The 2024 NFL season is in its final stretch, and the playoff picture is becoming clearer by the day. Eight teams have secured spots in the postseason, with three divisions already clinched. Here’s a breakdown of the current standings:
AFC:
Kansas City Chiefs (14-1) are locked in as the No. 1 seed in the AFC, pending Buffalo Bills’ performance against New England Patriots.
Buffalo Bills (12-3) can still secure home-field advantage if they beat Kansas City and win out their remaining games.
Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5) face the Los Angeles Chargers (9-6) in a tough matchup for the AFC wild card spot.
NFC:
Detroit Lions (13-2) have a strong grip on the No. 1 seed, but Philadelphia Eagles’ (12-3) and Minnesota Vikings’ (13-2) are close behind.
Philadelphia Eagles face Washington Commanders (10-5), while Los Angeles Rams (9-6) meet Green Bay Packers (10-4) in another high-stakes matchup.
The remaining spots in both conferences are still up for grabs, with several teams fighting to secure a playoff spot.
