Week 14 NFL Schedule and Playoff Scenarios
The Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles have already secured a spot in the playoffs, while the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings are on the cusp of clinching their berths.
Meanwhile, Sunday’s action will feature a key matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks, with the Packers needing to win to secure a playoff spot. A victory by the Packers, along with an Atlanta Falcons loss or tie and a tie between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, would clinch a playoff berth for Green Bay.
In another important contest, the Minnesota Vikings will travel to face the Chicago Bears on Monday, with the Vikings needing to win or tie to secure their playoff spot. A Minnesota victory, combined with a loss or tie by the Los Angeles Rams or Seattle Seahawks, would guarantee their spot in the postseason.
Finally, the Philadelphia Eagles will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, with the Eagles needing to win in combination with a Washington Redskins loss or tie to secure the NFC East division title. A tie by the Eagles, however, would require a Washington loss.
These key matchups will go a long way in determining the final shape of the NFC standings, as teams jostle for position in the upcoming playoffs.
