A few weeks ago, many were ready to give up on the Bengals and Bills after each endured multiple chaotic stretches through the season. But after entering the year with Super Bowl aspirations, they might now find a way to make the postseason after critical wins in Week 14—Cincinnati and Buffalo are two of six teams with 7–6 records in the AFC.
The Ravens likely don’t have to sweat about making the playoffs, but they too picked up a much-needed win to put themselves in line for the No. 1 seed in the AFC after Miami’s disastrous loss Monday. Lamar Jackson’s Ravens and Matthew Stafford’s Rams provided one of the best games of the 2023 season.
The Chiefs’ hopes for the No. 1 seed took a hit after the Bills handed them a second consecutive loss, one that ended in controversial fashion.
