Four teams have already clinched a playoff spot in the NFC postseason race: the San Francisco 49ers, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys. Another four, the Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Commanders and New York Giants, have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention entirely.
With just two weeks left in the regular season, the once wide-open NFC race has become a little bit more clear. Now, eight teams are fighting for three final playoff bids: the NFC South title and two remaining wild card spots.
