Playoffs? Playoffs?!
Well, Jim Mora, the NFL regular season has just five weeks left to play. It’s getting to be that time to turn our attention ahead to the 2024 NFL playoffs schedule.
As of the conclusion of Week 13, two AFC teams have clinched playoff berths and all seven NFC playoff spots are still up for grabs. Four teams have also been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, meaning there are 26 teams still competing for one of the last 12 playoff spots available.
The playoffs start in just over a month, and this final home stretch of the regular season will determine plenty: not only which teams qualify, but also divisional titles, seeding and which teams will get the first-round bye.
Here’s when the 2024 NFL playoffs start:
