The New Orleans Saints are the only team to have won their division, the NFC South. The Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks have all simply earned playoff berths.

If the Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football, or tie with them, they win the NFC North.

If the Vikings beat or tie with the Packers, they get a playoff berth. They also get in if the Los Angeles Rams lose or tie with the 49ers on Saturday night.

The Dallas Cowboys can win the NFC East with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday at 3:25 p.m. CT.
