The 2025 NFL season has officially reached its home stretch. As we ready for this weekend, only five full weeks of regular-season action remain until the start of the playoffs. The postseason picture is far from finalized,

A lot contributed to the loss — turnovers, kickoff coverage and Dallas' defense allowed scores on six of the Lions' final seven possessions.

The Cincinnati Bengals are back in the hunt in the updated AFC playoff picture ahead of an NFL Week 14 game against the Bills at Buffalo's Highmark Stadium.

Thursday night's game now features two teams that would be out of the playoffs if the season ended before Week 14, but the matchup has become what amounts to an elimination game. With a loss, the Lions' chances to make the playoffs dip to 19%, according to NFL.com. The Cowboys' chances would go all the way down to 9% with a loss.

Coach Andy Reid has publicly voiced confidence even as numbers tick downward. Reid has emphasized focusing on fundamentals and “the next game,” while Travis Kelce has pointed to the narrowness of several losses this season as evidence that the Chiefs are close to turning things around.

Los Lions de Detroit tendrán un breve descanso. Detroit logró una victoria muy necesaria el jueves 44-30 sobre los Cowboys de Dallas, para tener récord de 2-1 en una serie de tres partidos en casa durante 12 días.

The Panthers are a postseason contender and are looking for their first playoff berth since 2017. One NFL writer isn’t sold on Dave Canales’s erratic team.

As to the Cowboys’ playoff chances, screw the numbers. Win the next four, and hope the Eagles go 2-3. That would make the Cowboys 10-6-1, and the Eagles 10-7. And it would give the Cowboys the NFC East crown.
