NFL playoffs: Current seeds, matchups entering Week 15

Which teams are still alive in the Wild Card race?

The Ravens all but clinched a first-round bye in the NFL Playoffs with a blowout win over the Jets on Thursday night to improve to 12-2 on the season, and it’s likely that Lamar Jackson and the Ravens will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
