Week 16 of the 2021 NFL season is providing some clarity to the playoff races in both conferences. On Thursday night, the Titans inched closer to an AFC South title with a win over the Niners, and Christmas Day brought a big Packers victory against the Browns and an impressive Colts showing against a Cardinals team seemingly headed in the wrong direction. (Arizona ultimately clinched a playoff berth on Sunday after the Vikings' loss.)
It continued on Sunday, with the Buccaneers clinching the NFC South by beating the Panthers on the road. The Bengals and Bills didn't clinch anything, but they each earned massive divisional wins to bring them closer to not only playoff berths but also their respective division titles.
