NFL playoff clinching scenarios for Packers, Seahawks, 49ers, others in Week 15

For the most part, the teams that have NFL playoff clinching scenarios in play for Week 15 based on the current playoff picture are the same teams that had chances to earn postseason berths or division titles last week.

The Ravens, for example, clinched a playoff berth last week and won the AFC North title with their victory over the Jets on Thursday, but they will have more clinching scenarios in front of them Sunday, when they have opportunities to clinch a first-round bye in the playoffs based on other results. The Patriots, Bills, 49ers and Seahawks failed to clinch playoff berths last week despite the scenarios that were in play, but all four have chances again in Week 15.
