With three weeks remaining in the regular season, the NFL playoff picture is starting to come into focus
. Cincinnati is still just one game up on Baltimore in the AFC North, meaning Saturday’s game against New England is important for both teams.Tennessee, loser of four in a row, is reeling and now sits just a half-game up on Jacksonville in the AFC South. Without Ryan Tannehill under center, Malik Willis will be tasked with leading the group against the Texans, who have been positively frisky in their last two games.
However, Gardner Minshew has a chance to give the NFL’s best team thus far the NFC East crown and the No. 1 overall seed as early as Saturday afternoon.The Vikings aren’t out of the running for the top seed in the conference, but will likely be more focused on holding off the 49ers in the weeks to come. Time will tell what Kevin O’Connell’s team has left in the tank after last Saturday’s heroic comeback against the Colts.
