With just three weeks left in the 2022 NFL regular season, the playoff picture is shaping up. More teams have claimed their spots in the NFC and AFC. However, the race to the playoffs continues as top teams in both conferences are still looking to lock in their spots for the postseason and have a chance to do so in Week 16.
The Buffalo Bills clinched their third consecutive AFC East title with a 35-13 win over the Chicago Bears on Saturday. The Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals are looking to make final pushes in their quests for the AFC North title. While that race is still undecided, the Ravens clinched a playoff berth with a win over the Atlanta Falcons and losses by the New England Patriots and New York Jets. Meanwhile, the New York Giants‘ quest for a playoff berth is still unresolved after a walk-off loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Philadelphia Eagles couldn’t wrap up the NFC East and the NFC’s No. 1 seed, losing to the Dallas Cowboys.
