Week 15 of the NFL season began Thursday when the Cincinnati Bengals solidified their playoff hopes with a 34-13 win over the mess of a team that the Philadelphia Eagles have become. Week 15 continues with a number of intriguing games, none more so than the Sunday night prime time game featuring the San Francisco 49ers (9-3-1) at the New England Patriots (10-3). The Patriots, which have a fan base in Newton, Conn., will honor the victims of Friday's Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy before the game and with black-ribbon logos on their helmets.

This is your open thread for the Week 15 action. Comment here, especially with goings-on involving the multiple Cal football alumni in the NFL. Two Cal guys go head to head in Chicago today: Bears safety Chris Conte has his hands full with Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Enjoy the games. Full schedule below.
