[ad_1]

The NFL playoff races are as wild and confusing as ever through the Saturday games in Week 15, making the homestretch of the season one we’ll likely remember. The AFC entered the weekend with 11 teams boasting winning records and six with 7-6 records, the most for a single conference through Week 14 since 1970.

The playoff standings are so crazy, we’ll be switching to a conference format rather than divisions from this point forward. Below, the tiebreakers for each team will be explained. 

Here’s a breakdown of the current standings and what each contender is facing as we progress through Week 15.
