Week 17 has come and gone, and the AFC Playoff picture is becoming clearer as we head into the final week of the 2025 regular season.

The big game next week will be between the Steelers and the Ravens.

Outside of the Steelers and Ravens game, the AFC postseason picture is all but set except for seeding, which will be determined after the outcomes of the games next week.
