San Francisco (10-3) stands as the No. 1 seed
in the NFC entering Week 15. The 49ers received the initial
entry into the NFL postseason by virtue of the Giants' win over
the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
The 49ers have the same record as the Philadelphia Eagles and
Dallas Cowboys. San Francisco beat both teams in head-to-head
matchups and can secure the NFC West division title this
weekend.
Green Bay is one of five 6-7 teams in the NFC and holds the
seventh and final playoff spot in the conference through 13
games.
Right behind the Packers are the Giants and Bears -- 5-8
entering Week 15 -- and still very much alive while also
currently looking at top 10 draft picks based on their 2023
record. Chicago and Green Bay play in the regular-season finale
Week 18 at Soldier Field.
The Baltimore Ravens (10-3) are alone in first place in the AFC
following the loss by the Miami Dolphins (9-4) on Monday night
to the Tennessee Titans.
Kansas City (8-5) and Jacksonville (8-5) lead their respective
divisions by narrow margins to currently sit No. 3 (Chiefs) and
No. 4 (Jaguars) in the conference.
At No. 5 are the Cleveland Browns (8-5), a game up on the
Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) and Indianapolis Colts (7-6).
The Colts play the Steelers on Saturday and Cleveland hosts the
Bears.
Three teams with 6-7 records are angling for position in the NFC
South. Tampa Bay, outscored 270-262 this season, is 5-4 in the
NFC and own head-to-head victories of the Minnesota Vikings
(7-6) and Bears with a trip to Lambeau Field to play the Packers
this week.
