5 NFL teams are competing for 1 playoff spot — here's how each one can lock it up
The race for the NFL playoffs is on, with five teams essentially competing for one remaining spot in the NFC.
The Vikings, Panthers, Eagles, Redskins, and Packers are all still alive but will need an impressive final three weeks to sneak into the postseason.
Each team has reasons to believe they can be the one to rise above the rest, but it will be a tough road to get there.
With three weeks left in the NFL season, the race for the playoffs is in full swing.
In the NFC, it feels like five of the six spots up for grabs have all but been decided. The Rams and Saints have already clinched their respective divisions, and the Cowboys and Bears both hold significant leads in theirs and show no signs of slowing down. Leading the charge for the first wild-card spot are the Seattle Seahawks, who have two more wins than any other team in the race.
Competing below them are five teams with a realistic shot at claiming the final playoff spot in the NFC.
Here, we break down the case each team has for potentially making a postseason run, the biggest thing standing in their way and the chances that 538 gives them of pulling it off.
