NFL Playoff Picture Ravens slide into wild card position Steelers sit atop AFC

Sunday afternoon brought some clarity to the NFC playoff picture, with both the and winning and putting themselves in an excellent position to try and lock up the NFC wild cards and/or compete with the for the division title.But because they stepped up their game, it pushed a pair of teams far enough back that the playoffs are no longer attainable. Specifically, the Giants and 49ers, both of whom were bounced from the playoffs during the early portion of the games on Sunday.The Giants were beat down by the on Thanksgiving and were effectively done, but they are mathematically eliminated now. The 49ers have one win -- over the Giants no le s! -- and were not going to make the postseason anyway. Now, they definitely will not.And the other team eliminated, well, you can probably gue s if I told you it's an AFC team. Or maybe you would have already a sumed that the were mathematically eliminated before this week. Not true. They before this week. Now they are done. It's fascinating to think about these three teams and the long haul. The 49ers are firmly locked in with John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan as GM and head coach. They have at quarterback (can we, uh, see what he looks like, Kyle?). There is some hope with that franchise.The Browns have ... um, a lot of a draft picks! They have talent on defense, too. But they need to solve that pesky quarterback problem. That's first up for this offseason, although it's po sible that Jimmy Haslam gets sick of Hue Jackson or gets sick of Sashi Brown and decides to blow things up again this offseason. Anything is on the table.The Giants should look carefully at the Browns and realize just how dangerous things can get if they don't tread carefully. It feels likely New York will get rid of Ben McAdoo and Jerry Reese this offseason, but there's still a lot to be decided. Eli Tyrel Dodson Jersey Manning's future is up in the air, too; the Giants have any number of different paths open to them moving forward. , as well as a snapshot of some games that could impact what it looks like after Week 12 and beyond. 1. (9-2) The Steelers don't always make it easy, but they managed to beat the at home Sunday night and stay in a dogfight with the Patriots for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Their head-to-head matchup will probably determine who plays host to the AFC Championship Game. 2. (9-2) The Patriots destroyed the on Sunday and even managed to cover a ma sive 16.5-point spread. They are tracking for a bye. 3. (7-4) There is no real reason why the Titans should have won or covered against the . And they're not even the worst playoff team in the field. Pretty incredible that Tenne see is now the division leader after Jacksonville lost. 4. (6-4) The Chiefs are kind of collapsing and losing control over a division that was completely locked up five games into the season. They have only a one-game lead somehow. 5. (7-4) The Jaguars showed exactly why we can't trust them Sunday, losing to Arizona thanks to a back-breaking interception from with little time on the clock and overtime on the way. They lost the Revenge Game. What a world. 6. Baltimore Ravens (6-5) The Ravens beat the at home Monday night and leapfrogged the Bills with a tiebreaker to remain firmly in the playoff race.7. Buffalo Bills (6-5): returned to the starting lineup for the Bills and helped Buffalo upend the Chiefs in Kansas City. Buffalo is a playoff contender with Tyrod under center. With ? Not so much.8. (5-6):An easy victory against the Browns has the Bengals positioned to make a playoff run despite not ever really looking like a great football team. finally had that breakout game! 9. (5-6):A leap up the standings with a huge win over the on Thanksgiving. Their favorable schedule make this a team to watch.10. (5-6):The Raiders kept their playoff hopes alive with a Sunday afternoon victory over the .11. (4-7):The Jets played pretty hard against Carolina but ultimately made too many mistakes and ended up losing. 12. Miami Dolphins (4-7): They got destroyed by the Patriots in Foxborough and couldn't even manage to cover the 16-point spread.13. Houston Texans (4-7):The Texans tried to hang tough with Baltimore but ultimately came up short and probably saw their longshot playoff hopes evaporate.14. Indianapolis Colts(3-8): No one gags away a second-half lead quite like the Indianapolis Colts. 15. Denver Broncos (3-8): did not look very good and the Broncos continued to sink deeper.AFC: Who's eliminated16. Cleveland Browns (0-11):The Browns haven't won on a Sunday since December 2015. 1. (9-1) The Eagles cruised to an easy victory against the Bears on Sunday. It was never remotely close. 2. (9-2) Just another dominating win for a Minnesota team that we're sleeping on because is at quarterback. Maybe it's time to start buying into Keenum. 3. (8-3) The Saints' defense might have gotten a little exposed, thanks to injury, in their lo s to the Rams in Los Angeles. L.A.'s defense, however, looks legitimate, and the Rams now have the opportunity to make a push for a first-round bye. 4. New Orleans Saints (8-3) With lo ses to the Rams and Vikings, the Saints might have a tough time landing a bye, but they still hold the division lead even after dropping the game to Los Angeles. 5. Carolina Panthers (8-3) It wasn't pretty, and suffered another foot injury, but Carolina got out of New York Boogie Basham Jersey with a win over the Jets. Wins are wins when you're playing catch up in the NFC South. 6. Atlanta Falcons (7-4) Atlanta took care of busine s against the , but they definitely let Tampa hang around longer than they should have.7. (7-4):Seattle easily handled San Francisco and kept its playoff hopes alive. They have a tough road coming, however.8. (6-5):Devastating home lo s for Detroit to the Vikings, because the Lions fell down one spot in the NFC race and now find themselves needing help to climb back into both the division and NFC wild-card races.9. Green Bay Packers (5-6):Green Bay played much better on Sunday night but they really needed to steal that game in order to stay afloat and hope can come back.10. Dallas Cowboys (5-6):The Cowboys were once again dismantled in the second half of a game, getting blown out by the Chargers on national television. Jerry Jones is likely stewing and the Cowboys' playoff hopes are in serious trouble.11. Washington Redskins (5-6):The Redskins snuck out a 10-point victory against the Giants on Thanksgiving night despite a litany of injuries. 12. (4-6):It sounds like and won't come back this season, but in good news, the Cardinals managed a big win against a potential playoff team with Blaine Gabbert under center on Sunday.13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-7):Never really a threat in Atlanta, the Buccaneers are fairly irrelevant at this point. 14. (3-8):This is a bad football team and it got manhandled by the Eagles on Sunday early. NFC: Who's eliminated15. (2-9):The Giants are just undermanned at this point -- the roster around couldn't keep up with Washington on Thanksgiving night and it showed late. 16. (1-9):The 49ers didn't even have to play before they got eliminated.
