Heading into Week 11, here’s the playoff picture for the 2025 NFL season.
AFC Standings: Week 11
| AFC Standings: Playoff Teams | Record |
|---|---|
| Indianapolis Colts (AFC South) | 8-2 |
| Denver Broncos (AFC West) | 8-2 |
| New England Patriots (AFC East) | 8-2 |
| Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC North) | 5-4 |
| Los Angeles Chargers (WC 1) | 7-3 |
| Buffalo Bills (WC 2) | 6-3 |
| Jacksonville Jaguars (WC 3) | 5-4 |
The Indianapolis Colts are first in the AFC with an 8-2 record. The Colts currently have a head-to-head win over the Denver Broncos, who are also 8-2, and a tiebreaker based on win percentage in conference games over the New England Patriots, who lead the AFC East at 8-2.
Despite losing three of their last four games, the Pittsburgh Steelers remain atop the AFC North at 5-4. If the playoffs ended today, the Steelers would host a playoff game as the No. 4 seed.
The Los Angeles Chargers (7-3), Buffalo Bills (6-3), and Jacksonville Jaguars (5-4) are the three Wild Card teams.
The AFC’s game of the week pits the Chiefs against the Broncos. If Denver wins this game, the Chiefs’ consecutive AFC West division streak will likely end at nine years.

The Philadelphia Eagles are first in the NFC after a pivotal win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. The defending Super Bowl champions are now in cruise control in the NFC East and should host at least one home playoff game this postseason.
The Seattle Seahawks are thriving with Sam Darnold as their quarterback. At 7-2, Seattle has a legitimate shot at the No. 1 seed. However, Seattle must fend off the Los Angeles Rams, who are also 7-2.
The Seahawks and Rams meet in Los Angeles in Week 11 in an important matchup that will affect seeding.
The Rams (7-2), Chicago Bears (6-3), and Green Bay Packers (5-3-1) are the three Wild Card teams.
Besides Seahawks-Rams, the other important game in the NFC this weekend sees the Lions heading to Philadelphia to play the Eagles.
