Team Control
The seed that a team controls is the worst seed that team could get if they win out. These are often mutually exclusive because it is impossible for teams that play each other in future weeks to both win out. If a team changed controlled seed from last week, last week’s seed is noted in parentheses.
Teams that control the 1 seed:
GB
KC(3)
Teams that control the 2 seed:
NE(1)
Teams that control the 3 seed:
DAL
ARI
TEN(2)
Teams that control the 4 seed:
TB(2)
BUF(7)
BAL
CIN
Teams that control the 5 seed:
LAR
IND(7)
Teams that control the 6 seed:
SF
Teams that control the 7 seed:
LAC(4)
Teams that could win out and still miss the playoffs:
PHI
WAS
NYG
MIN
CHI
DET
NO
ATL
CAR
SEA
MIA
NYJ
PIT
CLE
HOU
JAX
DEN
