NFL: Race in the AFC reaching climax

The NFC playoffs spots may be all but decided but the AFC is going right to the wire with a string of teams still fighting to prolong their season.

From the NFC, the New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers have booked the places and only positional seedings are up for grabs in Week 17.

But the final week has major implications in the AFC, where the Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals are all heading for the playoffs. That leaves two spots remaining and a lot of contenders to fill them.

The Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars are all still in the mix, though only the Ravens and Jets have full control of their own destiny.

There are bound to be plenty of twists and turns but by the end of the weekend, all will become clear.
