With just two weeks left in the 2023 NFL regular season, there are several exciting matchups on the horizon that could impact playoff seeding and determine which teams make it to the postseason. Before the Thursday night game between the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, a few teams had already secured their spots in the playoffs in both the AFC and NFC. However, there were still 24 teams in contention for the Super Bowl, which is the highest number at this point in the season in the past 20 years, according to NFL Research. Looking ahead to Week 17, a number of teams have the opportunity to clinch their divisions, including the Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Kansas City Chiefs. Additionally, the San Francisco 49ers have a chance to secure the No. 1 seed, a feat they haven't accomplished since 2000. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers have had a challenging season due to injuries and coaching changes. However, a victory over the Seattle Seahawks would extend their streak of 20 consecutive seasons with a .500 record or better, leaving them just one year away from matching the Dallas Cowboys' record from 1965 to 1985. The Dallas Cowboys have already secured a playoff spot and have their sights set on breaking records. They could achieve their 16th straight regular-season home win, joining the New England Patriots as the only teams since 2000 to accomplish this feat. Moreover, the Cowboys have the opportunity to become the first team in NFL history to score at least 30 points in eight home games and reach a total of 300 points at home in a single regular season. As the countdown to the playoffs continues, fans can look forward to an exciting and decisive Week 17 in the NFL.
