Which teams have qualified for the 2023 NFL playoffs?
Before this weekend, there were several playoff spots available in the NFL. Here are all the teams that have officially made it to the postseason.
It’s always a chaotic last week of the regular season in the NFL, and this year was no different. The Tennessee Titans surprised everyone with a 28-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, which significantly impacted the AFC playoff race. Had Jacksonville won, they would have claimed the AFC South title, but now they are out of the playoffs.
Following Tennessee’s win, the Houston Texans secured the AFC South, and the Pittsburgh Steelers clinched a playoff berth. The Buffalo Bills also secured their spot in the playoffs, while the Jaguars were eliminated. The Bills ended the season on a high note with a win over the Miami Dolphins, earning the AFC East title. What’s remarkable about their victory is that they became only the fourth team in NFL history to win a division after being down by at least three games in the standings with five or fewer games left on the schedule.
In the NFC, the Green Bay Packers clinched the final playoff spot with a 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The Los Angeles Rams also secured a playoff berth with a 21-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers and will now face the Detroit Lions in the wild-card round.
