The AFC playoff bracket is set. If the Vikings win, they will be the No. 3 seed, the Packers will be the No. 5 seed, and the Seahawks would be the No. 6 seed.
For the divisional round, NBC has the January 16 NFC game with second-seeded Arizona at 8:15 p.m., and FOX has the January 17 game involving top-seeded Carolina at 1 p.m. Since the New York Jets lost a do-or-die game to the Buffalo Bills, the Pittsburgh Steelers have clinched the final berth with their crushing 28-12 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
The last piece of the playoff puzzle was completed Sunday night when the Minnesota Vikings held off the Green Bay Packers 20-13 to capture the AFC North title. The Patriots would lock up the top spot with a win over the Miami Dolphins, but a loss would force them to root for the San Diego Chargers against the Broncos. Teams will be fighting on Sunday to make the playoffs and figure out final seeding for Wild Card weekend.
The Jets need to win this game and they will return to the playoffs. Pittsburgh will be the No. 6 seed and travel to the No. 3 seed. As for the final AFC wild-card spot, that will belong to either the Jets or Steelers.
The Colts need the the Falcons (8-7) to beat the Saints (6-9), the Ravens (5-10) to knock off the AFC North champion Bengals (11-4), the Bills (7-8) to beat the Jets (10-5), the Broncos (11-4) to win at home against the Chargers (4-11), the Dolphins to upset the Patriots; the Raiders (7-8) to stop the nine-game losing streak of the Chiefs (10-5) and the Steelers (9-6) to beat the Browns (3-12).

They will now host the Chiefs in the wild-card round.
