Elsewhere, there are plenty of games that could affect the playoff picture and\/or the draft order by re-juggling the seeding between teams, as well as others that have hooks for reasons on-the-field or off it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josh Allen and the Bills take on Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Cam Ward and the Titans head to Cleveland to play Shedeur Sanders and the Browns. Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy return to the field in Commanders vs. Vikings. The Rams look to rebound against the Cardinals. The Raiders get a rematch against the Broncos. The Seahawks look to keep rolling against the Falcons. Plus, the Buccaneers host the Saints and the Jets host the Dolphins.<\/p>\n
With all of this action, it’s going to be hard to keep up. That’s why we’re here. Keep it locked to this blog throughout the day as we update you with inactives, stats, scores, highlights and playoff-picture takeaways.<\/p>\n

Heading into Week 14, there have been ZERO playoff spots clinched. That number won’t be changing over the weekend, because there’s not a single clinching scenario this week, which is something that almost never happens. The last time the NFL made it through the first 14 weeks without a single team clinching a playoff spot\u00a0came all the way back in 2014<\/a>.”<\/p>\n As for\u00a0teams eliminated from playoff\u00a0contention, there are currently five: Giants, Titans, Raiders, Saints and Cardinals.
