Preview: Minnesota at Atlanta

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, November 29, 2015
Where: Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia






The Minnesota Vikings aim to bounce back from their first loss since Week 4 and keep pace in the NFC North when they travel to take on the struggling Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Minnesota’s third-ranked scoring defense looks to further frustrate a Falcons’ offense that has committed 16 turnovers in the last six games.



The Vikings squandered their chance to take control of the NFC North with a lackluster effort against Green Bay last week but can stay in the hunt for the division title by sending the Falcons to a fourth straight defeat. Minnesota hopes to continue its playoff push by duplicating last year’s 41-28 home win over Atlanta and picking up its fourth consecutive road triumph. The Falcons have lost four of five since a 5-0 start and are trying to avoid a third straight home loss after a 24-21 defeat to Indianapolis last week. Atlanta has committed four turnovers in each of its last two home contests but remains in position for the final playoff spot in the NFC.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Falcons -1. O/U: 45.5



ABOUT THE VIKINGS (7-3): Minnesota’s return to prominence has come on the strength of Adrian Peterson, who leads the NFL in rushing (1,006 yards) a year after playing only one game due to a suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. The Vikings don’t ask much of second-year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, but he has been effective when called upon. Rookie receiver Stefon Diggs has given Minnesota a big-play threat with 12 receptions of 20 yards or more since making his debut in Week 4.

ABOUT THE FALCONS (6-4): Atlanta boasts the No. 1 rush defense in the league (87.4 yards per game) and held Indianapolis to 74 yards on the ground last week after allowing over 100 in two straight contests. The Falcons have moved the ball effectively – they rank fourth in total offense – but the turnovers have been a major concern of late, as they coughed up the ball four times against the Colts. The struggling unit took a hit with running back Devonta Freeman (1,184 scrimmage yards, 11 TDs) leaving last week’s game with a concussion, and with him being unlikely to play Sunday, the Falcons will count on Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, the NFL’s leading receiver, to power the offense.



EXTRA POINTS

1. Peterson (11,196) needs 41 rushing yards to surpass O.J. Simpson and move into the top 20 on the all-time list.

2. Jones has recorded 31 receptions for 459 yards in the last three games but only one touchdown over that span.

3. Ryan has thrown three touchdown passes in each of the last two meetings with Minnesota, with two of the six scores going to WR Roddy White.

Preview: N.Y. Giants at Washington

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, November 29, 2015
Where: FedEx Field, Landover, Maryland




The New York Giants look to continue their dominance over the host Washington Redskins when the two teams meet in an unlikely battle for first place in the muddled NFC East Division. New York has won five straight in the series, including a 32-21 decision earlier in the season.

Eli Manning threw touchdown passes to Odell Beckham Jr. and Rueben Randle in New York's first meeting of the season. The Giants, however, have lost two of their last three games and are in danger of missing the playoffs for the fourth straight season if they don't win the division. Washington defensive end Jason Hatcher made news during the week by implying that officials have penalized the team more frequently because of its refusal to drop the Redskins team logo. The entire squad was upset after a pick-six in last week's loss to Carolina was negated by an unnecessary roughness penalty that would have given Washington a 21-14 lead at the time.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Giants -2. O/U: 46.5.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (5-5): The Giants dropped a heartbreaker to the Patriots last time out when Stephen Gostkowski booted a 54-yard field goal with one second left. Paced by Manning and his 21 touchdown passes, New York ranks fourth in the league in scoring at 27.3 points a game. The Giants, however, continue to struggle on the ground, averaging just 95 yards a game to rank 26th in the league, and leading rusher Rashad Jennings has just one rushing TD.

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (4-6): The Redskins are 4-1 at home on the season with its lone loss coming in its season opener against the Dolphins. A week after humbling New Orleans, Washington rushed for just 14 yards on 12 attempts in a 44-16 setback at Carolina last time out. Still, the Redskins, who rank 27th in the NFL in total offense, are just a game back of the Giants and, despite Hatcher's complaints, they are the 11th least-penalized team in the league.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Redskins TE Jordan Reed left last week's game with a knee injury but practiced Wednesday, as did RB Alfred Morris (ribs).

2. The Giants are last in the league in pass defense, allowing 309.9 yards a game.

3. New York re-signed WR Hakeem Nicks after Victor Cruz was placed on IR.

Preview: Tampa Bay at Indianapolis

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, November 29, 2015
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana




The Indianapolis Colts are undefeated with 40-year-old Matt Hasselbeck starting under center and are hanging in at the top of the AFC South. Hasselbeck and the Colts will go up against a much younger quarterback when surging rookie Jameis Winston brings the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Indianapolis on Sunday.

Hasselbeck threw a pair of touchdown passes and got plenty of help from injured starter Andrew Luck while preparing for the 24-21 victory at Atlanta last week that lifted the Colts to .500 and kept them in first place in the South, and he’ll continue to seek Luck’s advice. “I pleaded with him, sort of begged him, ‘Hey, even though you’re hurt and you’re not with us, I need you to be with us,’” Hasselbeck told reporters. “He said, ‘Absolutely.’ I anticipate that he’ll be very helpful (and) my goal is really just to kind of hold the fort down until he gets back.” Winston has more in common with Luck as a former No. 1 overall draft pick and is dragging his team back to respectability with wins in four of the last six games. The Florida State product put on a show with five touchdown passes in a 45-17 victory at Philadelphia last week.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Colts -3 O/U: 46.5

ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS (5-5): Winston’s big day was possible in part because of the success of the running game, which opened up play action and throws downfield. Tampa Bay broke a team record with 283 rushing yards - 235 on 27 carries from Doug Martin - and became the first road team in NFL history with at least 200 yards rushing and five TD passes in the same game. “You talk about great running back, what do they have? Vision, instincts to know when to make a move,” Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith told reporters of Martin. “That’s what he’s been doing. … I think he’s kind of showed us everything a great running back should show people on a weekly basis."

ABOUT THE COLTS (5-5): Hasselbeck is just keeping the seat warm for Luck, who is not practicing as he heals from abdomen and kidney injuries. “As we take this thing day-to-day, week-to-week, whatever it is, (Luck’s) going to see the docs and they’ll communicate with him, he’ll communicate with them, they’ll communicate with us,” Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano told reporters. “Then, as he starts to heal and heal more, I’m sure then they’ll get him back out there and do whatever he can from a conditioning standpoint.” Indianapolis is dealing with an injury to another key piece in left tackle Anthony Castonzo, who suffered an MCL sprain in the fourth quarter at Atlanta and is week-to-week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Former Colts and Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy was named a Hall of Fame semifinalist.

2. Martin needs 59 yards to secure his second career 1,000-yard season and first since 2012.

3. Indianapolis RB Ahmad Bradshaw has three receiving TDs in the last two games.

Preview: Buffalo at Kansas City

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, November 29, 2015
Where: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri






The Kansas City Chiefs have come back from the dead, and they’ll try to improve their standing in the playoff picture when they host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in a matchup of AFC wild-card hopefuls. The Bills also are part of a four-way tie for that final playoff spot but are coming off a 20-13 loss at New England on Monday night.



The Chiefs are aiming for a fifth consecutive victory since falling to 1-5 and losing star running back Jamaal Charles to a season-ending knee injury. They’ve played their way back into position for the final wild card and are coming off back-to-back road wins over division rivals, including a dominant performance in a 33-3 victory at San Diego last week. “I’m proud of the guys for the character they have,” Kansas City coach Andy Reid told reporters. “Very easily could have gone the other way. … They played their hearts out, and they’ll continue to do that because that’s the way they’re wired.” The Chiefs also have a favorable schedule down the stretch, with the Bills representing their only opponent with a record of .500 or better.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Chiefs -6. O/U: 41.5



ABOUT THE BILLS (5-5): Buffalo has been solid at stopping the run, which bodes well against a fairly conservative Chiefs offense, and the defense typically keeps the team in games as long as the offense doesn’t implode. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been effective in three games since returning from injury, completing 64 percent of his passes for 572 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. LeSean McCoy also has gotten going with two straight 100-yard rushing performances before being limited to 82 and a touchdown against the Patriots.

ABOUT THE CHIEFS (5-5): Kansas City’s defense has been dominant during the winning streak and has not allowed more than 339 total yards in the last six games, holding the past three opponents under 300. The Chiefs also have been opportunistic, forcing at least one turnover in six straight contests with a total of 15 takeaways over that stretch. The ground game has been surprisingly effective despite losing Charles, as Charcandrick West (373 yards, three TDs) has excelled since taking over the starting role while rookie Spencer Ware rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns last week.



EXTRA POINTS

1. McCoy needs 98 yards from scrimmage to reach 10,000 in his career and has topped 100 in four straight games.

2. Kansas City has gone a franchise-record four straight contests without committing a turnover.

3. Chiefs QB Alex Smith has thrown a franchise-record 253 consecutive passes without an interception dating to Week 3, the longest streak in the NFL this season.

Preview: Oakland at Tennessee

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, November 29, 2015
Where: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee




The Oakland Raiders attempt to halt their three-game losing streak when they visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Oakland has not been victorious since trouncing the New York Jets on Nov. 1, falling to Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Detroit during a stretch that has put a serious dent in its hope to end a 12-year playoff drought.

The Raiders have struggled offensively of late, totaling 27 points in their last two contests after scoring at least 34 in each of their previous three games. Coming off its bye week, Tennessee is seeking its first home victory since Oct. 12, 2014. The Titans dropped to 0-5 at Nissan Stadium this season when they suffered their 10th consecutive loss in their own building on Nov. 15, a 27-10 setback to Carolina. Tennessee fell to 1-2 under interim coach Mike Mularkey when it came out on the wrong end of a 19-13 decision at Jacksonville on Nov. 19.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Raiders -1. O/U: 44

ABOUT THE RAIDERS (4-6): Oakland's offense produced very little against the Lions last week, gaining a season-low 214 yards. Derek Carr was held without a touchdown pass for the first time since the 2015 opener, ending his run of four straight games with at least two scoring tosses. Rookie Amari Cooper had just one reception after making at least four catches in each of his first nine NFL contests while Latavius Murray rushed for a season-worst 28 yards despite scoring the team's lone touchdown.

ABOUT THE TITANS (2-8): Marcus Mariota has thrown 13 touchdown passes this season, a team rookie record, but none over his last two games. Running back Dexter McCluster will not play against Oakland due to a knee injury, but wide receiver Kendall Wright is expected to return after missing three contests with a similar ailment. Tennessee ranks last in the AFC in scoring, averaging 18.2 points per game and totaling 23 in its last two games.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Carr's next 300-yard passing performance will make him the third quarterback in franchise history to record at least six in a season, joining Rich Gannon (10 in 2002) and Carson Palmer (six in 2012).

2. The Titans have won three straight meetings with the Raiders.

3. Oakland S Charles Woodson is one interception away from passing Ken Riley (65) for fifth place on the all-time list.

The Jacksonville Jaguars attempt to match their longest winning streak since 2007 when they host the struggling San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Jacksonville looks to post a third consecutive victory for the sixth time since capturing four in a row from Sept. 16-Oct. 14, 2007, during a season in which it last qualified for the playoffs.

The Jaguars edged the Ravens in Baltimore on Nov. 15 and topped Tennessee at home four days later before heading into their bye week. San Diego hopes to avoid its longest slide since dropping nine straight to end the 2001 season. The Chargers lost five in a row prior to their bye week and returned with a lackluster effort in a 33-3 home loss to Kansas City in Week 11. San Diego likes its chances of ending the skid, as it has won each of the last four meetings with Jacksonville.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Jaguars -4. O/U: 46.5

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (2-8): Philip Rivers threw for a season-low 178 yards against the Chiefs after recording a team-record five straight 300-yard performances. Two members of the Chargers are counting on Rivers in order to reach milestones. Wide receiver Malcom Floyd is two touchdown catches away from tying John Jefferson (36) for ninth place in club history while tight end Antonio Gates needs one TD reception to pass Hall-of-Famer Steve Largent (101) for 19th on the all-time list.

ABOUT THE JAGUARS (4-6): Jacksonville has played its way back into the race in the AFC South, as it sits only one game behind both Indianapolis and Houston for the division lead. Blake Bortles has thrown at least two touchdown passes in five of his last six games and has connected with wide receiver Allen Hurns for a score in seven of the last eight contests. Cornerback Aaron Colvin leads all NFL defensive backs with four sacks.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Chargers are 0-4 on the road this year and have lost five straight away from home dating to last season.

2. Jacksonville has not won three straight at home since the 2010 campaign.

3. Jaguars LB Telvin Smith is tied for second in the league with 97 tackles.

Preview: Miami at N.Y. Jets

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, November 29, 2015
Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey




Losses in four of its last five games have put the New York Jets' postseason hopes in peril. The Jets look to right the ship when they host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in a crucial AFC East battle among wild-card contenders.

New York got a career high 166 yards rushing from Chris Ivory in winning against Miami 27-14 earlier in the season. Since then, however, New York is just 2-4 and may be without cornerback Darrelle Revis and center Nick Mangold in the must-win contest. Miami has also watched its playoff hopes all but disappear. After the firing of coach Joe Philbin seemed to turn the Dolphins' season around with two straight wins, Miami has lost three of its last four games and it appears the Dolphins will miss the playoffs for the seventh straight season.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Jets 3.5. O/U: 42.5.

ABOUT THE JETS (5-5): Mangold, a key to the Jets' rushing attack, has been in and out of the lineup for several weeks while battling different injuries and suffered a severe cut on his hand last week. Revis sustained a concussion in last week's loss at Houston after the aging cornerback was burned for a long touchdown by DeAndre Hopkins. The Jets gave quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick a vote of confidence during the week despite throwing four interceptions in the past two weeks, both losses in games that New York was favored.

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (4-6): Miami's recent slide seems to have ended the chances that interim coach Dan Campbell will be back next year. The Dolphins have gotten strong play from Ndamukong Suh recently but still rank 26th in the league in total defense - the same as their inconsistent offense. Ryan Tannehill had two touchdown passes last week to give him 17 for the season. Running back Lamar Miller gained just 87 yards on the ground in the past two games, including last week's 24-14 home loss to Dallas, but he still leads the team with 565 yards rushing and five touchdowns.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Jets WRs Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker each have seven touchdown receptions.

2. The first meeting of the season was played at London.

3. Dolphins DE Cameron Wake, lost for the season two weeks ago, leads the team with seven sacks.

Preview: Arizona at San Francisco

When: 4:05 PM ET, Sunday, November 29, 2015
Where: Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, California




The Arizona Cardinals have a clear path to the NFC West title and go for their fifth consecutive victory when they visit the division-rival San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Owners of the league's highest-scoring offense with an average of 33.6 points per game, the high-powered Cardinals manhandled the 49ers 47-7 in Week 3.

Coach Bruce Arians has raised expectations in the desert, showing little satisfaction after Arizona eked out a 34-31 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. “It’s kind of sounding like a broken record, but I really didn’t like the way we played,” Arians told reporters. San Francisco coach Jim Tomsula faces an entirely different set of challenges with a roster that's been depleted because of retirements, free agency and injuries. The 49ers split two games since Tomsula benched Colin Kaepernick and installed Blaine Gabbert as the starting quarterback.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Cardinals -10.5. O/U: 44.5

ABOUT THE CARDINALS (8-2): Arizona collapsed down the stretch a year ago when Carson Palmer suffered a season-ending knee injury, but the veteran signal-caller is at the top of his game, throwing for a league-high 27 touchdown passes, including 11 over the past three games. Larry Fitzgerald has been the biggest beneficiary of a healthy Palmer, leading a deep and talented receiving corps with 73 catches and seven touchdowns. Running back Chris Johnson is in a mini-slump but had 110 yards and two TDs in the earlier meeting - a game in which Arizona had four interceptions.

ABOUT THE 49ERS (3-7): The Week 3 matchup was akin to a first-round KO after Arizona picked off Colin Kaepernick twice and returned each for a touchdown within the first six minutes to ignite the rout. Gabbert has yet to play with leading rusher Carlos Hyde, who has been out since Oct. 22 with a stress fracture in his foot and did not practice again Wednesday. Top receiver Anquan Boldin returned from a two-game injury absence and had five catches for 93 yards, but San Francisco must plug holes in a defense that permitted 209 rushing yards to Seattle rookie Thomas Rawls last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Fitzgerald needs 74 receiving yards to reach 1,000 for the seventh time in his career and first since 2011.

2. 49ers LB NaVorro Bowman has an NFC-leading 97 tackles.

3. The Cardinals are the only team to rank among the league's top five on offense and defense.
