It’s about time for the very last quadrupleheader of the 2025 NFL season. Today, the last international game on the schedule kicks off, this one from Madrid, Spain where the Washington Commanders and Miami
Dolphins face off. That game starts a big day across the NFL, with a number of important divisional matchups on the schedule.
That big day of intra-division games gets underway with four of them in the early afternoon time slot. At 12 noon Central, football fans get games in the AFC and NFC North and South divisions:
- NFC North: Bears-Vikings
- NFC South: Panthers-Falcons
- AFC North: Bengals-Steelers
- AFC South: Texans-Titans
That should be a fun set of matchups early, but the late afternoon is where the really impressive divisional games kick off. There are four games starting at either 3:05 or 3:25 PM Central, and all four are divisional rivalries. On FOX, the entire NFC West is in action, with Seahawks-Rams set up as a battle of the NFL’s top two teams in DVOA as well as a fight for the #1 spot in that division. 49ers-Cardinals takes place at the same time, though neither game gets a very wide TV audience.
That’s because CBS has a big AFC West game as their doubleheader contest, as the Chiefs and Broncos face off with Kansas City sitting 2.5 games back coming in. If the Broncos could pull out a win today, that would make it an extraordinarily difficult challenge for the Chiefs to overcome if they hope to win their division for a whopping 10th straight season.
There’s also a Ravens-Browns game on at the same time, but let’s face it, that’s the least exciting of those four late afternoon games. Then the schedule wraps up with what should be another great game in prime time. It’s not a divisional matchup, but two of the NFC’s top teams will still be meeting as the Detroit Lions visit the Philadelphia Eagles.
Strap in for a big day around the NFL and discuss all of the games here in the comments.
