NFL, Week 17
Digest more
The NFC West has a new leader and the top three teams have changed spots. The Seattle Seahawks are now the leader in the division, while the Arizona Cardinals remain in last place, the spot they have clinched.
Take a look at the updated NFL playoff picture with the standings in both the AFC and NFC after all the Week 16 games.
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 Commanders-Cowboys game will be streaming on Netflix on Christmas Day. There are no free trials offered by the service currently, but plans start at $7.99 per month. Like the 1 p.m. game, the afternoon game between the Vikings and Lions will be streaming on Netflix on Christmas Day.
If Los Angeles pulls this off, it will have the hardest-won division title in recent memory. At 11-4, they can steal the AFC West from the Broncos by winning out, despite Denver rattling off 11 straight wins from Week 4 to Week 15. Unfortunately for the Chargers, they couldn’t be less equipped to face the two teams they have to beat.
Over the last two decades, each NFC East team has accomplished at least something of note. The Giants and Eagles have won two Super Bowls each; the Cowboys have racked up a slew of 10-win seasons; even the Commanders played for an NFC title a year ago.
