The NFL playoff picture is as tight as ever heading into Week 14 of the 2025 season.
The Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals are among the AFC teams that still have a shot at making the playoffs and are currently on the outside looking in. In the NFC, the Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings have a chance to still get into their position.
Those teams will be in focus heading into the week, especially as the Lions and Cowboys begin Thursday night.

In addition, several star players were able to reach historic milestones.
Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett is half a sack away from passing Aldon Smith for second most sacks through 13 games.
Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes can become the sixth player in NFL history with at least 25 touchdown passes in eight straight seasons. He faces an uphill battle to achieve that goal as Kansas City takes on the Houston Texans.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff needs 300 passing yards to join Mahomes and former Falcons star Matt Ryan as the only players with 45 games of 300 or more yards in their first 10 seasons.
There is a lot at stake this week.
