After a fun Week 11 slate that featured a number of wild games, the Week 12 slate is a bit more traditional. Last week’s Miami Dolphins vs. Washington Commanders clash in Spain was the final International Series game, so there won’t be any more Sunday morning games for the remainder of the 2025 NFL season.
That means there are only three nationally televised primetime games in Week 12. This week started with Thursday night when the Houston Texans beat the Buffalo Bills. Then, on Sunday Night Football, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will travel to the West Coast to take on the Los Angeles Rams. The week will close out with a battle between the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.
This week, there are four teams with a bye: the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins, and Washington Commanders. Looking at the NFL coverage map, let’s see which games will be broadcast in different areas of the country in Week 12.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Team:Â Tampa Bay is finishing a stretch of four out of five games on the road. They defeated the Saints, but have lost to the Lions and Bills.
QB: Baker Mayfield has graded at a B- or better twice this season after having nine games at that level in the 2024 regular season.
Offense: Tampa Bay’s season OFFi is 73.4 (C), ranks 17th in the NFL. Last season, the Buccaneers were 3rd with an 89.0 (B) OFFi score.
Defense: The Buccaneers had a 66.9 (D) DEFi score vs the Bills last week. It’s the second lowest, behind a 59.1 (F) registered in a 38-35 win over Seattle in Week 5.
Fantasy: Sean Tucker will be a top waiver wire add this week. He is coming off 34 fantasy points and an overall RB2 weekly finish. The Rams allow the third fewest fantasy points per game to running backs.
Los Angeles Rams
Team:Â The Rams are 3-0 when scoring 21 points or fewer. They were 5-6 last season when not scoring more than 21.
QB: Matthew Stafford has only thrown two interceptions. His current career best, when he has played more than ten games, is eight interceptions in 16 games last season.
Offense: Puka Nacua has the second-best WRi (97.0) behind only Jaxon Smith-Njigba (97.7). Nuca led the NFL last season with a 97.2 WRi.
Defense:Â The Rams have six games with at least two takeaways (Tied for the most games in the NFL)
Fantasy: Davante Adams caught one pass for a one-yard touchdown last week. He saw eight targets. The last time Adams caught fewer than three passes in a game was in Week 16 of the 2023 season when he was with the Raiders.
Monday Night Football
- Carolina Panthers at San Francisco 49ers
- 8:15 p.m. ET
- ESPN/ABC Joe Buck and Troy Aikman
Carolina Panthers
Team:Â Carolina has a challenging schedule to finish the season and make the postseason. After the 49ers, the Panthers will play the Rams, Seahawks, Saints, and two games vs the Buccaneers.
QB: Bryce Young’s 78.9 (C+) QBi score was the second-best of his career. He scored 81.9 (B-) against the Falcons in Week 18 last season.
Offense: Tetairoa McMillan recorded his best WRi score (83.3, B) of the season in Week 11. The rookie’s previous best was an 81.1 (B-) vs the Bills in Week 8.
Defense: Carolina’s defense has been called for 89 penalties (fourth-most in the NFL)
Fantasy: Rico Dowdle has now played five games where he was the clear lead back (two without Chuba Hubbard and three since Hubbard was relegated to pure backup). He’s averaging 23.1 points per game in those contests.
San Francisco 49ers
Team:Â The 49ers have alternated wins and losses each week since starting 3-0.
QB: Brock Purdy had a QBi score of 76.2 (C) in his return against the Cardinals in Week 11.
Offense:Â The 49ers recorded an OFFi grade of B- or better in four of the last five weeks after grading at a C+ level or lower in the first six games.
Defense:Â Opponents have 21 pass touchdowns this season (T-fourth most)
Fantasy: He’s only made three starts this season, but Brock Purdy has been remarkably productive and consistent, scoring between 18.8 and 19.7 fantasy points in all three.
