#FromStateToSundays: Week 15 Preview
December 16, 2021 | Football
STARKVILLE – The NFL slate expands to four days a week during Week 15 and Mississippi State will be represented on all four days.
Chris Jones and Willie Gay Jr. will jump start the week when their Kansas City Chiefs travel to the Chargers on Thursday night.
Sunday's schedule features a pair of head-to-head matchups between former MSU players. Benardrick McKinney and the Giants will try to get after Dak Prescott and Dallas at noon. Offensive tackle Tyre Phillips will be tasked with blocking linebacker Preston Smith when the Ravens host Green Bay at on Sunday 3:35 p.m.
Tennessee's Denico Autry and Jeffery Simmons will visit the Steelers at noon while the Jaguars and Logan Cooke will welcome Houston at that same time.
Gabe Jackson will try to pave the way in Seattle's trek to the Rams at 3:25 p.m. while J.T. Gray and the Saints close out the day in Tampa on Sunday Night Football.
On Monday night at 7:15, Minnesota cornerback Camerson Dantzler collides with the Bears in Chicago and two more former Bulldog defensive standouts will be in action as Johnathan Abram, K.J. Wright and the Raiders invade Cleveland at 4 p.m.
COVID-19 forced three games involving former Bulldogs to be rescheduled. Johnathan Abram, K.J. Wright and the Raiders will take on Cleveland on Monday at 4 p.m. in a contest that was originally scheduled for Saturday.
Two more games were moved to Tuesday. Seattle and offensive guard Gabe Jackson will battle the Rams while Washington and Montez Sweat visit Fletcher Cox, Darius Slay and the Eagles. Both of those tilts are scheduled for a 6 p.m. start on Fox. It will be Sweat's first action since Oct. 31 when he broke his jaw against the Broncos.
