Team Standings
1 of 3
1. Denver Broncos (11-2; lead AFC West)
2. New England Patriots (11-2; lead AFC East)
3. Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4; lead AFC Sorth)
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6; lead AFC North)
Sunday’s results saw the Jaguars and Steelers take control of their respective divisions with four weeks to play. The Broncos moved into the No. 1 seed over the Patriots, who were on bye in Week 14, based on the winning percentage in conference games tiebreaker.
5. Los Angeles Chargers (9-4)
The Chargers aren’t always pretty to watch as more offensive linemen keep getting injured, but head coach Jim Harbaugh has them taking care of business against teams they need to beat. Houston might be the scariest team in the AFC with how its defense is playing and now the offense doing enough to make it count in the win-loss column.
8. Indianapolis Colts (8-5)
9. Baltimore Ravens (6-7)
10. Kansas City Chiefs (6-7)
12. Cincinnati Bengals (4-9)
Sunday was a rough one for the Colts, who have fallen out of playoff position just five weeks after being the No. 1 seed in the AFC. They lost Daniel Jones for the season to a torn Achilles and backup Riley Leonard is dealing with a knee injury, so 44-year-old Philip Rivers is being brought in for a workout.
The Ravens and Chiefs, who have been two stalwarts in the conference for years, face steep odds to make it in the field after losing on Sunday.
14. Cleveland Browns (3-10)
15. Las Vegas Raiders (2-11)
16. Tennessee Titans (2-11)
1. Los Angeles Rams (10-3; lead NFC West)
2. Green Bay Packers (9-3-1; lead NFC North)
3. Philadelphia Eagles (8-5; lead NFC East)
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6; lead NFC South)
The top seed in the NFC looks to be a race between the Rams and Packers because Philadelphia’s free fall continued with another ugly performance in a 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers on Monday. The Bucs are also spiraling with four losses in their last five games, giving them the same record as Carolina.
5. Seattle Seahawks (10-3)
6. San Francisco 49ers (9-4)
9. Carolina Panthers (7-6)
10. Dallas Cowboys (6-6-1)
11. Minnesota Vikings (5-8)
The best race in the NFC right now is out west with three teams within one game of each other. The Seahawks are 0-2 against the Rams and 49ers, but they will play their division rivals again in the final three weeks of the regular season.
Despite their loss to the Packers on Sunday, the Bears remain in playoff position even though their margin of error has diminished with the Lions right on their heels after a huge win over Dallas.
Speaking of the Cowboys, they caught a huge break with the Eagles losing on Monday night to stay within one game in the loss column for the top spot in the division race.
12. Atlanta Falcons (4-9)
13. Arizona Cardinals (3-10)
14. New Orleans Saints (3-10)
15. Washington Commanders (3-10)
16. New York Giants (2-11)
