With two weeks left, teams across the NFL are jockeying for postseason position.
- This is what the NFL playoff bracket would look like if the season ended today.
- The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins are chasing the Minnesota Vikings for the final spot in the NFC.
- The New England Patriots may be without a first-round bye for the first time since 2009.
With just two weeks left in the NFL regular season, the playoff picture is beginning to come clear.
In the NFC, the Rams and Saints, both of whom have dominated all season, look like locks to earn a first-round bye. The biggest question remaining is whether or not the Vikings can hold on to the sixth seed, or if they'll be caught by the Eagles or Redskins.
In the AFC, it's a slightly different story. The Chiefs currently sit atop the conference, but still need to win out, as they could quickly fall into the Wild Card round if the Chargers jumped them in the AFC West standings.
The Texans currently hold the second seed in the AFC, meaning that if the season ended today, the Patriots would be without a first-round bye for the first time since 2009.
While Baltimore holds a slim lead on the sixth seed in the AFC, the Colts and Titans are right behind them and could jump them in the standings with a win and a Baltimore loss.
There's still two weeks of NFL action left before we know what the bracket will look like, but as things stand, we're shaping up for quite a compelling postseason.
