Sunday at 4:25 p.m., the Bills 10-3 and the 12-1 Lions will start in Detroit, and at the same time the Steelers 10-3 and the Eagles 11-2 will start in Philadelphia. This gives the NFL a superb pair of end -of -season matches, as football fans rarely have the opportunity to experience them.
The last time the NFL played two different games between teams with two-digit victories during week 15 or before, it was in 1985. That year, week 15 saw the Bears 13-1 Beat the jets 10-4, while the dolphins 10-4. Beat the Patriots 10-4.
Bills-Lions and Steelers-Eagles form an excellent pair of matches, but the misfortune is that they start simultaneously, which means that football fans cannot pay all their attention to the two. Many fans will look at two screens, one showing Bills-Lions on CBS and the other showing Steelers-Eagles on Fox, but it would have been great to have at least one of these games during great listening hours.
These are two of the best games of the season, with major implications for the classification of the playoffs in the two conferences. And it may be just a taste of the Super Bowl.
