After a heavy blitz of must-see prime-time games in Week 14, the NFL's game of the week in Week 15 might be in Sunday's early window.
The New England Patriots are looking to put the Buffalo Bills away in the AFC East race with a win on Sunday, hosting Josh Allen and co. With a clear path to a division title: win and in.

The Bills haven't yet locked up a playoff berth in the AFC, but they are still aiming higher than just a wild-card berth. Buffalo believes it can climb right back into the division race with a road win over the Patriots, which would return the favor after the Patriots won in Buffalo earlier in the season.
Since then, New England hasn't lost. The Bills have, putting themselves in danger of losing the streak of AFC East titles, but they have survived a couple of close calls in recent weeks to stay in the race with the Patriots.
Sunday's contest will be another major test for young QB Drake Maye, but the pressure is on Allen's shoulders if he wants to start the playoffs at home and send Highmark Stadium out on a high note.
Here's a look at the Bills-Patriots coverage map for Week 15 and which markets will be able to watch the AFC East showdown.
