Team Control
The seed that a team controls is the worst seed that team could get if they 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:
ARI
NE(2)
Teams that control the 2 seed:
GB
TEN(3)
Teams that control the 3 seed:
TB
BAL(1)
Teams that control the 4 seed:
DAL
WAS
BUF(3)
CIN(2)
KC
LAC
Teams that control the 5 seed:

Teams that control the 6 seed:
