As the weeks move along, the AFC and NFC are in 2 different places right now. In the AFC, you have the clear front runners in the Patriots and Steelers, followed by the 2nd-tier teams like the Jaguars and Titans, then you have everyone else. The fact that there are a host of teams with sub-.500 records still in the playoff hunt speaks volumes. Meanwhile in the NFC, there are 7 arguably elite (or very close to it) teams all fighting for important seeding position in an attempt to get a home game (or more) in the playoffs. Hold tight, folks. It’s going to be a wild finish this season.
