Standen NFL na speelweek 16
 | De laatste week van het reguliere seizoen zal nog enkele beslissingen gaan brengen. De Kansas City Chiefs en San Diego Chargers zijn de enige ploegen in de race voor de laatste playoff-plaats in de AFC terwijl er nog vier teams in de NFC mogen hopen op een van de drie overgebleven plaatsen. Eén daarvan gaat echter zeker naar Tampa Bay of Carolina. Onderin gaan het erom spannen wie met de hoofdprijs in de draft aan de haal zullen gaan, hoewel de Houston Texans hiervoor de beste papieren hebben. |
