With only two weeks left in the 2025 NFL season, the playoff picture is beginning to come into focus. While several playoff berths have been clinched, division titles and No. 1 seeds remain up for grabs.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially been eliminated from postseason contention following their loss Sunday to the Los Angeles Chargers, bringing to a conclusion a streak of 10 straight playoff berths -- the second-longest postseason run in NFL history.
