middle of the month of December. By this time, the teams that are at the top of their respective divisions may have already secured home field advantage and/or a bye week (a week off) in the NFL Playoffs. At this point, teams that are still on the bubble may have a shot at getting in the postseason via an NFL wild card game.

For the 2010 NFL Season, week 15 has several games that promise to be exciting. The Eagles and the Giants will continue their NFC East rivalry with a game in New York.http://www.nfl.com/schedules/release This could be an especially interesting matchup, since the Eagles will be without their veteran quarterback Donovan McNabb, who was recently traded to the Redskins. The classic rivalry between the Redskins and the Cowboys will continue with a game this week. McNabb, who will likely be starting for Washington, will face off against Dallas quarterback Tony Romo.

As the push for the playoffs gets tighter, the games become even more important. The week began with a Thursday night match-up between the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears, in which the Bears won 27 to 24 in overtime. During the Sunday action, the doubleheader this week belonged to the CBS Sports. Among the featured games: Houston upset Tennessee, 13-12; Green Bay fell to Jacksonville, 20-16; and Randy Moss returned to Oakland with the Patriots to defeat the Raiders, 49-26. The scheduled Sunday night game had the New York Giants falling to division rival Dallas 20-8, and on Monday night, the Cleveland Browns lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 30-10.
