Buffalo Bills (11-3), champions, AFC Joshua Kelley Jersey East. The Bills clinched their first division title in a quarter-century and their second straight playoff berth with a win over the Broncos on Saturday in Denver.

Pittsburgh Steelers (11-3), first place, AFC North.The Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger especially have looked bad during their three-game losing streak, with the lo s at the Justin Herbert Jersey Bengals in Week 15 giving them a new low.,They still lead the Browns by only one gamein the division and holdthe head-to-head tiebreaker plus the division-record tiebreaker. The Steelers have clinched a playoff berth but are suddenly in danger of dropping into a wild card with a potential winner-take-North game in Week 17.Remaining schedule:vs. IND, at CLE4. Tenne see Titans (10-4), firstplace, AFC South.The Titans can'tcatch the Chiefs, whom they don't play, and they have already lost to the Steelers. They do have a key win over the Bills. They still hold thedivision-record tiebreaker over the Colts with a 4-1 record in South play. If the Titans were to drop down to wild-card status, then they would lose the head-to-head tiebreaker to the Brows.Remaining schedule:at GB, at HOU5. Cleveland Browns (10-4), second place, AFC North.The Browns beat the Giants in Week 15 to stay ahead of the Colts by a head-to-head tiebreaker and keep both the Dolphins and Ravens a game back.The Browns also have a head-to-head tiebreaker against the Titans should the South change hands in the final three weeks.

Indianapolis Colts (10-4), second place, AFC South. The Colts are putting it all together at the right time with only one tough game left: at the Steelers in Week 16. Their lo ses to the Browns and Ravens hurt, so beating the Raiders and the Texans twice was huge.That got them into a virtual tie with the Titans, with whom they split. They need to keep winning to keep pace and hope the Titans stumble once.Remaining schedule: at PIT, vsJAX7. Miami Dolphins (9-5), second place, AFC East.The Dolphins still have this wild-card spot ahead of the Ravens Charlie Joiner Jersey because their conference record is a half-game better, 6-4 vs. 6-5.They fell a full game back of No. 6 in Week 14 with their lo s to the Chiefs and the Colts' win in Las Vegas.

Baltimore Ravens (9-5)9. Las Vegas Raiders(7-7)The Ravens close with winnable games against theGiants and Bengals as they try to catch the Dolphins, who for now hold a tiny tiebreaker against them.

The Raiders are hanging on by a threadafter consecutive home lo ses to the Colts and Chargers.Who's out 10. New England Patriots (6-8)11. Denver Broncos (5-9)12. Los Angeles Chargers (5-9)13. Houston Texans (4-10)14. Cincinnati Bengals(3-10-1)15. New York Jets (1-13)16. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-13)The Patriots became too inconsistent to getback into the wild-card race and their lo s to the Rams in Week 14 kept them from getting back above .500.The Week 15 lo s at the Dolphins officially eliminated them.The Broncos and Texans are doing better than expected of late, but it's morethinking aboutnext year for both teams. The Chargers can think about what could have been with all their close lo ses, despite two recent wins. The Bengals were done when Joe Burrow went down in Week 11. The Jaguars and Jets are battling for the top draft pick and the order finally changed with the Jaguars losing again and the Jets winning in Week 15.MORE: The referenced media source is mi sing and needs to be re-embedded.NFC playoff pictureWho would be in? 1.
