NFL Playoff Bracket Picture 2024-25: AFC, NFC Standings After Week 13 Early Slate | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

5. Los Angeles Chargers (8-4)

Pittsburgh and Houston both won in Sunday’s early window to keep the leads in their respective divisions.

The Steelers earned another AFC North win by beating the Cincinnati Bengals, while the Texans downed the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Pittsburgh received some help in the AFC North race from the Eagles in the late-afternoon window. The Steelers are now 1.5 games in front of the Ravens as Baltimore hits its bye week.

The Los Angeles Chargers also benefited from the Ravens’ loss, as they moved up into the No. 5 seed. LA needs to be in front of Baltimore on record because the Ravens own the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Chargers.

The bottom of the wild-card race got a bit more interesting after the Indianapolis Colts’ last-second win over the New England Patriots.

Indianapolis put some pressure on the Denver Broncos going into Denver’s Monday matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

Denver can move back ahead of the Colts by two games with a win.

The Buffalo Bills can clinch the AFC East title with a Sunday night win over the San Francisco 49ers. They own a 4.5-game edge on the Miami Dolphins going into that game.
