NFL 2023 playoff picture, standings in Week 15: Eagles, Cowboys clinch spot; Bengals, Colts enter AFC picture

The NFL playoff races are as wild and confusing as ever through the Sunday 1 p.m. games in Week 15, making the homestretch of the season one we’ll likely remember. The AFC entered the weekend with 11 teams boasting winning records and six with 7-6 records, the most for a single conference through Week 14 since 1970.
