At least, they are right now, after Saturday’s win over the Jets. They need a loss from the Patriots to stay at No. 2 in the AFC.
The Browns, meanwhile, have kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a win over the Broncos.
Here’s how the playoff picture looks heading into Sunday’s games:
2. Texans (10-4): Will clinch the AFC South today if the Colts and Titans lose.
3. Patriots (9-4): They’re still heavy favorites in the AFC East heading into Sunday’s big game in Pittsburgh.
