Don't look now, but the NFL playoffs are right around the corner. After Sunday's Week 15 games, the league's postseason picture inched closer to becoming a completed field, as Monday night's game between the Detroit Lions and New Orleans Saints doesn't hold any playoff implications.
Of the 12 playoff spots, six teams have clinched their spots. With two weeks left to go, there are divisional and wild-card spots up for grabs that are going to make the end of the season very exciting.
