Top NFL teams are showing their strength heading into the playoffs. The Chiefs, Bills, and Vikings are all playing at a high level and are considered serious contenders for the Super Bowl.
The penultimate week of the regular season featured statement wins by the Chiefs , Bills , Ravens, Chargers, Eagles, Vikings and Commanders, who are all rounding into form as postseason nightmares for their opponents. The Ravens, Commanders and Chargers all move up, while the Steelers move out, opening a spot for the Rams, who have turned a 1-4 start into a 10-win season. They've grinded out wins and have earned their spot on the list.
And don't overlook the Packers, who nearly came all the way back against the Vikings. Here's my top 10 for Week 17 of the 2024 season. Do not look now, but the Chiefs are playing championship-caliber football heading into the tournament. The back-to-back champs are playing superb complementary football, with Patrick Mahomes quietly operating at a high level within a ball-control offense. With 11 pass touchdowns and zero interceptions over his past six games, the two-time MVP is finding his rhythm at the perfect time for the Chiefs to make a run at the three-peat. Kevin O'Connell is a masterful close-game coach, as evidenced by the Vikings' 26-9 record in one-possession games over the past three seasons. The team won another close one against a division rival, beating the Packers 27-25 on Sunday, giving Minnesota the inside track on the NFC's No. 1 seed. Given their superb execution in close games, the Vikings are built to play playoff football. The Bills take care of business like a title contender with their dominant dismissals of bottom-feeders. Josh Allen sets the tone with his no-nonsense playmaking style, enabling the offense to roll over overwhelmed opponents. The MVP front-runner totaled three touchdowns against the Jets to become the NFL's first player to reach 40 total TDs, passing and rushing, in five consecutive seasons. With another division title in the bag (Buffalo's fifth AFC East title in a row) and the No. 2 seed on lock, the Bills are well-positioned to make a Super Bowl ru
