The NFL playoffs standings are getting tight into Week 15 in both the AFC and NFC and on Sunday there will be a number of division leaders in action, as the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos are all playing big games.
The Eagles and Cowboys are basically playing for the NFC East, as both teams are 9-4 and Philly already has a head to head win in the series. This game will be at home for Eagles and in other division action, the NY Giants are playing against the Redskins and this matchup could be the final straw for Tom Coughlin if the Giants lose. The Redskins are 3-10 on the season and the Giants are 4-9, but New York is coming in after a win, while Washington comes in after a 24-0 loss to the Rams.
--UPDATES: The PATRIOTS, BRONCOS and COLTS have clinched division titles. Lions win, Panthers win to lead division races for the moment.
The Packers are looking like one of the best teams in the league and they are 10-3 on the season in the NFC North and they have a one game lead over the Lions. The Falcons are leading the NFC South per the Saints with five wins each, but the Panthers also are alive with four wins and a tie this season. The NFC West has the Arizona Cardinals up on the Seattle Seahawks and those two teams will matchup in the final game of the season on the schedule.
The Patriots are first in the AFC East once again and they have the look of the best team in the conference as well. The Bengals are leading the AFC north and that is close up and down with the Steelers, Ravens and Browns still alive.
