Avast ye! The Ravens be the first to claim a playoff spot, but the Cowboys be fuming at their methods, matey!

Week 15 in the NFL season saw more teams clinching their playoff berths. The San Francisco 49ers were the only team to secure their spot last week. Three more teams in the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, also secured their chances to compete for the Lombardi Trophy. The Atlanta Falcons suffered a massive upset loss to the one-win Carolina Panthers, while the 49ers took care of business against the Arizona Cardinals. The Eagles and Cowboys knew they were locked into a playoff spot before their games. The Cowboys, despite being blown out by the Buffalo Bills, still clinched a playoff spot thanks to the Falcons' loss.

Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens became the first AFC team to secure their postseason berth. They defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars to solidify their spot. Lamar Jackson is in the MVP conversation, and the Ravens will face the San Francisco 49ers on Christmas night in a potentially award-determining game.

The Detroit Lions got back on track with a win against the Denver Broncos, putting them in a position to wait for a Seahawks loss to secure their playoff spot. The Lions are seeking their first playoff appearance since 2016.

In the NFC, the race in the NFC South remains close with wins by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints. Both teams have 7-7 records, making it an interesting division to watch in the final three games. The Atlanta Falcons are still in the race at 6-8.

The playoff picture in both conferences is starting to take shape, but there are still a few spots up for grabs. The Pittsburgh Steelers fell out of playoff position with a loss to the Indianapolis Colts, while the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals secured their spots in the AFC. The Buffalo Bills are just outside of a playoff position.

Overall, the playoff race is heating up, and there are still exciting games to watch in the final weeks of the season.
