Week 14 means that we are officially in the month of December and the NFL season is nearly three months into its schedule. The cold has started to seep into the cities and with it brings newer and tougher challenges as look to acclimatize to the snowy and windy conditions. It’s one thing just being out in these conditions, but to play a game of American football is another.

We kick off week 14 with the New England Patriots, who head on over to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers for the week’s Thursday Night Football Game. Although both these teams belong to different divisions within the AFC, this is not the typical rivalry per se, however, there are bragging rights to be won here as these are the two most successful franchises in the Super Bowl era of the NFL.

Below is the complete schedule for Week 14:

Game on Thursday, December 7

• New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers

Under normal circumstances, this has been a big game for the past several years especially when Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger were going head-to-head and battling it out on the turf. However, post these two legendary quarterbacks of the game, this rivalry has lost some of its shine of late.

Especially considering how dismal the Patriots' current season is going, they do not have much to play for except pride. On the other hand, the Steelers who are in a tough division in the AFC North need to take this game as seriously as possible to make sure they do not slip up and hand the advantage to the other teams in their division.

Games on Sunday, December 10

• Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers

This Sunday afternoon game between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Franciso 49ers promises to live up to the billing. Both teams are divisional opponents from the NFC West and are in the race to finish on top spot in the division. A win for either team here will be more than beneficial as they prepare to consolidate their places in the postseason.

Both teams met just a couple of weeks ago when the 49ers dismantled the Seahawks on their home turf with a score of 31-13, which gave them the edge in the battle for the top spot. The Seahawks need to play a much better game if they are to have any chance of winning.

• Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs

The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs have become somewhat of a mini rivalry, especially in the past few seasons. Their epic duel in the 2022 AFC Divisional Round game which finished with a crazy ending got fans all excited as they thought that Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen could become the next Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

Sadly though, the Bills have had their struggles this season and are not looking as sharp as they were a couple of years ago. Having said that, the Chiefs have also struggled on the offense as their wide receivers are just not cutting it. Nevertheless, it is definitely an important game for both sides.

• Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys

Another NFC divisional clash as this time it is the NFC East. The Philadelphia Eagles will travel to AT&T Stadium in Texas to go up against the Dallas Cowboys. This will be a rematch of the week 9 showdown which was a close game edged out by the Eagles 28-23. Over the years, this game has become quite the rivalry.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys need to get a win over the Eagles here as they try to close the gap at the top between themselves and the number-one seed in the NFC. Philadelphia for its part, even with the struggles of an injured Jalen Hurts, has managed to keep winning games and power forward.

Games on Monday, December 11

• Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins

The Tennessee Titans make the trip to Florida as they are pitted against the Miami Dolphins in this Monday Night Football Prime Time event. Two teams with contrasting results this season will go head-to-head with different reasons to win the game.

For the Dolphins, they need this win to keep control of the AFC East as the Bills are still a dangerous team on their day. For the Titans, it's more about getting into a rhythm especially with Will Levis earning the starting role a few weeks ago.

• Green Bay Packers at New York Giants

The Second Monday Night Football Game this week features the Green Bay Packers against the New York Giants. Normally this would have made for a great prime-time game, but this season both franchises are struggling and do not have much to play for. Yet, a win is a win and it improves the overall record, so we can expect both teams to give it their best shot.

Teams with Bye Week

The Arizona Cardinals and the Washington Commanders both have a bye week in week 14.
