NFL Playoff Picture: Every updated playoff scenario heading into Week 18

The NFL playoff picture is still very muddled in the wild card for both conferences heading into Week 18.

The Bills and Steelers clinched a playoff berth with the Titans' upset win over Jacksonville, while the Texans won the AFC South. Jacksonville, once 8-3, will not make the playoffs.

It should be a fascinating next two days. Find every NFL playoff scenario below, and come back throughout the weekend as it is updated.
