Week 14 of the NFL season is here and there is a jam-packed slate of games featuring plenty of matchups that will have a direct impact on the playoff field.

Week 14 featured a packed afternoon slate with plenty of big-time divisional matchups that shook up the AFC and NFC playoff picture.

In the first of two matchups over the final five weeks of the season, Pittsburgh and Baltimore come into this one tied at 6-6 atop the AFC North.

The Rams, motivated to maintain their slim lead in the NFC West, came out firing against the Cardinals on Sunday and showed why they're still one of the best teams in football, if not the best.
