NFL Playoff Clinching Scenarios Unfolded

The NFL playoffs are heating up as teams scramble to secure spots in the postseason. In the AFC, Kansas City Chiefs (14-1) and Buffalo Bills (12-3) have clinched playoff berths. However, a matchup between KC and Steelers (10-5) on Wednesday will determine the team’s seeding.

The Chiefs can seal the top spot in the AFC with a win or tie against Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, Denver Broncos (9-6) have secured a playoff berth by winning or tying against Cincinnati Bengals (7-8).

In the NFC, the Lions and Packers have claimed playoff spots. However, Detroit’s path to securing the number one seed is uncertain as they face San Francisco 49ers (6-9). A win for Detroit, coupled with Minnesota Vikings’ loss, would secure this advantage.

Philadelphia Eagles (12-3) are closing in on their division title after beating Dallas Cowboys (7-8). Meanwhile, Los Angeles Rams (9-6) clinch the NFC West division title with a win or tie against Arizona Cardinals (7-8), and also by securing strength of victory over Seattle Seahawks (SEA).

A showdown between Washington Commanders (10-5) and Atlanta Falcons (8-7) will determine the team’s playoff status. Washington can secure a spot in the playoffs by winning or tying, while the Falcons require a loss or tie from Tampa Bay Buccaneers (TB).
