What NFL Teams Are Going to the Playoffs?

The NFL playoffs are just around the corner, and we know everyone is wondering: which teams are going to make it? Here’s a quick rundown of the teams that have a shot at the playoffs, and what their chances are.

AFC teams

In the AFC, the New England Patriots have already clinched the first seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. They are followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have also clinched a playoff berth. The Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs have also clinched playoff berths, but they have not yet clinched their respective divisional titles.

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. The Ravens compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division. The team plays its home games at M&T Bank Stadium and is headquartered in Owings Mills.

The Ravens were established in 1996, when Art Modell, who was then the owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to relocate the franchise to Baltimore. The Browns’ intellectual property–including team name, logos, training facility, and history–were kept in trust and the franchise was regarded by the NFL as suspended, with a new team to be established later. The NFL required Modell to sell all of his advertising and mascot rights or face expulsion from the league.

On November 6, 1995, Modell announced he had reached an agreement with the city of Baltimore to relocate the team. The resulting controversy ended when representatives of Cleveland and the NFL reached a settlement on February 8, 1996. Terms of the settlement included termination of Leasehold Interest in Stadium Corporation (“Browns Stadium”), nullification of Ticket Purchase Agreements between spectators and Browns Stadium Corporation, restoration of Training Facility and Office Leasehold Interests to Art Modell (“Modell”), transfer of “all right title and interest” in trademarks relating to the Browns (“trademarks”) back to Modell and his heirs subject to conditions specified in Settlement Agreement (“agreement”), $3 million payment by operator/lessee of Browns Stadium towards improvement/operation thereof and assumption by operator/lessee responsibility for all losses sustained by City as a result of fans’ refusal to purchase tickets for 1995 season games played elsewhere than at Browns Stadium following announcement by Modell on November 6th that he had reached an agreement with City for relocation of franchise during 1996 season…and other terms set forth below.”,”AFC teams – (What NFL Teams Are Going to the Playoffs?)
