The Pittsburgh Steelers have taken command of the AFC North, while the Buffalo Bills have clinched their fifth consecutive AFC East title. The Kansas City Chiefs also secured their playoff spot, although their performance raised some concerns. Meanwhile, the Lions are fighting to preserve their position against the challenging competition from the Vikings and Eagles in the NFC race. The recent weeks have seen critical wins for teams like the Seahawks and significant losses for others, most notably the 49ers against the Bills, impacting their playoff outlook. With playoff-clinching scenarios and seedings in play, the battle intensifies as teams aim to solidify their postseason positions with just a few weeks remaining in the regular season.
