Minneapolis: So, Week 17 is in the books, and wow, what a ride! The Eagles are the NFC East champs after taking down the Cowboys. But the Colts? They’re out of the playoff race after losing to the Giants. Ouch!
Now, the NFC North is heating up. The Vikings just beat the Packers, and next week, they face the Lions. That game will decide who takes the division and the top seed in the NFC. The stakes couldn’t be higher!
Meanwhile, the Commanders clinched their playoff spot with a nail-biting overtime win against the Falcons. And the Rams? They snagged the NFC West title after a close game against the Cardinals. Talk about drama!
Over in the AFC, things are looking pretty set. The Chiefs secured the top seed with a solid win over the Steelers. The Chargers are in the mix too, thanks to their big win against the Patriots. And the Bengals? They’re still hanging on after beating the Broncos in overtime.
But the Broncos missed a golden chance to clinch a playoff spot. They’ll need to win against the Chiefs next week, who are already sitting pretty with that No. 1 seed.
As for the Bengals, they need a win against the Steelers and some help from other teams to sneak into the playoffs. The Dolphins are also in the hunt, needing a win against the Jets to secure their spot.
So, as we head into the final week, the playoff picture is shaping up nicely. It’s going to be a wild finish, and I can’t wait to see how it all plays out!
