It’s put up or shut up time for many teams hoping to clinch a playoff spot when the season ends in January. Week 15 is the perfect time to really make an impact.
No team has yet clinched a playoff spot and that could change very soon.
The Denver Broncos (11-2), New England Patriots (11-2) and Los Angeles Rams (10-3) are the teams that could end up in the postseason when their games end on Sunday.
The Broncos can clinch a playoff spot with a win or a tie along with a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers or Jacksonville Jaguars. They could also make the playoffs if the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts lose or tie. If the Texans and Colts lose or tie, Denver will also be in. The Texans and Colts simply cannot tie the two.

Additionally, the Patriots can make the postseason with a tie and a loss or tie for the Texans or Colts. A Patriots tie and a Jaguars loss will also send New England into the postseason.
