Each conference will have seven playoff teams: four division winners (No. 1 through No. 4) and three at-large teams, called wild cards (No. 5 through No. 7). The division winners are ranked by best record to worst and will each host at least one playoff game.

The Kansas City Chiefs are fighting for their playoff lives on Sunday, DEc. 14 when they host the Los Angeles Chargers in a pivotal AFC West matchup.
