Bye: No. 1 Detroit Lions (12-1, secured playoff spot)

No. 2 Philadelphia Eagles (11-2, secured playoff spot) vs. No. 7 Washington Commanders (8-5)

No. 3 Seattle Seahawks (8-5) vs. No. 6 Green Bay Packers (9-4)

No. 4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6) vs. No. 5 Minnesota Vikings (11-2)

On the hunt: Los Angeles Rams (8-6), Atlanta Falcons (6-7), Arizona Cardinals (6-7), San Francisco 49ers (6-8), New Orleans Saints (5-8), Dallas Cowboys (5-8) , Chicago Bears (4-9), Carolina Panthers (3-10)

The first NFC division champion could be crowned by Sunday.

The Eagles can claim the NFC East title, but it will take some help. They will be crowned division champions if they beat the Steelers at home and the Commanders also lose (or draw) on the road against the Saints.

If Philadelphia draws level with Pittsburgh, Washington’s loss to New Orleans would also tip the balance.

The only NFC team that can still secure a playoff spot in Week 15 is the Vikings. They can do this without help, as a win or a draw against the Bears on Monday night will be Minnesota’s ticket to the postseason.

The Vikings can also win if the Seahawks lose or tie at home against the Packers.

Three NFC teams can be eliminated from playoff contention in Week 15: the Panthers, the Cowboys and the Bears, each of which already has a chance of making it.

Carolina is eliminated with a home loss to Dallas. The Panthers would also be eliminated if either the Buccaneers (at the Chargers) or the Falcons (at the Raiders) lost this week.

Dallas will be eliminated if it loses in Carolina and Washington also wins/draws in New Orleans.

Chicago will be eliminated with either a loss in Minnesota or a win for Washington in New Orleans. The Bears would also be eliminated if they tied the Vikings or the Commanders tied the Saints.
