NFL Games Today TV Schedule | Week 17
Week 17’s slate of Sunday action features the most action-packed Sunday since Week 1. With no Thursday Night Football action, a season-high 14 games will be played between the early and late Sunday windows.
Atlanta Falcons (7-8) at Buffalo Bills (9-6)
- Channel: FOX
- Start time: 1 PM ET

This NFL game today between the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills kicks off today at 1 PM. After a rough patch during the latter part of the 2021 season, Buffalo looks more like the AFC Super Bowl contender many anticipated. Week 16’s 33-21 win over the Patriots in Gillette Stadium was decisive. With a mediocre Atlanta Falcons team coming up north, a blowout win would have this team tuned up nicely at the perfect time.
New York Giants (4-11) at Chicago Bears (5-10)

This Week 17 NFL game between the New York Giants and Chicago Bears kicks off at 1 PM. Times have been tough for both of these franchises as of late. New York’s injury bug has been brutal this season, but with the team already committing to QB Daniel Jones and head coach Joe Judge for at least one more season, it will be interesting to see what this team looks like in 2022.
However, Chicago faces much more uncertainty regarding its future.
QB Justin Fields is the QB for the immediate future as a Josh Rosen scenario seems highly unlikely with 2022’s QB class. But not much is known regarding who will be the head coach in the Windy City for the 2022 season. These last two weeks could decide Matt Nagy’s career in Chicago, although it seems like a split is needed.
Kansas City Chiefs (11-4) at Cincinnati Bengals (9-6)
- Channel: CBS
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:

- Hulu + Live TV

This NFL game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals begins today at 1 PM. Two AFC division leaders battle in this thrilling Week 17 matchup. Despite missing some key contributors due to COVID, the Chiefs continued their winning ways against the hapless Steelers, extending their winning streak to eight games.
Joe Burrow and the Bengals head into this matchup with a Week 16 blowout of their own in their pocket. Burrow threw a career-high 525 yards and 4 touchdowns against a depleted Baltimore secondary, and Cincinnati cruised to a 41-21 victory. This game will come down to which defense can slow the opposing offense the best. Nonetheless, both Burrow and Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes can make a play to change the layout of this game.
Miami Dolphins (8-7) at Tennessee Titans (10-5)
- Channel: CBS
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:
- Sling
- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV

This Week 17 NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans kicks off today at 1 PM. Miami’s win extended their streak to seven games, and they became the first team in NFL history to have a seven-game winning and a seven-game losing streak in the same season. They hold onto the seventh seed by the skin of their teeth and face two playoff-caliber teams to end the season.

First in their way is a reunion with former QB Ryan Tannehill in Nashville, Tennessee. WR A.J. Brown missed practice Thursday, but the move appears to be maintenance-based, and he should be good to go.
Can the vaunted Miami defense give Tannehill fits like they have the past two months? The Titans have found many ways to win, and QB Tua Tagovailoa and the offense will need to find some success against a threatening defensive front.
Las Vegas Raiders (8-7) at Indianapolis Colts (9-6)
- Channel: FOX
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:

- Hulu + Live TV

- YouTube TV
This NFL game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Indianapolis Colts kicks off today at 1 PM. The lead storyline surrounding this tilt is the availability of QB Carson Wentz. After testing positive for COVID-19, the question of whether or not he would start wouldn’t exist if the league didn’t change protocols recently. If Wentz shows no symptoms and is cleared after five days, he would be good to go. The fifth day is Sunday. As of now, QB Sam Ehlinger is slated for his first start.
The Colts should get the win either way. The last two wins for Las Vegas haven’t been pretty, and the Colts still have two aspects of their football team ready to go: RB Jonathan Taylor is making a run at the NFL MVP, while Indy’s defense dominates. The AFC playoff picture is exceptionally crowded, but a win from Indianapolis would clean things up a bit.
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-13) at New England Patriots (9-6)
- Channel: CBS
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:

- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV
- YouTube TV
This Week 17 NFL game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots begins today at 1 PM. After back-to-back losses, New England handed Buffalo the keys to the AFC East castle. Now needing a stumble from the Bills, it’s win-and-in time for the Patriots. Several scenarios exist for the Patriots to clinch a playoff berth with a win over Jacksonville. A loss from Miami or Las Vegas gets Belichick in the dance, but never count out a team eliminated from playoff contention.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11-4) at New York Jets (4-11)
- Channel: FOX
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:
- Sling
- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV
- YouTube TV
This NFL game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets begins today at 1 PM. Despite having two weeks left in the NFL season, the NFC’s No. 1 seed is still very much up for grabs. While the Packers have a one-game lead at 12-3, three teams sit at 11-4 — Tampa Bay is one. With games against the Jets and Panthers left, 2-0 is in play for the Buccaneers. Can Tom Brady and Bruce Arians be blessed with some losses by Green Bay to end the season?
The Jets have the worst passing defense in the league, and rookie QB Zach Wilson and the offense have been much better. The only thing standing in Tampa’s way is itself, which we have seen happen a couple of times this season. It’s time for a presumed Super Bowl-caliber team to take care of business.

This Week 17 NFL game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Football Team kicks off today at 1 PM. This NFC East rivalry sees both teams fighting for their spot in the playoffs. As it stands right now, the Eagles own the NFC’s seventh seed, and winning out would guarantee them a place in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Washington is the only team with fewer than seven wins that still has a shot at clinching a Wild Card berth.
The amount of things needing to happen for Washington to make back-to-back postseason appearances is laughable, but anything can happen in the NFL. They haven’t looked the part as of late, and the Eagles have been surging at the right time.
Los Angeles Rams (11-4) at Baltimore Ravens (8-7)
- Channel: FOX
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:

- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV
- YouTube TV
In the final game of the early window, the Los Angeles Rams head across the country to take on the Baltimore Ravens in this NFL game today. The season-long toll of injuries and COVID-related absences has finally caught up to the Baltimore Ravens. The defense is exceptionally understaffed, highlighted by Burrow slicing up the secondary in Week 16.
The Rams have been rolling the past four weeks as QB Matthew Stafford has emerged from his midseason funk. WR Cooper Kupp has benefitted the most from the Rams’ offseason QB change, and he should reap the rewards of a highly favorable matchup.
Late-Afternoon Week 17 NFL Games Today TV Schedule
Who battles in the 4 PM ET window in Week 17? The late-afternoon window features two of the three divisional matchups today. The Broncos and Chargers battle for their playoff hopes, while the Saints hope for an NFC miracle. Meanwhile, two NFC juggernauts face off as the Cardinals and Cowboys jockey for position.
Denver Broncos (7-8) at Los Angeles Chargers (8-7)
- Channel: CBS
- Start time: 4:05 PM ET
- Live stream:
- Sling
- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV
- YouTube TV
This Week 17 NFL game between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers kicks off today at 4:05 PM. Another AFC game that can clear up the Wild Card logjam, it’s do or die for these AFC West foes. The Chargers’ playoff chances seemed reasonably likely, but after Week 16’s embarrassing loss to Houston, things look bleak on the postseason front.
QB Teddy Bridgewater remains out for the Broncos, giving Drew Lock his second straight start. Can the Chargers seal the deal against Denver’s backup signal-caller? It will lay on the shoulders of Justin Herbert. This offense can compete with the best — but not when it plays as it did against Houston.
Houston Texans (4-11) at San Francisco 49ers (8-7)
- Channel: CBS
- Start time: 4:05 PM ET
- Live stream:

- Hulu + Live TV

This NFL game between the Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers begins today at 4:05 PM. Way to go, Houston. Week 16’s upset of the Chargers is precisely what teams eliminated from playoff contention are supposed to do — cause chaos. Davis Mills looked impressive and has put together some watch-worthy film this season.
San Francisco holds the NFC’s sixth seed and can get in with a win and some help, but it won’t be a cakewalk. Luckily, they face a Houston defense that’s awful at stopping the run. Can Kyle Shanahan’s specialty propel this squad to a postseason berth against a pesky Texans team?
Arizona Cardinals (10-5) at Dallas Cowboys (11-4)
- Channel: FOX
- Start time: 4:25 PM ET
- Live stream:

- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV
- YouTube TV
This Week 17 NFL game between the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys kicks off today at 4:25 PM. An NFC showdown between two division leaders. Arizona has struggled recently, falling to the fifth seed after three straight losses. The offense is out of sync following a bevy of injuries. QB Kyler Murray is still getting used to life without WR DeAndre Hopkins.
Meanwhile, Dallas has been eating the NFC East for breakfast over the last three weeks. They come into this matchup red-hot following a 56-14 walloping of the Washington Football Team. The Cowboys are firing on all cylinders and are one of the few 11-4 NFC teams praying for a Green Bay misstep.
Carolina Panthers (5-10) at New Orleans Saints (7-8)
- Channel: FOX
- Start time: 4:25 PM ET
- Live stream:
- Sling
- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV
- YouTube TV
This NFL game between the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints begins today at 4:25 PM. Monday Night’s 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins pretty much put an end to the Saints’ season. Wins over the next weeks and a miracle could feasibly see a postseason appearance.
However, New Orleans has not scored more than 17 points against a team with a winning record since Week 11. The defense has played lights out, but the lack of talent under center following Jameis Winston’s ACL injury has been evident.
It has been a disappointing season for both of these NFC South squads.
Detroit Lions (2-12-1) at Seattle Seahawks (5-10)
- Channel: FOX
- Start time: 4:25 PM ET
- Live stream:
- Sling
- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV
- YouTube TV
In today’s final Week 17 NFL game, the Detroit Lions take on the Seattle Seahawks at 4:25 PM. This game sees no playoff risks on the line. Week 16’s loss to the Bears ended any dreams of a chance of a Wild Card berth for Seattle. The focus turns to the future instead, and the Seahawks face plenty of uncertainty. Will Russell Wilson still be the QB next season? Meanwhile, Detroit looks to end positively after a rough ride in 2021. Dan Campbell’s first year wasn’t the best, but this team has shown plenty of growth and glimpses of hope for the future.
