NFL Playoff Bracket 2017: Updated AFC, NFC Wild-Card and Postseason Picture

The 2017 NFL playoff picture is gradually coming into focus, and Sunday’s action went a long way toward determining the six AFC teams.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced they clinched a spot in the playoffs when the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Baltimore Ravens. Kansas City then proceeded to beat the Denver Broncos to remain alive in the AFC West race and eliminate the defending Super Bowl champions from the postseason entirely.

That means the Miami Dolphins will also be in the playoffs, and only seeding remains to be determined in the AFC.

The Dallas Cowboys clinched home-field advantage in the NFC, and the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons secured division titles but still have to wait for their ultimate seed.

With all that in mind, here is a look at the complete and current postseason picture with Week 17 looming. The standings are per NFL.com, while the tiebreaker explanations are per CBS Sports.
