Six spots are all set in the AFC, while the NFC has locked down four postseason berths. Here are the playoff-clinching scenarios.

Welcome to The Athletic 's live blog covering all things Week 17. Saturday's focus is on a tripleheader featuring the Los Angeles Chargers taking on the New England Patriots (1 p.m. ET), Denver Broncos against the Cincinnati Bengals (4:30 p.m. ET) and an NFC West meeting between the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams (8:10 p.m. ET).

The Cincinnati Bengals get one last homestand and chance to prove they can beat quality opponents when they host the Denver Broncos in Week 17 . There, the Bengals can keep razor thin playoff hopes alive while still hoping for Colts and Dolphins losses, too.
