NFC playoff picture for Commanders through Week 15

A look at the NFC playoff picture through 15 weeks, including where the Commanders stand.

After 15 weeks of the 2024 season, what does the NFC playoff picture look like for the Commanders?

  • Three playoff births have been clinched thus far (Lions, Eagles, Vikings).
  • The Bucs (NFC South) and Rams (NFC West) lead their divisions. The Bucs lead the Falcons by a game, and the Rams have a tiebreaker over the Seahawks.
  • The Packers actually have a 99% probability they will make the playoffs, as they are 10-4 in a good position. At the same time, the Commanders are a game back at 9-5 sitting alone in the seventh seed position.

So, the NFC division leaders and current top-four seeds, along with Wild Card seeds, are as follows:

  1. Lions (12-2) Clinched playoff spot
  2. Eagles (12-2) Clinched playoff spot
  3. Bucs (8-6) Lead NFC South by one game
  4. Rams (8-6) Lead NFC West via Tiebreaker
  5. Vikings (12-2) Clinched playoff spot
  6. Packers (10-4)
  7. Commanders (9-5)

The following teams are still mathematically alive for the playoffs:

  • Seahawks 8-6
  • Falcons 7-7
  • Cardinals 7-7
  • 49ers 6-8
  • Cowboys 6-8
  • Saints 5-9
