The AFC playoff field welcomed three teams after the Indianapolis Colts’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.
With the Colts’ 48-27 defeat, the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers, and Jacksonville Jaguars officially punched their tickets to the postseason.
The 11-4 Jaguars are currently the conference’s No. 3 seed but have yet to clinch the AFC South. The Houston Texans rank second in the division with a 10-5 record ahead of the season’s final two weeks.
The Bills are also 11-4 and sit as the conference’s No. 6 seed at the moment. They remain one game behind the 12-3 New England Patriots.
Finally, the Chargers place second in the AFC West at 11-4 behind the Denver Broncos, owners of a 12-3 mark. The Chargers visit the Broncos in their regular-season finale. Los Angeles wins the tiebreaker over Buffalo for the No. 5 seed for having a better record in conference games.
The Broncos and Patriots had already clinched their playoff spots in the AFC.
