The Dolphins and Jaguars grabbed the last two spots in the A.F.C., while Tom Brady broke his own record for pass completions.

But after the Jaguars’ defense allowed a field goal to open the second half, it held the Titans to a punt, a turnover or a turnover on downs on five straight possessions. Mills converted on a late fourth-and-18 and launched a ball on a fourth-and-20 into the end zone for what could have been the game-tying score. His second return and the extra point put the Bills up by 21-17 and were the final lead change of the game, handing the Patriots a loss that dropped them out of the playoffs. Once the Ravens fell to the Bengals in the afternoon, the Chargers were locked into the fifth seed in the A.F.C. With the first pick, the Texans could have grabbed the quarterback of their choice from a group that includes Alabama’s Bryce Young and Ohio State’s C.J. And though Herbert was able to finish the game fairly comfortably, Staley paid the price for playing Williams and Bosa. Brady had to fully take over as a surgeon in the short-to-intermediate area, getting down the field little by little just to stay in games. Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense never got off the ground, and Prescott produced his worst game of the season at the worst time. The Eagles held onto their top seed, but only by a smidgen, in a 22-16 win over the Giants. Pederson turned the second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence into a legitimate star, and the defense, though inconsistent, has the talent up front to be a nuisance from time to time. 7 seed, the Dolphins could be a scary opponent for the division-rival Bills in the first round. In the wild-card race among Miami, New England and Pittsburgh, the Dolphins got some help to take the final spot.

In the five seasons since Patrick Mahomes became the starting quarterback in 2018, the Chiefs have earned the AFC's No. The Pittsburgh Steelers (9-8) missed out on the postseason field by a tiebreaker but did avert coach Mike Tomlin's first losing season by winning six of their final seven games. However, no coin flip will be needed to determine a host city in the wild-card round, and only one scenario remains for a potential neutral-site AFC championship game – if the Bills are matched up with the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs. and it remains to be seen if Baltimore will have QB Lamar Jackson once the playoffs begin. 3 adorning T-shirts (which also read "Love For Damar") of players, coaches and staffers while getting spotlighted in blue and red on the 30-yard lines of stadiums throughout the country.
