Here's a look at how each team stands after Sunday's Week 14 action ...
1. Baltimore Ravens (10-3)
2. Miami Dolphins (9-3)
3. Kansas City Chiefs (8-5)
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (8-5)
5. Cleveland Browns (8-5)
6. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6)
7. Indianapolis Colts (7-6)
8. Houston Texans (7-6)
9. Denver Broncos (7-6)
10. Cincinnati Bengals (7-6)
11. Buffalo Bills (7-6)
The Steelers and Colts occupy the final two Wild Card spots for the moment due to their divisional wins against teams in their own division. Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati and Indianapolis beat Houston earlier in the season.
The Broncos, Bills, Bengals, and Texans are now involved in a four-way tiebreaker, which the Texans win after going 4-4 in the AFC.
The Broncos, Bills, and Bengals go to a three-way tie, and the Bills & Broncos advance based on their AFC record, but Denver is ahead of Buffalo after their Week 10 meeting.
Buffalo and Cincinnati go to a head-to-head tiebreaker, which the Bengals win after to their victory over the Bills in Week 9.
But with four games to go in the season, and many games between these teams left to go, the AFC playoff picture will experience some seismic shifts over the next month.
