The Bills and Chiefs have clinched their divisions, the Lions and Eagles have clinched playoff berths, and 10 more playoff spots are up for grabs. Here’s how the playoff picture looks heading into Week 15:
NFC Playoff Picture
DIVISION LEADERS
1. Detroit Lions (12-1): Clinched a playoff berth.
2. Philadelphia Eagles (11-2): Clinched a playoff berth.
