Week 14 in the NFL was defined by a number of hotly contested matchups, as well as several that quickly got out of hand.

With four weeks left in the NFL regular season, the playoff field remains wide open – though that should change in short order.

From Kyler Murray’s return to T.J. Watt’s dominant day, Week 13 featured several marquee performances from some of the NFL’s brightest stars.

Everything is still up for grabs in both the AFC and NFC, as no team has solidified a spot in the NFL postseason through Week 13.

No. 1 spot changes hands once again, though NFC retains control of elite positions. Meanwhile, New England has clawed to the top of the AFC mountain, checking in at No. 4.

The outlook for the AFC and NFC’s top playoff seeds continues to change week to week, with some contenders rising while others fade.

Sunday’s matchup of Green Bay and LA in Lambeau Field could go a long way toward determining playoff seeding in the conference.

Nine-win Cardinals are back on top, but Chiefs and Patriots among those taking aim at NFC’s loosening grip on top five.

Beware, NFL powerhouses: Sure-thing victories are hard to come by in today’s landscape. Just take a look at the results from Week 11.

Every team in a tightly packed league now has at least two losses, making debate to discern top squad tougher than ever.
