The AFC looks much different than it did a week ago.

On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 30–21, finally giving the two-time defending champions their first loss of the season. Suddenly, the Bills are in play for the top seed with the AFC East all but clinched.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers now have a 1.5 game lead on the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North after beating them 18–16. The North has become a two-team race after seeing the Cincinnati Bengals lose on Sunday night in Los Angeles. 

And in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers, putting three teams a game behind the Arizona Cardinals in the sport’s tightest division.

But how does everyone stand in the playoff picture going to Monday night? Let’s break it all down.

IN THE HUNT

Indianapolis Colts (5–6): With a last-minute win over the New York Jets, Anthony Richardson and the Colts remain in the race. Now, for a date with the one-loss Lions at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Miami Dolphins (4–6): The Dolphins handled the Raiders on Sunday, staying in the hunt with the New England Patriots coming to town next.

Cincinnati Bengals (4–7): The Bengals could probably make the playoffs by winning out, but after losing to the Chargers in excruciating fashion, Cincinnati needs a miracle.

After losing to the Eagles, Washington is now 1.5 games back in the NFC East and, at least until it plays Philadelphia again in December, will be relegated to playing for a wild-card spot.

IN THE HUNT

Los Angeles Rams (5–5): The Rams were expected to handle the Patriots and did so behind four Matthew Stafford touchdown passes. Now, Los Angeles comes home to host the Eagles on Sunday night.

Seattle Seahawks (5–5): By beating San Francisco, the Seahawks moved up a spot in the division while also closing to within a game of the NFC West-leading Cardinals, whom they host on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers (5–5): San Francisco is still very much alive in the playoff picture, but urgency is growing. The Niners face a borderline must-win against the Packers next Sunday.
