Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season is a spectacle, with four crucial games between teams currently in playoff positions taking place on Sunday. The postseason picture is coming into focus as the regular season nears its end, and job security and future roster positions are at stake. Let's take a closer look at three of Sunday's standout matchups.

"NFL's Week 15: Playoff Battles Unfold"

Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions – 4:25 p.m. ET

Could Sunday's game at Ford Field be a Super Bowl preview? The Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions are both in top form. The Lions, after a historic season in Michigan, are arguably the best team in football. Their star-studded offensive lineup, led by coordinator Ben Johnson, is an unstoppable force, with running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs being key weapons. Gibbs is having an exceptional sophomore campaign, with 1,016 rushing yards and 312 receiving yards, along with 10 touchdowns on the ground and two through the air.

On the other hand, the Bills are two games behind the 12-1 Kansas City Chiefs but hold the tiebreak over the reigning Super Bowl champions. Quarterback Josh Allen made history with six touchdowns in their thrilling defeat to the Los Angeles Rams, staking his claim for the MVP award and a run to the Super Bowl. Both teams have already secured their playoff tickets and are battling for the No. 1 seed in their respective conferences.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Philadelphia Eagles – 4:25 p.m. ET

The 82nd edition of the "Battle for Pennsylvania" is a significant game for both teams. The 10-3 Steelers are almost guaranteed a playoff berth and lead the AFC North, while the 11-2 Eagles booked their spot following their Week 14 victory. With Russell Wilson at quarterback, the Steelers are looking strong, but they will be without star receiver George Pickens for the second straight game. The Eagles, on the other hand, are riding a nine-game winning streak and have the No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL led by Saquon Barkley. Barkley is on pace to set another historic milestone against the Steelers. If he gets 77 rushing yards on Sunday, he will become the fourth player since 2000 with at least 1,700 rushing yards in his first 14 games of a season.

However, the Steelers' defense is tough, allowing the fourth-fewest rushing yards all season. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said his team is focused on the task at hand and not distracted by other scenarios. These teams are set for a tough battle.

Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks – 8:20 p.m. ET

Sunday Night Football presents a clash between two likely playoff teams. The Seattle Seahawks lead the NFC West at 8-5 and could be kingmakers with their division rivals playing one another down the stretch. The 9-4 Packers have the third-best record in the NFC North but sit sixth in the NFC playoff standings. Both teams have dynamic offenses; the Seahawks have the third-best passing attack, while the Packers have the fifth-best rushing offense.

The arrival of running back Josh Jacobs has added a new dimension to the Packers' offense. He is third in the league in rushing yards and has 11 rushing touchdowns. Paired with the recent hot streak of Jordan Love, the QB is third in passer rating over the last four weeks, making their offense potent. But they will face a tough challenge against Seattle's offense led by coordinator Ryan Grubb. Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is second in the NFL in passing yards and has a plethora of options in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, DK Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett. Smith-Njigba's emergence has been a bright spot for the Seahawks.

With both offenses firing on all cylinders, Sunday's action could be a high-scoring affair.
