Heading into the final two weeks of the season, four playoff berths (one in the AFC, three in the NFC) and five division titles are up for grabs. In addition, the NFC No. 1 seed has not been confirmed. We’re tracking the closest and most exciting races in real time during Week 17 (and again in Week 18). We’ve covered all the swings, big plays, and surprises.
We start with the AFC wild card picture, where the Chargers punched their ticket with a win over the Patriots on Saturday. Had the Broncos beaten the Bengals, they could have joined them, but Cincinnati survived and is still alive for last place in the AFC.
