Through 11 weeks of the NFL season, a few teams have posed more questions than they’ve answered. For a myriad of reasons, this is especially true in 2018. Five teams are 5-5, each with one foot in the AFC playoff race while the other toes a potential top-10 pick.
Above the cluster of .500 teams are four division leaders, as well as the 7-3 Los Angeles Chargers. Since only six teams per conference make the postseason, it means five teams (at least) are competing for one playoff spot, barring any collapses on the part of the AFC’s current leaders.
