Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. names the Chiefs, Broncos, and Patriots as the top AFC contenders this season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars could only watch from home as the rest of the AFC South division suited up in Week 8.

The New York Jets likely took the Cincinnati Bengals out of the AFC North hunt with their upset win. The Dallas Cowboys' playoff chances took a massive hit with their loss to the Denver Broncos, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers appear to be cruising toward their fifth straight NFC South title.

The AFC North standings perfectly convey the division's parity. No one is really eliminated from the race yet, not even last-place Cleveland, which is 2-6. The Baltimore Ravens are just above them at 2-5, with the Cincinnati Bengals only slightly better at 3-5. The Pittsburgh Steelers lead the way at 4-3.

Bills fans who are still scarred whenever anyone mentions "13 seconds" can take some solace in the fact that Allen boasts a 4-1 record against Mahomes in the regular season. In the postseason, however, Mahomes has the lopsided edge, beating Allen and the Bills four straight times dating back to the 2020 AFC title game.

Baltimore is considered a favorite over Pittsburgh despite a 2-5 record, but can they actually catch the Steelers?
