As the NFL season nears its end, every game counts more. Teams are scrapping for playoff spots or better draft positions. This week, six teams are taking a break, leaving fans with exciting matchups on Sunday. Let's dive into three key games.

First up, the San Francisco 49ers face the Green Bay Packers at 4:25 p. m. ET. The 49ers, with a 5-5 record, have been hit hard by injuries. Star running back Christian McCaffrey is back, but the team is still struggling. The Packers, led by young quarterback Jordan Love, are flourishing. This game could significantly impact the 49ers' playoff hopes.

Next, the Arizona Cardinals take on the Seattle Seahawks at 4:25 p. m. ET. The Cardinals, winners of four straight, are hot. Quarterback Kyler Murray is playing error-free football, with just two turnovers in that span. The Seahawks, despite recent struggles, had a big win against the 49ers last week. This NFC West clash could affect division standings.

Finally, the Philadelphia Eagles, on a six-game winning streak, face the Los Angeles Rams at 8:20 p. m. ET. The Eagles' rushing attack, led by Saquon Barkley, is impressive. Barkley could set records if he continues his impressive performance. The Rams are also on a winning streak and have key players returning from injury.
