We are nearly through 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL season, and it is a great time to take a look at the AFC playoff picture. It is rather early, but we have three teams at the top of the AFC with an 8-2 record. The Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, and our Denver Broncos (Is it 2013 again?). After that, you have several teams fighting for a wildcard spot and an AFC North division title that could go to a team that started 1-5.

Oh, and if the playoffs started today (they do not), the Kansas City Chiefs would be out of the playoffs.
