As the NFL enters Week 15 and the playoff picture becomes more clear, 23 teams technically remain in the hunt for a Super Bowl after the 2017 season. Two of those teams, the Eagles and Steelers, have already clinched playoff berths. That means 21 teams will fight for 10 playoff spots over the next three weeks.
The good news for the Packers and Cowboys as they prepare for the returns of Aaron Rodgers and Ezekiel Elliott, respectively: They are among the teams still alive for a playoff berth. The bad news for the Packers and Cowboys: Only the Raiders, Cardinals, Bengals and Jets have worse chances to reach the postseason.
WEEK 15: Playoff picture | Clinching scenarios
Four teams — the Vikings, Rams, Patriots and Jaguars — have chances to clinch playoff spots in Week 15, meaning scoreboard watching might be a factor for at least some of the 17 other contenders who have not clinched.
Here are the playoff percentages for all 21 teams that remain in the hunt for a playoff berth in 2017.
