Summary
There are 17 regular season games remaining in the 2022 NFL season, and the playoff picture is finally starting to come into focus. The Buccaneers and Giants both clinched playoff spots on Sunday, while the Packers are one win away from turning a 4-8 start into a playoff berth. The final Wild Card spot in both conferences remains up for grabs, as does the top seed on either side of the bracket. Robert Mays and Nate Tice break it all down through the lens of Week 17 on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
