NFL playoff picture: Who’s in, out or clinched after Week 15?

But for now, if you’re wondering what the playoff picture looks like, you’ve come to the right place.

There have already been a few teams eliminated (sorry to your squad if you root for them, but here’s the NFL Draft order right now to help!) that we’ll also list below, but we’ll split it into the NFC and AFC and see who’s up, who’s down and who’s in between:
