AFC Playoff Picture Takes Shape by Sunday’s End

The NFL playoff landscape is becoming increasingly clear as Sunday approaches. If the Chiefs win and the Bills lose, Kansas City will clinch the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the AFC. The Steelers’ victory over the Ravens would secure the AFC North title for Pittsburgh, making them the fourth division winner.

For wild card spots, a Chargers win while the Bengals, Dolphins, and Colts all lose would guarantee three of those three berths. This scenario would leave the AFC playoff picture intact by Week 17, with:

* The Chiefs holding the No. 1 seed and first-round bye
* Division winners playing at home in the first round: Bills (AFC East), Steelers (AFC North), and Texans (AFC South)
* Wild card teams: Chargers, Broncos, and Ravens

The final two weeks of the regular season would have minimal impact on the AFC playoff picture.
