With just three weeks left in the 2025 NFL regular season, the playoff picture is starting to sharpen-and Week 16 brings a Saturday doubleheader that could shake up the NFC standings in a big way. For the first time this season, Saturday football returns, and both matchups carry major storylines, even if only one of them features two teams still in the postseason hunt.
Let’s break it down.
Game 1: Eagles at Commanders - 5 p.m. ET (FOX)
This one might not have the playoff stakes we expected back in September, but don’t let that fool you-there’s still plenty on the line. The Eagles head to Landover to face a Commanders squad that’s already been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention. But here's the thing: teams with nothing to lose are often the most dangerous.
Washington’s season has been derailed by injuries, and while their focus may be shifting toward 2026 and the upcoming NFL Draft, don't expect them to roll over. They’re playing spoiler now, and that’s a role they’ve embraced before.
For Philadelphia, this is about staying sharp and stacking wins. With playoff seeding still in flux, the Eagles can’t afford a misstep against a division rival, no matter what the records say.
The Eagles will need to bring their A-game, especially on the road. Divisional games have a way of getting weird, and this one has all the makings of a trap if Philly isn’t locked in from kickoff.

Game 2: Packers at Bears - 8:20 p.m. ET (FOX)
Now this is the main event.
The Packers and Bears renew one of the NFL’s most historic rivalries with everything on the line. Playoff berths, the NFC North crown, and bragging rights-it’s all in play Saturday night at Soldier Field.
These two just met in Week 14, with Green Bay pulling out a 28-21 win. But this rematch has a different feel.
The Bears enter as the NFC’s No. 2 seed, holding a narrow half-game lead over the Packers. Chicago’s defense has been the backbone of its run, and with the postseason in sight, they’ll look to tighten the screws even further.
For Green Bay, the challenge is steepened by the loss of a major defensive piece. Star linebacker Micha Parsons suffered a torn ACL in Week 15, ending his season and leaving a massive hole in the Packers’ front seven. That’s a tough blow at any time, but especially now, with a division title hanging in the balance.
Expect a physical, emotional battle between two teams that know each other well-and know what’s at stake. Soldier Field will be rocking, and this one could come down to the final possession.

And the nightcap? That’s playoff football in December, plain and simple.
Packers. Bears.
Soldier Field. Division on the line.
Yeah, we’ll be watching.
