Story lines for today’s NFL games

  • The Chargers can clinch a wild-card spot with a win over the Patriots in the first game of Saturday’s tripleheader. Los Angeles snapped a seven-game losing streak against New England last year with its 6-0 victory over the Patriots. It was the second-highest scoring game of the 2023 NFL season behind only Minnesota Vikings3-0 win over Las Vegas Raiders.
  • The Patriots have the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. A loss would give them a chance to move up to No. 1 overall, pending the result New York Giants vs. Indianapolis Colts game.
  • The Bengals must win to stay alive in the NFL’s postseason race. Not only will the Bengals hope to beat the Broncos, but the Colts and Miami Dolphins will also pull for Cincinnati. Denver can clinch a postseason berth with a win, so the AFC’s three 7-8 teams need the 9-win Broncos to lose to have a chance to make the playoffs.
  • The Rams will seek revenge on the Cardinals for a 41-10 loss in Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season. Los Angeles was without Puka Nacua in that game and saw Arizona smash its beleaguered defense for 489 yards. Marvin Harrison Jr. posted a career-high 130 yards and two touchdowns in that game. The Rams will look to limit him and stay ahead of the Seahawks in the tight NFC West race.
