Three playoff spots are claimed. Eleven remain up for grabs.
In the AFC, the field is looking more and more set. In the NFC, two divisions are up for grabs.
In both conferences, the chase for the top seed might last all the way until Week 18.
Here’s a look at the Sunday and Monday games for Week 14.
3-9 Jets at 5-7 Dolphins (-6), Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS (Kevin Harlan and Trent Green)
The Dolphins have a 13-3 record against the Jets since 2016, with eight wins in a row. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has never lost to the Jets in four prior games.
The Jets haven’t won in Miami since 2014, when Rex Ryan was the coach.

Kirk Cousins returns to Minnesota, in his first season after six years as the Vikings’ starter. With no touchdown passes and six interceptions in the last three games (all losses), the question of whether the Falcons should pivot to rookie Michael Penix, Jr. has been raised.
Cousins needs to turn it around in his first appearance at U.S. Bank Stadium since perhaps the best game of his career — a Monday night win over the 49ers in 2023.
Minnesota is riding its second five-game winning streak of the season. They need a win to stay one game behind the 12-1 Lions in the NFC North.
Quarterback Sam Darnold has seven total touchdowns and only one turnover in the last three games.
The Falcons are tied with the Buccaneers atop the NFC South; Atlanta holds…
