Strong Playoff Position (Looking Safe for Now)
These teams won big in Week 12 or already had strong records, keeping them firmly in the postseason chase.
San Francisco 49ers
A solid win over Carolina keeps them near the top of the NFC. Their defense continues to be one of the most reliable units in football.
Dallas Cowboys
Beating Philadelphia again strengthens their push for the NFC East or a top Wild Card spot. They look stable.
Baltimore Ravens
Handled the Jets easily. Their defense and consistency keep them top-tier in the AFC.
Detroit Lions
It wasn’t pretty, but an OT win over the Giants helps them maintain control of the NFC North. Surviving close games is what playoff teams do.
Teams in Playoff Trouble (Not Out, But Slipping)
Buffalo Bills
A tough loss to Houston hurts. Their inconsistency makes them unpredictable. They’re not out, but they’re slipping behind other AFC teams.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Losing to Chicago puts pressure on their Wild Card hopes. The AFC is crowded, and they’re trending the wrong way.
Cincinnati Bengals
Falling to the Patriots hurts badly. Burrow or not, they’re running out of time to make a playoff push.
Seattle Seahawks
They won this week, but their schedule gets harder. They must keep stacking victories to hold a Wild Card position.
Teams Nearly Out (Playoff Hopes Fading Fast)
These teams either lost badly or already had poor records.
Carolina Panthers
The loss to San Francisco pushes them further toward elimination. Too many issues on both sides of the ball.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
A blowout loss to the Rams puts them in a deep hole. The offense continues to struggle.
New York Jets
Losing to Baltimore puts their season on life support. Their offense can’t keep up with playoff-level teams.
Las Vegas Raiders
Falling to Cleveland at home hurts. They likely need to win out to have any real shot.
Arizona Cardinals
The OT loss to Jacksonville was rough. Their season is slipping away fast.
