Summary
A lazy show description writer would tell you that the playoffs are starting to come into focus, mostly because that's what people say this time of year. But in 2023, the picture isn't exactly coming into focus. Sure, seven teams have clinched playoff spots, but six divisions and both No. 1 seeds remain up for grabs. Plus, eight teams NOT currently in playoff position are within one game of a playoff spot. It's going to be a crazy final two weeks of the season. Robert Mays and Nate Tice are here to break down what's coming our way in Week 17 on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
