Key game-time decisions
All players questionable unless noted
Michael Floyd (hamstring) WR; Patrick Peterson (ankle) CB; John Brown (hamstring) WR -- PROBABLE, Arizona Cardinals
All three were limited on Friday. Bruce Arians said Friday that Floyd looked good this week, indicating he'll play after sitting out Week 11. Peterson is also expected to play.
UPDATE: Floyd will play against the 49ers, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source.
Tyrod Taylor (right shoulder) QB -- PROBABLE, Buffalo Bills
Rex Ryan has been confident all week Taylor would play. He is active.
Travis Kelce (groin, ankle) TE; Charcandrick West (hamstring) RB, Kansas City Chiefs
Kelce injured his ankle in practice on Friday. Andy Reid believes the tight end will "be fine." West sat out all week. Spencer Ware will lead the way in the backfield if West is unable to play.
UPDATE: Kelce is active for the Chiefs.
While Ware took reps with the ones at running back for the Chiefs this week, Rapoport reported that West was trying to work his way in. Ware will get the start and Knile Davis will be active.
Danny Amendola (knee) WR; Keshawn Martin (hamstring) WR; Jamie Collins (illness) LB -- DOUBTFUL, New England Patriots
Amendola was limited on Thursday and Friday. It's unclear how much the wideout will play even if he suits up Sunday night. Collins returned to practice on Friday, but, as is Bill Belichick's modus operandi, the linebacker will likely wait a week before playing.
Emmanuel Sanders (ankle, finger) WR -- PROBABLE, Denver Broncos
With Brock Osweiler starting against the Pats, the Broncos need as much firepower as they can get on the field.
Jarvis Landry (knee) WR; Rishard Matthews (illness) WR, Miami Dolphins
Landry sat out practice Friday, but Dan Campbell expects the wideout to play Sunday.
UPDATE: Both Landry and Matthews are active.
Everson Griffen (hip, shoulder) DE; Harrison Smith (knee) S -- OUT; Trae Waynes (ankle) CB -- OUT, Minnesota Vikings
Griffen and Smith returned to practice Friday on a limited basis. Waynes sat out the final practice of the week.
Alfred Morris (rib) RB -- PROBABLE; Bashaud Breeland (hamstring, illness) CB; Deshazor Everett (hamstring) CB, Washington Redskins
Morris was full go all week and will play. Breeland sat out Friday. With Chris Culliver out with an ACL tear, the Redskins will struggled to slow Odell Beckham Jr. and the Giants' pass attack if they are down more corners.
Taiwan Jones (knee) RB, Oakland Raiders
The change-of-pace backup was limited Friday.
Kendall Wright (knee) WR -- PROBABLE, Tennessee Titans
Wright will play after missing three games.
Ryan Shazier (knee) LB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Malcom Floyd (shoulder) WR -- PROBABLE, San Diego Chargers
Floyd was full-go on Friday. It appears his career isn't over just yet.
Allen Hurns (thigh, foot) WR -- PROBABLE, Jacksonville Jaguars
Hurns was limited all week.
Case Keenum (concussion) QB; Robert Quinn (hip, back) DE, St. Louis Rams
The Rams are preparing to start Nick Foles. Quinn sat out all week of practice. The pass rusher has missed two of the past three games.
Adam Jones (foot) CB, Cincinnati Bengals
Jones returned to practice Thursday and was limited for the final two sessions of the week.
Randy Starks (knee) DE; Joe Haden (concussion) CB; Andrew Hawkins (concussion) WR -- ALL OUT, Cleveland Browns
All three of Cleveland's notable losses did not practice this week.
Eugene Monroe (shoulder) T, Baltimore Ravens

Three matchups that intrigue
Adrian Peterson vs. Falcons run defense
Strength meets strength in Atlanta. Adrian Peterson leads the NFL in rushing with 1,006 yards. Though they boast no big names, Falcons lead the NFL in run defense, allowing just 87.4 rush yards per game. Linebacker Paul Worrilow leads Atlanta in tackles, Kroy Biermann is having a solid season under Dan Quinn and O'Brien Schofield seems to make plays every week. Sunday they will be dispatched to slow down Peterson. After looking fresh through the middle of the season, All Day was bottled up most of last week. It's difficult to keep a beast caged two straight weeks. In a pivotal game for NFC playoff seeding, whichever unit controls the ground game will control the scoreboard.
Whether Peyton Manning played or not, the key to this showdown was going to be Brady versus the No. 1 defense in the NFL. With his weapons faltering around him, the Pats' future Hall of Famer struggled last week against Rex Ryan's blitzes. Now he faces Wade Phillips. The Broncos rank first in the NFL in sacks -- though missing DeMarcus Ware has hurt the Broncos pass rush (he will be out again). Expect Phillips to bring heat to frustrate Brady. If Danny Amendola (questionable) can't play, it will be interesting to see if Brady trusts his non-Gronk targets. We expect a ground attack from the Pats given their passing limitations, but the world is often wrong with trying to predict a Belichick game plan.
Thomas Rawls vs. Steelers front seven
Rawls, a bulldozing pinball, rushed 209 yards last week. Many of his 30 carries ended with a lowered shoulder square into a defender. If you don't get juiced watching the 5-foot-9, 215-pound back plow over defenders, you're watching the wrong sport. Taking over duties for Marshawn Lynch is no easy task, but the undrafted rookie from Flint has shown the Beast Mode-like ability to carry the load while remaining a threat in the passing attack. The Steelers' defense is on pace for their worst statistical season in terms of total yards allowed in team history (371.4 YPG). However, their run defense has been stout, ranking fifth in the NFL. If Pittsburgh can swallow up Rawls and force Russell Wilson to beat them through the air, the Steelers could keep Seattle's difficult season on the downslope.
Did You Know?
Since 1990, teams that start 6-5 have made the playoffs 45.1 percent of the time. Teams that start 5-6 have made the playoffs 12.6 percent of the time.
Entering Week 12, there are two undefeated teams -- CAR (now 11-0) and NE (10-0), which marks the fourth time in NFL history there have been multiple 10-0 teams in a season (1934, 1990, 2009). Looking forward, the most undefeated 11-0 teams in a season in NFL history is two, which occurred only once ever, in 2009 (NO & IND). The 2009 Saints defeated the 2009 Colts in Super Bowl 44 (XLIV).
In the Super Bowl era, 15 teams started 10-0 and all 15 made the playoffs. Nine of those 15 teams advanced to the Super Bowl with six of those 15 winning the Super Bowl.
Week 11 continued the trend of close games as eight of 14 games were decided by seven or fewer points. Eighty-four out of 160 (52.5 percent) games have been decided by seven points or fewer this season (most such games through Week 11 in NFL history -- 1998: 81 games).
Through Week 11 this season, nine of 32 teams (.281 percent) are above .500, which marks the lowest percentage of teams above .500 since the merger in 1970.

The NFL's oldest and youngest starting quarterbacks will face off in Indianapolis this weekend.

The last time he strung together a four-game winning streak within a season was Weeks 10-14, 2007, while he was with the Seahawks (five straight). If Hasselbeck comes away with a victory on Sunday, he'll join Brett Favre as the only QBs in NFL history to win four consecutive starts within a season after their 40th birthday.
