The NFL playoff picture received a bit of clarity in Week 11, as a few franchises took charge in their respective races, while others left the door open for other competitors to challenge them.
In the AFC, Pittsburgh jumped over New England into the No. 2 seed, while Baltimore took control of the battle for the second wild-card position behind the Los Angeles Chargers.
One of the two tight divisional races under the spotlight in the NFC got murkier, as Washington's lead in the NFC East is now down to one game, while Chicago opened up an advantage on Minnesota in the NFC North.
