The AFC Playoff picture saw the Wildcard positioning tighten up this week, with multiple teams hanging around just one game out of the spot. With the league's Week 10 schedule now complete, the current playoff standing can be updated following the Houston Texans win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, knocking the Bengals from the ranks of the undefeated.
The New England Patriots (9-0, AFC East leaders) currently hold the top spot in the conference as one of the league's last two unbeaten teams, joined by the Carolina Panthers in the NFC.
