As it stands the postseason looks like this:

AFC: 1) Denver 12-2; 2) New England 11-3; 3) Jacksonville 10-4; 4) Pittsburgh 7-6; 5) LA Chargers 10-4; 6) Buffalo 10-4; 7) Houston 9-5. Bubble: Indianapolis 8-6

NFC: 1) LA Rams 11-3; 2) Chicago 10-4; 3) Philadelphia 9-5; 4) Tampa Bay 7-7; 5) Seattle 11-3; 6) San Francisco 10-4; 7) Green Bay 9-4-1. Bubble: Detroit 8-6

And the Chiefs are eliminated with Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL. Micah Parsons also appears to have sustained a knee injury for Green Bay who take a big drop to the seventh seed after losing. On that bomb shell, goodnight!

Final scores

  • (12-2) Denver Broncos 34-26 Green Bay Packers (9-4-1)

  • (11-3) Los Angeles Rams 41-34 Detroit Lions (8-6)
