NFL playoff picture, draft order after Week 14: Eagles clinch postseason berth as Raiders hold No. 1 draft pick

The Philadelphia Eagles are headed back to the playoffs for a fourth straight season.

The Eagles held on to beat the Carolina Panthers 22-16 on Sunday afternoon, which marked their ninth straight win. That pushed their record to 11-2. While they have yet to clinch the NFC East, the Eagles secured a spot in the playoffs after both the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals each lost elsewhere on Sunday.

The Eagles are now the second team in the NFC to clinch a postseason berth, after the Detroit Lions. Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills have clinched AFC playoff spots. The Chiefs claimed their ninth consecutive division title on Sunday night after Matthew Wright banked-in a game-winning field goal in their game against the Los Angeles Chargers, too. It marked their 15th consecutive one-score game.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Las Vegas Raiders now hold the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft next spring after their latest loss. That has to make their 2-11 start feel a little bit better.

Here’s a look at where things stand playoff-wise after Week 14 of the NFL season.
