This year’s playoff picture is much different than a year ago and it’s by design.

The current playoff picture in the NFL just goes to show you that this is most certainly a .500 league. If the season ended today, only four teams from last year would return to the playoffs in 2017. The Patriots, Seahawks, Steelers, and Chiefs would be the only repeats at the moment. The league loves parity and they get plenty of it every season.
