With just four weeks left in the 2022 NFL regular season, the playoff picture is shaping up.
The Philadelphia Eagles have clinched their playoff spot in the NFC, and the San Francisco 49ers officially won the NFC West after their win over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. The Minnesota Vikings clinched the NFC North with a win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night, and the Buffalo Bills earned a playoff berth with a win over the Miami Dolphins.
However, the remaining teams in both conferences are still looking to lock in their spots for the postseason and have a chance to do so in Week 15.
