The AFC playoff picture is all set as the Cleveland Browns will take on rookie phenom C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans in the first round.
Much of the AFC playoff picture, however, came down to the wire as the Jacksonville Jaguars lost five of their last six to squander a massive lead in the AFC South. They missed the playoffs altogether as the Texans won the division and the Pittsburgh Steelers stole the last Wild Card spot.
Even the AFC East came down to the last regular season game of the year as the Buffalo Bills swiped the division from the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have now fallen from the second seed to the sixth seed in the AFC as a result.
Here is the finalized AFC playoff seeding as the Baltimore Ravens enjoy a first round bye, and the Browns and Texans get ready for their second bout in four weeks.
Baltimore Ravens (13-4)
