There are just 14 games remaining in the NFL regular season, and the playoff picture is almost set.
Ten teams have clinched postseason berths, including five in the NFC: the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams. In the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs clinched before Week 18, while the Houston Texans are in after they beat the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night.
That means four more spots are on the line Sunday. The playoffs begin Jan. 13. Here is the playoff picture for Week 18, along with the clinching scenarios for the weekend:
