And while the current NFL playoff picture is pretty clear in AFC (six of the seven teams have clinched spots) and the NFC (two spots are available), that means there are still squads that are very much alive heading into the penultimate week of regular-season action.

The Miami Dolphins’ path to the postseason has become awfully simple. After a 20-3 win against the Cleveland Browns, the Dolphins are 8-8 and just a game behind the 9-7 Denver Broncos for the final playoff spot in the AFC. Thanks to a superior record against AFC teams, the Dolphins would win a tiebreaker if both teams finished 9-8.

The Eagles still only need a win or a tie to clinch the NFC East. The chase after the playoff 1 seed is pretty much over unless they get some heavy help.

The Bengals, Colts and Dolphins must win in Week 17 to have any shot to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Bengals host the Broncos on Saturday, the Colts travel to the Giants on Sunday and the Dolphins are in Cleveland on Sunday.

Nine of 14 teams have already secured their playoff spots. Here's what to know about the clinching scenarios for Week 17.

Thanks to their blowout win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Denver Broncos are in the playoffs as the No. 7 seed in the AFC. Game update (Saturday night): With the Bengals’ win, the Broncos need to win if they want to be in the playoffs.

Here's what to know about the Denver Broncos regular season finale, including how to watch the game vs. the Chiefs and Broncos playoff scenarios.
