The NFL is wrapping up the 2020 schedule on the first Sunday of 2021. The playoffs start next weekend, which means teams are punching their tickets into the postseason. The league expanded to 14 playoff teams this year, which means there are that many more spots up for grabs. We had seven open spots coming into the final Sunday, which is a record for the league.

The Browns and Ravens both clinched a playoff berth with wins on Sunday. The Dolphins are losing an ugly one to the Bills, which means they now have to wait for the Colts result. The Titans clinched a playoff berth the Dolphins loss. If the Colts win, they win the AFC South but if they lose, they’re headed home for the offseason. Meanwhile, the Bills clinch the No. 2 seed while the Steelers will be the No. 3 seed.
