Summary

The AFC playoffs could be missing some of the biggest names at QB that we have come to expect to see like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow. That means it is more important than ever that Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills find a way to win the AFC. If they can't this year, they could be doomed. Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens could still enter the party though. In the NFC South, the Carolina Panthers have two matchups with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to deliver a knockout punch and make the playoffs. The Seattle Seahawks are also still in striking distance of the Los Angeles Rams. Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs look like they may be officially out while the Chicago Bears are technically in, but BOTH teams could end up missing the playoffs this year if the Bears go into hibernation early.
