Jasen Vinlove/USA TODAY Sports
We're less than four weeks away from the first playoff games of the 2020 season, and the postseason picture is beginning to take shape across the NFL. The Chiefs and Steelers are cruising to the top seeds in the AFC, while the NFC is a bit more log-jammed. We could see plenty of drama down the stretch as teams jockey for postseason positioning.
The Saints became the NFL's first team to clinch a playoff berth in Week 13's 21-16 win over the Falcons. The Chiefs joined them later that night with a 22-16 victory over the Broncos, then clinched the AFC West with Sunday's 33-27 win over Miami. The Dolphins loss clinched a playoff berth for the Steelers before Pittsburgh matchup with the Bills on Sunday night.
The Packers secured the NFC North by beating the Lions, 31-24, behind another strong performance from Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers threw for 290 yards and three touchdowns (with one rushing) as Green Bay improved to 10-3.
