NFL Schedule 2023 : Week 15 Regular Season

NFL Week 15 Schedule

Week 15 means much more NFL action throughout the week as we get to see NFL games being played on Saturdays as well. Normally as the college football season draws to an end, and there are less number of games on Saturdays, the NFL schedules their games from the middle of December on Saturdays to provide fans with more entertainment.

The Los Angeles Chargers will open the week as they visit the Las Vegas Raiders for the week’s first game. This game takes place between two teams who know each other quite well being rivals from the AFC West. The game will be played at the Raiders’ new Allegiant Stadium which is also the host of this year’s Super Bowl.

Below is the complete schedule for Week 15:

Game on Thursday, December 14

• Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders

The Chargers will make the short trip to Vegas and take on the Raiders in this week’s Thursday Night Football Game. On paper, this should be a victory for the Chargers but stranger things are known to happen in this league. The Chargers will no doubt be looking to come away with a much-needed win though. They won the first game of the season in Los Angeles in week 4 by a score of 24-17.

Having let go of their head coach, Josh McDaniels around the midway point of the season, the Raiders should be settling into the new system under interim head coach Antonio Pierce although it will take time to turn things around.

Games on Saturday, December 16

These games are yet to be decided.

Games on Sunday, December 17

• New York Jets at Miami Dolphins

One of the more important games in week 15 brings the New York Jets to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens to play the Dolphins. This AFC East matchup is important for the larger scheme of things as the playoffs are drawing nearer.

The Jets season could have been so much different this year had Aaron Rodgers not gotten injured. With a legitimate defense, the Jets offense has struggled throughout the year and is the main reason for their current record.

As for the Dolphins, they have looked unstoppable against lesser to mediocre teams, but it has been a different story when they come up against formidable sides and good defenses in general.

• Dallas Cowboys at Buffalo Bills

Another intriguing matchup this Sunday is the Dallas Cowboys against the Buffalo Bills. Both teams from different conferences require a win to make a push toward the playoffs. The Cowboys need to keep pace with the runaway Eagles while the Bills are in contention with the Dolphins and Jets within their division.

Going by how things have developed so far this season, the Cowboys' defense should be able to handle the Bills' offense whereas the same cannot be said the other way around.

• Philadelphia Eagles at Seattle Seahawks

Another late afternoon kickoff game features the Philadelphia Eagles and the Seattle Seahawks playing at Lumen Field. These are two good teams that can lead to a great game. Philadelphia for their part is looking comfortable but the Seahawks need to win this game to keep the pressure on the San Francisco 49ers.

• Baltimore Ravens at Jacksonville Jaguars

Sunday Night Football on NBC has a huge clash lined up as the Baltimore Ravens fly down South to tackle the Jacksonville Jaguars. Both teams have been looking excellent this season and leading from the front is their quarterback, Lamar Jackson and Trevor Lawrence.

The Jaguars were supposed to have the AFC South locked up but they need to be wary of the sneaky Houston Texans having one heck of a year under rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. The Ravens, though, cannot afford to take things lightly even though the AFC North has lost both Joe Burrow and Deshaun Watson, the Ravens need to keep winning to claim the all-important number 1 spot in the conference.

Game on Monday, December 18

• Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots

The Kansas City Chiefs take on the New England Patriots at Foxborough in this week 15 Monday Night Football Game. Although the game is given a prime time slot, it should end up being anything but that. If things are to go by, the Chiefs should be able to pick up the win in a relatively comfortable fashion as the Patriots are just not a side that can pose too many problems.

Having said that, the Chiefs have struggled all throughout the season on the offense, and putting up points has been a huge concern for them.

Teams with Bye Week

No teams have a bye week for week 15.
