There are just four weeks remaining in the 2024 NFL regular season, and the playoff picture is becoming clearer. Seven teams are already eliminated from the postseason, while four more have already clinched berths: the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
The Bills and Chiefs won their division titles in Weeks 13 and 14, respectively, while the Lions are in a tight race with the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North crown. The Eagles and Houston Texans can secure their division titles this weekend, but the AFC North, NFC South and NFC West are very much up for grabs.
Let’s take a look at Week 15 clinching scenarios for five teams.
