How to Watch TNF: Cowboys-Vikings:Live stream, tv info

After sending Washington home with a loss on Thanksgiving, the Dallas Cowboys return to Thursday Night Football for a matchup against  the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings started off 5-0 after losing Teddy Bridgewater and trading for quarterback Sam Bradford but since then have lost five of their last six and are in must win mode.

Missing Adrian Peterson has hurt them along with other key players on both the offensive line and defense. The Cowboys have a few injuries of their own. Although they should have safety Barry Church back this week, it’s looking like they’ll be without safety J.J. Wilcox and linebacker Justin Durant. Of course, injuries haven’t stopped the Cowboys from winning ten in a row. Lead by rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, the Cowboys are off to one of the best starts in franchise history. The Vikings defense started off hot during their five-game winning streak but it has given up some big plays in recent weeks. Xavier Rhodes has been one of the better corners in the league this year so it’ll be interesting to see when Dez Bryant lines up across from him.

Dallas can clinch a playoff birth with a win and a Tampa Bay loss/tie or a win and a Washington loss.

Packers vs. Eagles 2016: Time, live TV schedule for 'Monday Night Football'

The Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers are clinging to fading playoff hopes, making their Monday Night Football clash a must-win for both sides. These teams are on the periphery of the NFC wild card race and will need a strong finish in December if they want to keep playing in January.

Seeing the Packers in must-win mode is unusual, but that's where they find themselves after yet another listless performance dropped them to 4-6. The defense had almost no answers for Kirk Cousins, who threw for three touchdowns and 375 yards as Washington romped to a 42-24 win on Sunday night. The Packers lost their fourth straight game, putting even more heat on head coach Mike McCarthy.

The NFC North looks like it'll be wide open this year, but after the Detroit Lions beat the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving to go 7-4, Green Bay's margin for error has evaporated. The Packers will need everything they can get from Aaron Rodgers, who broke out of his slump with 351 yards and three touchdowns against Washington.

The Packers' fatal flaw has been their defense, which is 18th in yards allowed per game and 27th in points allowed per game. Losing starting cornerbacks Sam Shield and Damarious Randall to injury has hurt the secondary, and it's fair to wonder if GM Ted Thompson regrets letting Casey Hayward walk in free agency. (He's having a strong season with the San Diego Chargers.) The Packers have a stagnant roster propped up by an all-time great QB, and their weaknesses have been exposed this season like never before.

The Eagles don't quite have the same identity crisis, but they certainly regret squandering a 3-0 start to fall to 5-5. Although Philly is still alive in the postseason race, it's in last place in the NFC East and will need a wild card spot to keep playing in January. That will be a tall order with the teams ahead of them in the division (New York Giants and Washington) holding both wild card spots.

Since that three-game winning streak to start the season, the Eagles have dropped five of seven games, the last one being a stinker against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. The Seahawks at home have a knack for making otherwise strong teams look like chumps, but the Eagles were barely competitive in the 25-16 loss. Carson Wentz truly hit the rookie wall, throwing two interceptions and looking like a deer in headlights at times. The No. 2 overall pick has thrown just two touchdowns to four interceptions in his last three games.

Compounding matters for the Eagles is the spectacular failure of wide receiver Nelson Agholor. A first-round pick in 2015, Agholor has been an abject disaster this season, dropping easy passes and lining up wrong on multiple occasions. He'll likely see less playing time this week with Jordan Matthews and Dorial Green-Beckham carrying the load.

With both teams facing a free fall, this Monday night game should have a sense of urgency around it, making the game a potentially entertaining affair as the Eagles and Packers try to save their seasons.

Chiefs vs. Broncos live stream: How to watch 'Sunday Night Football' online

Two AFC West rivals will take the field in a primetime showdown that will solidify one team’s playoff standing and leave the other twisting in the wind. The 7-3 Kansas City Chiefs will travel west for a pivotal matchup with the 7-3 Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football.

The AFC West has staked a claim as the NFL’s toughest division this fall. Three teams — Kansas City, Denver, and Oakland — have seven wins or more in 2016. Only the NFC East has more than one team that can claim the same. While the Raiders held down the top spot after Week 11, the Chiefs and Broncos were in prime position to vie for the conference’s two wild card spots.

However, the loser of Sunday night’s game could be in trouble. At 7-4, the West’s third-place team will have to fend off a challenge from an ascendant Miami squad. The Dolphins turned a 1-4 start into a 6-4 record behind a revitalized offense led by tailback Jay Ajayi. They host a 1-9 49ers team on Sunday, and a win will give them a stake in the conference’s second wild card spot.

Kansas City will be trying to stop a one-game slide from turning into a streak after an upset loss at the hands of Tampa Bay last weekend. The Chiefs struggled to stop Jameis Winston, who threw for more than 330 yards in the win. More importantly, they had trouble finding the end zone, scoring only 17 points the week before facing one of the NFL’s scariest defenses.

While Kansas City will draw an easier assignment at quarterback, things will only get tougher for Alex Smith’s offense. Trevor Siemian has struggled in his first season as an NFL starter, completing barely 60 percent of his passes and posting one of the league’s lowest quarterback ratings. Denver ranks 27th in the league in total offense this fall, thanks, in part, to Siemian’s low-efficiency passing and a running attack that’s gained less than 100 yards per game.

Whatever the Broncos lack on offense they make up for on defense. Defensive Player of the Year frontrunner Von Miller leads an attack that’s haunted quarterbacks in 2016. Denver has held opposing QBs to a league-low 71.0 passer rating partly due to a pass rush that’s earned sacks on nearly 8 percent of dropbacks. That means passers play like Blaine Gabbert when they take the field at Mile High Stadium, and they can expect to get sacked every 12 passes.

That’s bad news for Smith, who has dealt with injuries this fall. A concussion knocked him out of a Week 8 game against the Colts and a Week 9 victory over the Jaguars. While Nick Foles is a capable backup, his struggles against Jacksonville (20-for-33, only 187 yards) don’t bode well for his chances if the Chiefs’ offensive line can’t keep Smith upright. Kansas City will need all the firepower it can get to overcome Denver’s ferocious defense.

Below is all you need to watch Sunday's game.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Green Bay Packers Live Stream, Preview: Watch NFL Online

Monday Night Football presents fans with a high-quality match as the Kansas City Chiefs visit Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers.

This should be an entertaining match-up considering the personalities involved in the game. However, the talent of both teams as Green Bay are considered as title contenders, while the Chiefs may be seen as a playoff-ready squad should be the focal point of this battle.

At the moment, the Packers are still unbeaten after two games and their most recent victory came in impressive fashion as they battled the tough Seattle Seahawks.

Down 17-16 entering the final quarter, the Packers turned on an impressive clutch performance with quarterback Aaron Rodgers giving Green Bay the lead in the 9:28 mark.

Then, the team's defence held up as they limited Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks to prevent them from scoring to take home the 27-17 victory.

This now sets up Rodgers to be back on the limelight at home – where he has been impressive.

Green Bay's top quarterback has not thrown an interception at home since 2012 and that streak has been for 18 games, resulting in 545 attempted passes and 43 touchdowns. And they are all NFL records.

That is a tough task for the Chiefs who are currently 1-1 and are trying to bounce from a devastating loss to the Denver Broncos in week 2.

It was a close game throughout the night as the two teams were tied at 17 entering the final quarter.

The Chiefs found some breathing room when Knile Davis scored a touchdown in the 2:32 mark of the game, with Cairo Santos making the extra point to give Kansas City a seven-point lead.

However, Peyton Manning came up big as he found Emmanuel Sanders for a touchdown with 40 seconds left before Brandon McManus equalised with his PAT.

And then, a fumble by Jamaal Charles saw Bradley Roby recover the ball for a touchdown to seal the victory.

It was a tough loss for Kansas City, and a tough pill to swallow for their star Charles – but he will have to carry on and try to make amends by getting a big win over the Packers.

NFLPA Collegiate Bowl 2015

The 2015 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl will return to Southern California for its fourth edition. The all-star showcase will feature draft-eligible prospects looking to impress NFL scouts before the draft on April 30.

Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato will headline the American Team. The signal caller just put the finishing touches on a stellar collegiate career that saw him finish third all-time in total touchdowns among NCAA players. One of his counterparts on the National Team is Miami (OH) quarterback Andrew Hendrix, who previously played at Notre Dame and practiced well leading up to Saturday. Nevada defensive end Brock Hekking will look to get after Hendrix while defensive end Marcus Rush, who totaled 10.5 sacks last season at Michigan State, is a player to watch on the National defense.

Former NFL head coaches Mike Holmgren and Mike Martz will serve as the Collegiate Bowl's coaches. Holmgren is in charge of the American Team and will go up against Martz's National Team.

Leading up to the game, NFL players and coaches were on hand to work with the players on technique and groom them for the rigors of life as an NFL player both on and off the field. Last year's participants included quarterback Connor Shaw, who started for the Cleveland Browns in their final game of the season. In 2013, Seattle Seahawks tight end Luke Willson played in the Collegiate Bowl and was eventually drafted in the fifth round.

East-West Shrine Game 2015

The 90th edition of East-West Shrine Game will take place Saturday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. Although it doesn't cary the luster of the Senior Bowl, there are still many quality prospects coming out of this all-star game. Last season, we saw multiple players who ended up going in the first three rounds, including quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, wide receiver John Brown and cornerback Phillip Gaines.

This year, the game features potential draft picks such as Kentucky defensive end Za'Darius Smith, Kansas linebacker Ben Heeney and Louisville offensive guard John Miller. Another intriguing prospect to keep an eye on is Texas running back Malcolm Brown, who never really got going in Austin but has the physical tools to succeed at the next level.

The 2015 quarterback class as a whole is lackluster, and that's especially true about the Shrine Game.

Will any of the six quarterbacks - Anthony Boone (Duke), Cody Fajardo (Nevada), Taylor Heinicke (Old Dominion), Taylor Kelly (Arizona State), Hutson Mason (Georgia) and Dylan Thompson (South Carolina) - even get drafted? This week will go a long way in determining that. All six look like backup types in the NFL.

You won't see many first-rounders on the field, but draft classes are often made after the third round. This game holds the type of quality contributors and diamonds in the rough that could make or break a team on draft day.
