Just one playoff spot remains open in the NFC and it’s down to whoever can win the lowly NFC South, but things are a lot more complicated over in the AFC. Five teams are fighting for what could end up being just one spot, based off of what the Cincinnati Bengals do against the Denver Broncos on Monday night.
Here’s a look at what each remaining team alive needs to have happen in order for them to make the playoffs this season.
