The NFL Playoffs are just around the corner and teams are giving it a final push to try and qualify for the postseason. After the Week 15 round of games, a total of six teams have confirmed their places in the playoffs. There are still eight postseason spots available, with three more games for each team remaining in the regular season.
The Philadelphia Eagles (13-1) were the first team to qualify for the postseason and did so after their Week 14 win over the New York Giants. They were joined by the San Francisco 49ers (10-4), Minnesota Vikings (11-3), Buffalo Bills (11-3), Kansas City Chiefs (11-3), and Dallas Cowboys (10-4) in Week 15.
As things stand, the Vikings, Niners, and Chiefs are the three teams that have already clinched their respective divisional titles. The Eagles can win the NFC East title by beating the Cowboys in Week 16 or by winning any of their final three regular-season games.
