The regular season is entering the home stretch. With two matchdays remaining, the NFL playoffs are about to begin – some teams have already secured their ticket. Further postseason decisions could be made in Week 17.
After the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams qualified for the playoffs in Week 15, eight more teams booked their tickets to the postseason last week, including the Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, and Chicago Bears.
That leaves four spots still up for grabs, while the battle for home-field advantage and byes in the wild-card round is also in full swing.
