Time flies when players are kneeling and the president is tweeting and owners are meeting and ratings are dropping and, in between it all, you somehow play nine weeks of games that have built exceptional playoff drama for the next two months. Phew.
As of Sunday
http://www.eaglesauthenticofficial.com/YOUTH+LEGARRETTE+BLOUNT+JERSEY evening, NFL teams had played more games (131)
http://www.authenticatlantabraves.com/Matt-Adams-Jersey than they have remaining (125) in the 2017 regular season. That means it's time to start focusing on the playoff push, one that realistically includes more than half of the league.
Below, you can see how the playoffs seeds -- six per conference -- would stand

The Steelers hit their stride heading into this week's bye, winning three consecutive games -- two of them away from Heinz Field -- to put a stranglehold on the AFC North race. They have a 2.5-game lead over the Baltimore Ravens (4-5) in the AFC North, and are the only team in that division with a winning record. FPI gives them a 96.9 percent chance to win the AFC North. Soon, if not already, the Steelers' focus will turn toward a pursuit of home-field advantage. They currently hold the edge because they have the AFC's best record in conference games (4-1), a key tiebreaker.
The AFC East is surprisingly competitive, with only one team below .500. And the Patriots still have five of their six divisional games remaining. They'll all come during the final six games of the season. So while we can reasonably ascribe them a good chance to win the AFC East -- FPI sees it at 89 percent -- the fact is that most of the crucial games have yet to

Losses in three of their past four games, after a 5-0 start, have raised questions about what kind of team the Chiefs will be at the end of the season. Fortunately, like the Steelers, they play in a division packed with teams under .500. (The gap would be wider were it not for a loss on the final play of a Week 7 game at Oakland.) The Chiefs have a chance to get back on track in Week 11 at the hapless New York Giants, and will have three consecutive games at Arrowhead Stadium in Weeks 14-16 -- a home stand that should help them clinch the division.
The Titans held on for a
Keith Tkachuk Youth jersey victory Sunday in one of the NFL's most significant playoff leverage games of the week. According to FPI, the Titans now have a 55 percent chance of making the postseason after their 23-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Had they lost, and absorbed a fourth conference loss, their chances would have fallen to 26 percent. At the moment, their Week 2 victory at Jacksonville looms large; it separates the Titans and Jaguars in these standings. The drama already is building for a Week 17 game between the teams in Nashville.
The Jaguars last made the playoffs in 2007. Between 2008-2016, they lost 102 games -- only four fewer than the Cleveland Browns. So this season's performance, featuring the stingiest defense in the league, has been quite a turnaround. All five of their victories have come in the AFC -- remember that if they're involved in wild-card tiebreakers -- but a home loss in Week 2 to the Titans could prove an obstacle toward winning the division title. Still, it's a relative accomplishment for the Jaguars to be in this conversation.
The Bills would
Keith Tkachuk Youth jersey have been leapfrogged if the Miami Dolphins had won Sunday night. As it is, they've had a strong first half but have a brutal stretch coming up. They'll host the New Orleans Saints next weekend, followed by games at the Los Angeles Chargers and at the Chiefs. Then in Week 13, they'll host the Patriots. If they can make it through that obstacle course, the Bills will deserve to be in the playoff race.
