The NFL postseason is creeping closer each week. With that, comes a lot of craziness. This late in the year, we could start to see a lot of teams clinch their spots in the playoffs.
So far, the New Orleans Saints have already achieved that feat. What's wild though is that it's only Week 14. The reason it's wild is because of just how many teams can get in.
According to Darin Gantt of ProFootballTalk.com, six other teams can clinch a postseason spot in various forms. However, it's almost impossible that each of those six teams clinches just yet. Those six teams are the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks.
The Ravens need a win (over Buffalo) and for the Steelers to lose or tie. They could also clinch by tying but the Steelers lose. This would give them the AFC North title.
Meanwhile, the Bills need to beat Baltimore (see where the problems come into play) and for the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and Oakland Raiders to all lose or tie.
Kansas City needs a win over the Patriots and a Raiders loss. That will lead to an AFC West title for them.
The Patriots can clinch their spot with a win or a number of losses (or ties) from various other teams (Raiders, Colts, Tennessee Titans and Steelers).
San Francisco need to beat the Saints and have get a loss or tie from the Los Angeles Rams against Seattle.
Finally, the Seahawks simply need to win against or tie with the Rams.
That's a lot of craziness that can happen. Buckle up for a fun and wild Week 14.
