During Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season, it’s quite a slow weekend with six teams on bye. The highlight of Thursday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns lacks excitement, except perhaps for the hope that division rivalries will create competitive gameplay.

However, anticipation builds for late Sunday afternoon when the San Francisco 49ers, desperate for a victory, face the Green Bay Packers. Additionally, the Arizona Cardinals take on the Seattle Seahawks in a showdown for the top spot in the NFC West.

Nonetheless, the most significant matchup of the week is set for Monday night in Los Angeles, as the Chargers go up against the Baltimore Ravens in an exciting meeting of coaching siblings Jim and John Harbaugh. Both teams are likely to secure wild-card spots in the AFC, but this game could impact their playoff aspirations, especially as their approaches to the game seem increasingly alike.
