The NFL season is sadly coming to a close as we have officially hit Week 17 on Sunday, and with the early games that were played, we now have a better look at what the playoffs will look like.

With their win over the Cleveland Browns, a win that they desperately needed, the Baltimore Ravens were able to clinch the No. 6 seed over on the AFC side. Once again John Harbaugh and his crew will get a chance to chase another Super Bowl trophy, although it was far from an easy journey to get there this year.

Unfortunately, despite a pretty amazing effort this season at time, especially from the dynamic J.J. Watt, the Houston Texans were eliminated from contention on Sunday.

With all of that being said, here is a look at the updated playoff picture following the Week 17 early games on Sunday.

There is still a lot of action to go here in Week 17, including the pivotal elimination game being played between the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons currently for the NFC South title.

The end of the season is here, but the fun of the playoff race is just beginning.
