NFL football schedule and Streaming guide: How to watch football games online this weekend

The NFL schedule is winding down. Week 16 sees some key AFC matchups that could shape the playoff picture. 

The AFC Playoff Picture

In the AFC, the Patriots loss to the Colts, coupled with a huge Bills victory over the Panthers sets up an AFC East showdown on CBS this weekend. The Steelers –  half a game back in the AFC North – will head to Kansas City to face the AFC West-leading Chiefs. 

The NFC Playoff Picture

In the NFC, the Eagles held on for a Week 15 win that sees their playoff pictures still alive. But the Cowboys still own the NFC East and #2 overall in the NFC after beating the Giants. The Packers are still the #1 seed in the NFC. Despite a loss to the Saints, the Bucaneers still hold the top spot in the NFC South while the Cardinals hold the tiebreaker over the Rams in the NFC West. 

Here's how to stream and watch the remaining NFL schedule of games and the playoffs.
