So I decided to look into how each team with a chance at the #1 seed in the AFC can clinch it, heading into today’s big game between the Chargers and Texans.
Broncos: Win in Week 18 (vs. Chargers), it’s that simple. If they beat the Chargers next week, they’re the #1 seed.
Patriots: Win both of their remaining games (at Jets, vs. Dolphins), Broncos lose to Chargers in week 18.
Jaguars: Win both of their remaining games (at Colts, vs. Titans), have the Patriots (at Jets, vs. Dolphins) drop at least 1 of their final 2, and have the Broncos lose to the Chargers in week 18.
Chargers: Win both of their remaining games (vs. Texans, at Broncos), and have the Patriots (at Jets, vs. Dolphins) and Jaguars (at Colts, vs. Titans) each drop at least 1 game.
Bills: Win both of their remaining games (vs. Eagles, vs. Jets), have the Jaguars, Patriots, and Chargers go 1-1 at best in their remaining games, and have the Broncos lose to the Chargers in week 18.
Texans/Colts: Impossible Steelers/Ravens: Impossible
