Five things to look out for in Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season

This season is deep in its stretch run but Week 16 still offers some excellent matchups. Here, DAZN lists five storylines to look out for with Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season.

A big AFC West tilt

The Denver Broncos (9-5) and Los Angeles Chargers (8-6) are very much in the hunt for a playoff spot, making this AFC West divisional matchup a big game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on Thursday Night Football.

Houston tests itself in Kansas City

The Houston Texans (9-5) are having a solid season, having already clinched the AFC South.

But there’s nothing quite like testing yourself against the defending back-to-back Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (13-1) at Arrowhead Stadium. Let’s see how what the Texans are made of against Patrick Mahomes and company in Kansas City.

A battle for the AFC North

With the Pittsburgh Steelers 10-4 and Baltimore Ravens 9-5, Saturday’s game in B’more has heavy implications for the AFC North and the playoffs overall.

The last time these two division rivals met, the Steelers continued their stronghold over Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, edging them 18-16, in a game that had kicker Chris Boswell accounting for all of Pittsburgh’s points with six field goals.

What’s going to give in this rematch?

Philadelphia Eagles look to keep streak going

The Philadelphia Eagles are the hottest team in the NFL, running their win streak up to 10 consecutive games.

Will the Washington Commanders have a say at home in snapping that streak?

The last time these two division rivals clashed, the Eagles won 26-28, with Saquon Barkley running roughshod with 146 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 26 carries.

The Seahawks look for the upset at home against the Vikings

At 11-2, the Minnesota Vikings have already clinched a playoff spot. At 8-6, the Seattle Seahawks are trying to follow suit.

A win would go long ways toward helping their cause in a crowded, competitive NFC.
