The Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs must win their Week 15 NFL games to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Colts hit the emergency button last Tuesday to bring 44-year-old veteran quarterback Philip Rivers out of retirement in the face of injuries to Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson and rookie Riley Leonard, their three pass-catchers on the roster.

With Jones and Richardson out for the season, if Leonard does not recover from the posterior cruciate ligament injury, Rivers will have to put his Hall of Fame aspirations on hold.
This to take command and try to lead Indianapolis to victory in their visit this Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks.
The two teams are vying for the top spot in the NFL’s National Football Conference (NFC) West division.
A loss for the Colts, third in the American Football Conference (AFC) South, would push them out of the playoffs.
Indianapolis’ situation is similar to that of the Ravens, second in the AFC North with a 6-7 record, who will travel to the home of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Jackson and Chiefs under full pressure
Lamar Jackson must lead his team to the win and hope for a Steelers loss.
This to go into the final week of the NFL campaign with a chance to climb back to the top of their division, the only way in the North to make the playoffs.
The Chiefs’ situation is more pressing, because in addition to being forced to beat the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, they need a combination of results to avoid being out of the postseason for the first time since 2014.
Among the 14 games scheduled for Sunday, the clash between the New England Patriots also stands out.
They are battling for first place in the AFC, and the Buffalo Bills, who are clinging to stay in playoff positions.
The visit of the Green Bay Packers, leaders of the NFC North, to the Denver Broncos, number one in the National League, and the duel of the Los Angeles Rams, the best in the NFC against the Detroit Lions, who only need to win to keep their chances alive.
Key duels starting today
Week 15 kicks off on Thursday when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defend the NFC South lead against the Atlanta Falcons.
And it will conclude on Monday with the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers, who cannot afford to lose in order to hold on to their command of the AFC North, and the Miami Dolphins, who are virtually eliminated.
