The 2025 NFL playoff picture became clearer Sunday night, with the Kansas City Chiefs' chances of making the postseason and a fourth, consecutive Super Bowl seemingly dashed by the Houston Texans.

Broncos, Patriots, Jaguars, Steelers lead AFC; Rams, Packers, Seahawks top NFC with wild-card races tightening.

This outcome changed the entire playoff seeding, turning the Packers from a Wild Card contender into a division leader, and simultaneously created a three-way logjam at the top of the NFC North/wild card race with the Bears and the Detroit Lions (8-5).

Where are Eagles, Buccaneers, Seahawks, 49ers, Patriots, Jaguars, Bills, Chargers, Colts, Lions, Chiefs, Texans, Ravens now?

The four division champions from each conference make the playoffs and are seeded No. 1 through No. 4 based on record. The three remaining teams in each conference with the best record qualify for the postseason as wild-card teams and are seeded No. 5 through No. 7.

The 2025 NFL season has officially reached its home stretch. As we ready for this weekend, only five full weeks of regular-season action remain until the start of the playoffs. The postseason picture is far from finalized,

The AFC wild-card picture was thrown into a chaotic crucible as Week 14 concluded, carving out a dangerous separation between the contenders and those sliding toward the elimination zone. On Sunday, there was tons of action and division-altering results.

If one thing became clear in Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season, it is that parody reigns supreme in professional football.
