The NFL playoffs are heating up, and several teams have already secured spots. Here’s a breakdown of the playoff clinching scenarios for Week 15.
Three teams have paths to clinch their respective divisions or playoff berths this week. The Houston Texans can secure the AFC South title with a win over the Colts and an Indianapolis loss. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers can claim a playoff berth with a win or tie against the Dolphins, provided the Colts lose or tie as well.
The Minnesota Vikings still have a chance to wrap up their playoff spot on Sunday, despite having one route taken away by the Rams’ Thursday night win. They need only a win or tie against the Seahawks and a Seattle loss or tie.
In the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles can clinch the division title with a win over the Commanders and either a win or tie for themselves and an Atlanta Falcons loss or tie.
Other teams that have already secured playoff spots include the Kansas City Chiefs (AFC West champion), Buffalo Bills (AFC East champ), and Detroit Lions.
