NFL playoff picture Week 16: Ravens, 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys only teams to clinch berths
There are three weeks left in the 2023 NFL regular season.
And just four teams have secured berths in the NFL Playoffs.
The Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are the NFL's only teams to have clinched spots in the postseason, providing plenty of intrigue for the NFL Week 16 schedule as several teams fight to keep their postseason hopes alive and others battle to improve their playoff seeding.
The top seed in each conference gets a bye in the wild card round of the NFL postseason and the other division winners get the No. 2 through No. 4 seeds.
The No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 seeds go to the non-division winners with the best records.
Here's how the NFC and AFC playoffs would look if the postseason began after NFL Week 15.
