Major division games highlight a holiday weekend completely overrun with NFL games.
Solomon Wilcots, former NFL safety and current NFL ON CBS analyst, discusses three important week 16 matchups in the AFC.
The last time the San Francisco 49ers came to Los Angeles to play the Rams, it was 1994. The Niners would go on to win the Super Bowl that season, but the 2016 version of the San Francisco franchise is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Losers of 13 straight games since beating the Rams in Week 1, the 49ers are the worst team in the conference this year. That means L.A. could find itself on the winning side of the scoreboard this Saturday.
The Green Bay Packers, once 4-6 and fading, are now 8-6 and in control of their playoff destiny. So much for doubting Aaron Rodgers.
The Los Angeles Rams came into Thursday Night Football with a three-game win streak against the Seattle Seahawks, but with the NFC West Division title on the line in front of a home crowd, the Seahawks didn't fuss around with the Rams.
The Patriots and Broncos square off Sunday, pitting New England's pyrotechnic offense against Denver's granite defense.
Even as controversy swirls, Dak and the Cowboys will get the job done in Dallas while Matt Stafford and the Lions keep control of the NFC North with a win over Big Blue.
As the Los Angeles Rams head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in a Thursday Night Football matchup, not only are they going to playing for a new interim head coach, but the team will once again be without backup running back and primary kick returner Benny Cunningham.
Both the Rams and Seahawks look to turn things around on Thursday Night Football after blowout losses in Week 14.
NFL Hall of Famer and CBS NFL Analyst, Dan Fouts, discusses three key AFC games with playoff implications in Week 15.
With the firing of Jeff Fisher on Monday, rumors are swirling about the next head coach of the Los Angeles Rams. Two names are circulating prominently: former NFL coaches Jon Gruden and Jim Harbaugh. Hiring Harbaugh would be a big mistake for the Rams, and a young coach like Kyle Shanahan would be the smartest move for the franchise.
This season has gone south in a hurry for the Los Angeles Rams, losers of eight in their last nine games now after a 3-1 start to the 2016 season. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks recovered from a loss to the Rams in Week 2 to put themselves in position to clinch the NFC West Division this Thursday night with a win over Los Angeles at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
If Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher wasn't under fire already, losing 42-14 at home to the Atlanta Falcons isn't going to help his case. The Rams defense was helpless against the best offense in the NFL on Sunday, allowing the first 42 points of the game to the Falcons.
The Los Angeles Rams face another great offense on Sunday when the Atlanta Falcons come to town, and they may have to face Matt Ryan & Co. without defensive Robert Quinn. He is dealing with a concussion that kept him out of the game last week, and the L.A. defense will be hard pressed to slow down the Falcons offense without Quinn on the field.
The Buccaneers may be the NFL's most overlooked playoff contender, and not without reason. Can they change perceptions?
There are just four weeks left in the NFL's regular season and the importance of each game is compounded by the fact that time is of the essence.
Tracy Wolfson, CBS Sports' lead sideline reporter, discusses Sunday's Steelers-Bills game, a matchup between AFC playoff hopefuls.
Somewhat like wide receiver Isaac Bruce in 1995, the Los Angeles Rams are getting a great season from WR Kenny Britt in 2016 despite not having a consistently good quarterback to throw him the ball. The 28-year-old former first-round pick from Rutgers is having the best season of his career despite the Rams' offensive struggles this year.
When the Atlanta Falcons and the Los Angeles Rams were division rivals in the old NFL alignment from 1967 to 2001, there weren't that many seasons when the Falcons were the ones chasing the playoff spot while the Rams were chasing their own tails. But that's the case in 2016, as the two teams play each other for the first time since 2013.
The Chiefs seem to be perennial contenders, but never quite good enough to make the Super Bowl. This season might be different.
Despite the recent news that Head Coach Jeff Fisher had been signed to an extension, the Los Angeles Rams came out flat on Sunday in New England. The Patriots took a 17-0 lead in the first half and never looked back in a 26-10 victory that dropped the Rams to 4-8 this year with four games left to play. This loss guarantees a 13th-straight non-winning season for Los Angeles.
It's been a tough day for the Rams all around in New England, including coach Jeff Fisher.
The Los Angeles Rams are 4-7, and with a road contest against the New England Patriots on the schedule this weekend, it's not looking good for the team to avoid another non-winning season. One reason the Rams haven't been able to finish at .500 or better since 2004 is due to injuries this year on the defensive side. However, as the L.A. organization prepares for its game against the Pats, it's actually the offensive side of the roster that is experiencing the biggest injuries woes currently.
The Dallas Cowboys are the NFL's best team, thanks to a mature Prescott, a bulldozing Elliott and a stout offensive line.
