The AFC postseason bracket is murky at best. There is only one team that earned a spot in Week 16 and that was Denver Broncos. There are five teams with at least 11 wins and six teams with at least 10 wins.
By the end of Sunday night, the New England Patriots had become the second team to make the AFC playoffs.
Close loss to the Detroit Lions Pittsburgh Steelers meant they were living on a prayer to make the playoffs. It also meant the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers took over. Also included since Week 16 are the Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams.
