Broncos Dominate, Chiefs Struggle as AFC West Race Heats Up
9 Nov
Summary
- Broncos have the best record in the NFL and AFC
- Chiefs sit outside the playoff picture during their Week 10 bye
- Steelers hold off Ravens in AFC North race
As of November 9th, 2025, the NFL playoff picture is starting to take shape, with several teams positioning themselves for a postseason run. The Denver Broncos, led by their stifling defense, currently have the best record in the league and the AFC. Despite their offensive struggles in recent weeks, the Broncos' pass-rushing unit has been a dominant force, putting them in prime position for a division title and a top seed in the AFC.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs find themselves in an unusual situation, sitting outside the playoff picture during their Week 10 bye. The Jaguars currently hold the final wild-card spot in the AFC, with the Chiefs just a half-game behind them. The Pittsburgh Steelers, on the other hand, have been able to hold off the rebounding Baltimore Ravens, leading them by two full games in the AFC North.
In the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles have regained control of the top seed, with key wins over the Buccaneers and Rams. The Packers, however, have fallen from the top spot after a surprising home loss to the Panthers in Week 9. The race for the NFC West title remains tight, with the Seahawks, Rams, and 49ers all vying for the division crown.
