The NFL regular season for 2023 is half over, with the Monday Night Football conclusion to Week 9 last night. With nine of the 18-week schedule now complete, the playoff picture for both the AFC and NFC is coming into focus, with teams starting to fall out of contention and others positioning themselves for division titles and high seeds for the run to the Super Bowl.
There is still a lot of football to be played and teams can get hot at any point to make a run, but the top-tier teams seem to be fairly well solidified at this point, with familiar franchises leading the way.
