WHAT TO WATCH It's easy to forget how important RB Leonard Fournette is to the Jaguars when he is missing time with a hamstring injury. After missing four games in a row, and six all together, Fournette has returned in the past two to gain 148 yards rushing on a whopping 52 carries. He also has 2 rushing TDs and 1 receiving.

(30) 29.3 POINTS 18.1 (1)
WHAT TO WATCH This game is all about the growth of Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Last week in his first career start, he had 13 completions on 19 attempts for 150 yards. He was more effective on the ground, gaining 119 yards on 26 carries. That is not a sustainable way of life in the NFL.

WHAT TO WATCH Three weeks ago, the Panthers were 6-2 and on the short list of Super Bowl contenders. Back-to-back losses to the Steelers and Lions now put them in danger of missing the playoffs. Does Carolina have an answer to the Seahawks' top-ranked rushing game?

(22) 25.6 POINTS 24.9 (18)
WHAT TO WATCH Seldom does the average NFL viewer pay close attention to offensive linemen. Hopefully awards voters are watching. Colts rookie guard Quenton Nelson -- the No. 6 pick in last year's draft out of Notre Dame -- is worthy of offensive rookie of the year consideration. He is a huge reason why QB Andrew Luck is not getting sacked often.

(24) 26.3 POINTS 31.2 (31)
WHAT TO WATCH The Browns have lost 25 road games in a row. With road games left against Houston, Denver and Baltimore, today against Cincinnati is Cleveland's best chance to snap the skid this year. RB Nick Chubb could have a huge game against a Bengals' rushing defense ranked last in the NFL.

WHAT TO WATCH The Patriots were embarrassed 34-10 by the Titans in their last game. The Jets were embarrassed 41-10 by the Bills in their last game. But only the Patriots are equipped to bounce back and do something about the blemish.

WHAT TO WATCH The Broncos finally had a close call against a good team go their way last week in a 23-22 victory over the Chargers in Los Angeles. The Steelers have won 6 in a row, but this is a tricky game after last week's rally from 16-0 down in the fourth quarter to beat Jacksonville. An upset is in play.

WHAT TO WATCH This seems like a perfect spot for the Eagles to lick their wounds, blow out the Giants, and pull within a game of the Cowboys and Redskins in the division. Unfortunately, everything about the Eagles has screamed imperfect this season. This is the last stand. Are the champions ready?

(17) 24.8 POINTS 20.9 (7)
WHAT TO WATCH Can the Chargers bounce back from last week's disappointment against Denver? The Chiefs' loss on Monday night gave the Chargers a reprieve in the race for a division title, but they need to take care of business against a rookie quarterback at home.

WHAT TO WATCH The Tampa Bay quarterback musical chairs game again has Jameis Winston seated. He was benched a few weeks back in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick, who threw 3 INTs last week to fumble the job back to Winston. Winston has 6 games to convince the Buccaneers -- really the NFL, for that matter -- that he can carry a franchise.

WHAT TO WATCH These two teams have been disappointments this season. In their previous meeting, they fittingly tied 29-29. One of these teams has a chance to challenge the 8-3 Bears for the NFC North division title, but it won't be the loser of this game.
