The Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals are both still in the hunt for an AFC wild card spot, although the odds of the Bengals clinching it are low (and drop to zero if they lose against the Ravens on Sunday). The Ravens still have a chance of making it to the playoffs, but with a remaining schedule that includes matchups against the Patriots, Packers, and Steelers, it’s going to be a difficult road ahead. The Ravens and the Bengals will meet at Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium for an early game on Sunday, kicking off at 1 p.m. ET.
The Ravens vs. Bengals game will air in select markets on CBS and it will stream on Paramount+. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch this and every other Week 15 game.

How to watch NFL games in 2025:
Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna) or finding a live TV streaming service that carries the correct RSN (Regional Sports Network). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $7 monthly subscription to NFL+ will let you watch every out-of-market-game local and primetime game in the season on your phone — but only a select few regular season games on your TV. You could also spring for the uber-expensive NFL Sunday Ticket package to get every out-of-market Sunday game of the season.

When it comes to nationally broadcast games, NFL games typically air across ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and NFL Network. Thursday Night Football games stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, select football games will stream exclusively on Peacock, games on CBS will stream live on Paramount+, and Monday Night Football games will air on ESPN or ABC and stream on the newly revamped ESPN+ this season. That’s six channels and four streaming platforms to keep up with this season — and that’s not counting your local RSN’s for in-market games and an NFL+ or NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for out-of-market games. Plus, Netflix is once again hosting at least two Christmas Day matches, so add that subscription into the mix. And we can’t forget about Fox One, Fox’s first streaming service, a place where you can also stream games airing on FOX (if you don’t already have access to it).
Confused? You’re not alone. Here’s a breakdown of the platforms we recommend checking out ahead of the 2025 NFL season, so that come game time, tuning into your favorite team’s games will be as easy as simply turning on the TV.
- Free trial available
- Unlimited cloud DVR storage
- Free ESPN unlimited
- Entirely sports-focused

Every way to watch NFL games this season:
To recap, here are all the ways you can watch NFL games in 2025.
Merrill Kelly reportedly returns to Diamondbacks on 2-year, $40 million deal
Merrill Kelly has no ill will toward the Arizona Diamondbacks. Months after the team traded him to the Texas Rangers, Kelly reportedly returned to his former franchise, agreeing to a two-year, $40 million deal to rejoin Arizona, per multiple reports.
Kelly, 37, is coming off a season in which he posted a 3.52 ERA over 184 innings split between the Diamondbacks and Rangers.

Kelly’s career has taken quite a few turns since he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2010. After putting up solid numbers in the minors with the Rays, Kelly never got the call to the majors. He eventually decided to play in Korea, signing with the SK Wyverns in 2015 and spending four years in the Korea Baseball Organization.
He returned to the majors in 2019, signing a two-year deal with the Diamondbacks. His first year back wasn’t smooth. Kelly had a 4.91 ERA over his first 27 starts in the majors. Threatened with a demotion, he rebounded down the stretch, posting a 2.18 ERA over his final five starts. Those starts might have saved his MLB career.
Kelly looked solid in just five starts in 2020 before an injury shut him down for the season. He then put up an average year in 2021, posting a 4.44 ERA over 158 innings.
The following year, however, Kelly found another gear. He led the league with 33 starts, posting a 3.37 ERA over 200 1/3 innings. And those improvements have stuck. Since 2022, Kelly has a 3.47 ERA over 108 starts in the majors. He became the Diamondbacks’ de-facto ace over that period and started Game 2 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers in 2023.

Kelly isn’t known for elite velocity or big strikeout numbers, instead succeeding thanks to a large repertoire of pitches and pinpoint location. That can sometimes be a tough line to walk in the majors, but it has helped Kelly remain effective as he has reached his late 30s. While he has dealt with some injuries during his career, Kelly has mostly been durable, tossing at least 150 innings in four of his past five seasons.
The Diamondbacks clearly believe Kelly can continue to put up strong numbers despite his age, signing him through his age-38 season. The team will need him early, as ace Corbin Burnes will miss the start of the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Kelly might not be the flashiest starter, but he has proven to be a valuable rotation piece after some early-career struggles. After a brief departure to Texas, it’s only fitting that Kelly returns to Arizona — the place he blossomed into a reliable pitcher — for one more ride.
NFL weather in Week 15: How snow and frigid temperatures will impact multiple games
December on the East Coast and in the Midwest usually means one thing: extreme cold. Though temperatures are dropping thanks to cold air making its way south from Canada, NFL games must go on, and a quite a few of them will be impacted by frigid temperatures in Week 15.
The coldest game of the week is expected to be the Chicago Bears vs. the Cleveland Browns. The game — which will take place in Chicago — has a high of 12, with a wind chill of -19, per Weather.com. While no snow is expected to fall during the game, winds could reach up to 22 mph. That could make for a run-heavy game, one people expect to see from the Bears on a cold December afternoon. The Browns, of course, are no strangers to freezing cold. It was an average of 25 in Cleveland on Saturday.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will need to battle the elements for yet another week. After playing a snow game against the Buffalo Bills last week, Burrow will battle extreme cold in Week 15. Temperatures in Cincinnati will hit a high of 13 with a wind chill of -11. After losing to the Bills last week, the 4-9 Bengals are dangerously close to being eliminated from the playoffs. The team needs a late-season rally, and some help if it wants to reach the postseason. Burrow will need to find a way to overcome the conditions in Week 15 after two key fourth-quarter turnovers sunk Cincinnati last week.
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Temperatures will sit around 23 in Kansas City, though the wild chill is -5. Winds shouldn’t be too bad, topping out at 5-10 mph.

At 6-7, the Chiefs also need to rally to secure a playoff spot. The team sits 10th in the AFC and could be eliminated from contention in Week 15 — though that’s dependent on the outcome of multiple games. While the Chiefs haven’t been a powerhouse this year, Patrick Mahomes is 26-7 in December over his career. If anyone can singlehandedly pull the Chiefs into the postseason, it’s Mahomes, who will need to do it against a the rival Chargers, who beat the Chiefs all the way back in Week 1.
Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots
The best NFL game of the week will be affected by poor weather. It’s a high of 33 in Foxborough, with a wind chill of 17. While the temperature won’t dip into the negative, snow could impact this one.
Snow is expected at least before the game and could continue into the contest. Weather.com is calling for light snow, so it might not throw either team too far off their game plans. And after enduring snow — and winning — in Week 14, the Bills are well-equipped to deal with the elements as they go on the road to take on the AFC East leader.

One player doesn’t seem bothered by any of that. Wideout Mack Hollins arrived Sunday shirtless and shoeless as he prepares to take on the Bills.
Washington Commanders vs. New York Giants
Snow is expected in East Rutherford, New Jersey, ahead of the Commanders-Giants game, though it should clear up around game time. Once the snow clears up, it won’t be a pleasant game. Temperatures will sit around 32, with a wind chill of 12. And winds will span from 13 to 17 mph at game time.
With both teams out of the playoffs, there’s not much on the line in the contest. Though you can bet both teams are eager to take down a division rival in freezing temperatures.

Las Vegas Raiders vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Some early snow shouldn’t last into game time, though wind could be a factor. Winds are expected to be around 20 mph during game time. It will be a high of 34 in Philadelphia on Sunday, with a wind chill of 11. It won’t be the coldest game on the slate, but weather could still play a role.
After a rough week, the Eagles desperately need to overcome the elements and pick up a win in Week 15. While the team is in strong playoff position, there’s been some uneasiness about the Eagles’ season so far, with some asking whether the team should bench quarterback Jalen Hurts. That’s not a consideration now, or even if the Eagles lose this game, but the cries will get much, much louder if Philadelphia can’t overcome the 2-11 Raiders on Sunday.
