Five key NFL games to watch during the Ravens Week 14 Bye
The Baltimore Ravens (8-5) are off this week and on a much-needed bye. John Harbaugh’s team won’t be expected back at the Under Armour Performance Center until Monday.
Even with six teams off, the Week 14 slate of games around the NFL must go on, and several high-profile games are being televised.
We’re looking at five key NFL games to watch in Week 14 with the Ravens on their bye.
Prime Video Packers (9-3) vs. Lions (11-1)
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (10) passes the ball against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. The Lions won the game, 24-14.
The Packers and Lions square off with NFC North implications, and both teams could be a potential for an AFC club in the Super Bowl.

Cleveland upset the Browns a few weeks ago in the snow, and Baltimore will be watching to see if Jameis Winston and crew can get the season sweep and keep the Ravens in reach of the division title.

It’s an AFC West showdown, and Baltimore’s potential wild-card opponent is the Chargers.
CBS Jets (3-9) vs. Dolphins (5-7)

A Dolphins loss would benefit the Ravens.
Following their Thanksgiving night loss, the Dolphins have just a 10% chance of securing a playoff berth. Therefore, they have minimal margin for error moving forward. A Jets win would increase Baltimore’s playoff chances.

The Bengals face the Broncos and Steelers down the stretch. A Cincinnati win keeps their slim playoff hopes alive and keeps Cincinnati motivated to play well in the season finale against the Steelers.
