The NFL playoff picture began to unfold in Week 15.
The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams each won their respective games and will be playing well into January. The Broncos were able to hold off the Green Bay Packers while the Rams took care of the Detroit Lions.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs also learned their postseason fate. For the first time since the 2014 season, the Chiefs will not be part of the playoffs. Also, Mahomes will reportedly miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.

The Philadelphia Eagles put the Las Vegas Raiders behind them, snapping their losing streak. The Chicago Bears made it look easy against the Cleveland Browns. The Seattle Seahawks spoiled Philip Rivers’ return and kept pace with the Rams.
