| Game | Time (ET) | TV | Location |
| Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings | 1:00 PM | NFL NET | U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, MN |

Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings - 1:00 PM ET
The Colts are on a 3-game losing streak, and their last game was a Week 13, 54-19, blowout against the Cowboys in which Dallas scored 33 points in the 4th quarter. Veteran QB Matt Ryan through 3 INTs and has 13 TDs and 13 INTs for the season. Earlier in the season, Ryan was benched for backup Sam Ehlinger but Ehlinger wasn't able to secure the job when interim head coach Jeff Saturday took over. Former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles hasn't played this season but could play if Ryan continues to struggle. With the team coming off a bye, interim head coach Saturday has to make adjustments if the Horseshoes look to buck the trend and leave U.S. Bank with a win.

The Vikings are coming off an embarrassing 34-23 defeat against the Detroit Lions. They are second in the NFC, but there have been questions regarding how good the team actually is. 9 of their 10 wins were by 8 points or fewer but all of their losses have been by two scores or more, which gives the team a negative point differential. Kirk Cousins has struggled throughout his career on nationally televised games with an 11-19 record. However, the team has a 6-1 record at home which is an advantage heading into Saturday's game. If the Purple People Eaters can continue to defend home field and win close games against losing teams then they'll be able to stay in second place in the NFC.
Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns - 4:30 PM ET
In an NFC North showdown, newly-acquired Browns QB Deshaun Watson makes his nationally televised debut for the 2022 season. Two games into his return, Watson hasn't played to the Pro Bowl level he left off at before his legal troubles. So far in his 2022 campaign, Watson has gone 1-1 with 1 TD and 2 INTs, and a completion percentage of 59.4%, which is the lowest of his career.

The Ravens are first in the AFC North and third in the conference, but the Bengals are right on their heels as they both have the same record. Saturday's game is going to be tough due to injuries to former NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and backup QB Tyler Huntley. They've won 7 of their last 8 games and are currently on a 2-game winning streak. When they played the Browns in Week 7, Baltimore won on their home field 23-20. Historically, the Ravens have Cleveland's number, with a 35-12 all-time record and the Browns have only defeated the Purple & Black once since 2020.
Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills - 8:15 PM ET
The Dolphins head to Highmark Stadium for a critical game in the AFC East. They're coming off back-to-back losses after starting the season 8-3. The 2-game skid was on the West Coast and they'll head back east for another road game against a hot Bills team. QB Tua Tagovailoa has struggled during the losing streak with a 19.8 and 24.6 QBR in those losses. On the road, the Dolphins are 3-4 and they haven't won away from Miami since Week 9 against the Bears.

The Bills are on a 4-game winning streak and currently have the top seed in the AFC. QB Josh Allen has struggled this season but the Bills have been able to rally together. They're 2-2 in the AFC East and lost against Miami in Week 3, 21-19. They have been near perfect at home with a 5-1 record and they're 4-1 against the 'Fins since 2020. A win will clinch a postseason berth for the Bills but they can also get in with a tie by the following scenarios: Tie & LAC loss; Tie & NYJ loss & NE loss; Tie & NYJ loss & NE tie + LAC tie.
