The playoff picture came into sharper focus Wednesday when the Chiefs clinched the AFC’s No. 1 seed and the Ravens leapfrogged the Steelers for the AFC North lead.

Five spots are all set in the AFC, while the NFC has locked down four postseason berths. Here are the playoff-clinching scenarios for this weekend.

The Baltimore Ravens became the eighth team to clinch a postseason ticket thanks to a 34-17 victory over AFC North rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, on Saturday.

NFL playoff standings show two available AFC berths remaining and three NFC spots left. Take a look at who's still alive in the NFL playoff picture.

After the Chiefs beat the Steelers 29–10, they clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, earning themselves home field advantage and a first-round bye in the playoffs. At stake for the Ravens is seeding. They would leap above the Steelers with a win today after Pittsburgh lost to Kansas City earlier in the day.

The Chiefs knocked off the Houston Texans on Saturday to improve to 14-1 and maintain their two-game lead over the Buffalo Bills (12-2) for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. They now need only one win or one Bills loss to secure the No. 1 seed and a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

The Chiefs have the lead for the AFC No. 1 seed, the Lions have the lead for the NFC No. 1 seed, and there's still plenty to be determined beyond that.

The NFL's Christmas doubleheader carries significant postseason implications, none more so than the Chiefs' win over the Steelers.

With just two weeks left to play in the 2024 regular season, there are still five playoff spots up for grabs and plenty of teams around the NFL will be hoping that Santa delivers them one of those playoff spots this week.
