Week 14 saw one more team clinch a playoff spot (the Eagles), and multiple others were officially eliminated.
Already, six teams in the AFC have had the postseason door slam in their faces. That leaves 10 teams scrambling for seven spots.
And it’s actually eight jockeying for five, since the Chiefs and Bills already have clinched.
Here’s a look at every game played on the fourteenth Sunday of the 2024 season.
Dolphins 32, Jets 26 (OT).
