There are only seven weeks left in the regular season, and the playoff field is starting to come together.
The Detroit Lions didn’t miss a beat in the NFC race on Sunday. They cruised to another dominant 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars to move to 9-1 on the year. That marked the worst loss in Jaguars franchise history.
In the AFC, the Buffalo Bills knocked off the NFL’s last undefeated team on Sunday afternoon. The Bills grabbed a 30-21 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, which moved them to 9-2 on the year. The Chiefs, however, still hold a slight edge in the AFC standings and are in control of the top seed.
Here’s a look at where things stand playoff-wise as Week 11 of the NFL season wraps up.
