- Los Angeles Chargers (10-6)
The Buffalo Bills locked themselves into the No. 2 seed with their blowout win over the New York Jets. Buffalo handed the Kansas City Chiefs their only loss of the regular season to date, but the Bills will likely have to go to Arrowhead Stadium to land the AFC’s berth in the Super Bowl.
Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers will fight it out for the AFC North title and the No. 3 seed in Week 18. Baltimore hosts the Cleveland Browns, while the Steelers welcome the Cincinnati Bengals to Acrisure Stadium.
Cincinnati needs a win over Pittsburgh and some additional help to get in as the final wild-card team in the AFC. The Indianapolis Colts were cleared out of the Bengals’ way with their surprising defeat to the New York Giants.
The Dolphins moved back ahead of the Bengals with a late-afternoon triumph against the Cleveland Browns. Denver gets into the postseason with a win, Miami qualifies with a win and Broncos loss, while the Bengals are in with a win and losses by both the Broncos and Dolphins.
