The Kansas City Chiefs have clinched the top seed in the AFC playoffs, with the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Los Angeles Chargers also securing playoff berths. The final playoff spot is up for grabs between the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, and Cincinnati Bengals.
In the AFC, two-time defending champion Kansas City has clinched the top seed and joining them in the AFC post-season will be the Buffalo Bills , Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers.The Denver Broncos (9-7) would take the last AFC spot with a home win over Kansas City, with the Chiefs expected to rest many of their top players having already secured a first-round bye and home-field playoff edge.
Should Denver lose, Miami (8-8) could take the last AFC playoff berth with a road victory over the New York Jets (4-12). If the Broncos and Dolphins both lose, the Cincinnati Bengals (8-8) could swipe the playoff spot by winning on Sunday at Pittsburgh (10-6). Also at stake will be the AFC North division crown and the third seed in the AFC playoffs behind Kansas City and Buffalo. Baltimore (11-5) can clinch both with a home victory over Cleveland (3-13) but a Ravens loss would allow the Steelers to take the division title and higher seeding by beating Cincinnati.The Steelers own the No. 5 seed over the Chargers having previously defeated Los Angeles 20-10 in Week 3.
