NFL Week 14 Playoff Scenarios

The Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers clinched their respective divisions in Week 13 and three more divisions can be wrapped up in Week 14.

The New England Patriots can clinch their straight AFC East title with a win over the Washington Redskins and a New York Jets loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The Patriots currently have a two-game lead over the Jets and have swept the regular season series.

With a win over the Cincinnati Bengals and a Tennessee Titans loss to the New Orleans Saints, the Houston Texans would win their first AFC South title.

The Saints can clinch the NFC South with a win over the Titans and an Atlanta Falcons loss to the Carolina Panthers. New Orleans would clinch a playoff spot with a win and losses by either the Detroit Lions or the Chicago Bears.

Though they've already clinched the NFC North, the Packers would clinch a first-round bye with a win or with a tie and a Saints loss or tie, or if just the Saints lose to the Titans.

Shifting back to the AFC, the Pittsburgh Steelers can clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night and losses by the Cincinnati Bengals, Jets and Titans OR with a win and losses by the Bengals, Jets, Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders OR with a win and losses by the Bengals, Titans, Broncos and Raiders.
