Houston: The Texans are on fire! They just clinched the AFC South for the second year in a row. They took down the Dolphins 20-12, which was a big deal. That win pushed Miami to the edge of missing the playoffs.
Things got even better for Houston when the Broncos beat the Colts 31-13. The Colts really struggled, especially after a fumble that should’ve been a touchdown and a bad interception on a trick play. Ouch!
Now, the Texans are officially in the playoffs, joining the Chiefs, Steelers, and Bills. Meanwhile, the Bears had a rough Sunday. They didn’t even play, but they were knocked out of the playoff race anyway. The Commanders won a close one against the Saints, sealing the Bears’ fate.
Chicago’s season has been a rollercoaster. They started strong at 4-2 but have lost seven straight games since then. They even fired their head coach mid-season, which is pretty rare for them. It’s been a tough few years for the Bears, missing the playoffs for the fourth time in a row.
On the draft side, the Giants briefly held the No. 1 pick after losing to the Ravens, but the Raiders snatched it back with their loss to the Falcons. It’s all shaking up as we head into the final weeks of the season.
So, that’s the scoop on the NFL playoff picture after Week 15. Exciting times ahead!
