Bills, Steelers earn major tiebreakers

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

On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 30-21, ultimately handing 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 penetrated.

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

And in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers, moving three teams one game behind the Arizona Cardinals in the sport’s tightest division.

But where does everyone look in the play-off picture for Monday night? Let’s break it all down.

Additional, all play-off odds are thanks to The Athletic’s model.

With a resounding 38-6 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, Denver has gained better control of a playoff spot. The Broncos have the Raiders, Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts next on the docket.

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 and stayed on the hunt as the New England Patriots came to town next.

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

Seattle Seahawks (5–5): By beating San Francisco, the Seahawks moved up one spot in the division, while also moving closer to a game against the NFC West-leading Cardinals, who they host on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers (5–5): San Francisco is still very much alive in the playoffs, but the urgency is increasing. The Niners face a decisive victory against the Packers next Sunday.
