Texans playoff picture: What Week 14 vs. Chiefs means for AFC standings

The Texans don’t kick off against the Chiefs until Sunday night, but with the early window of NFL games in the rearview, let’s take a quick look at what the Texans’ playoff picture looks like heading into Sunday Night Football. The Jags went into their Week 14 matchup against the Colts holding the No. 3 seed in the AFC, and they retain it with Sunday’s 36-19 win. The Titans also won, beating the Browns 31-29, but the Titans are eliminated from playoff contention and no amount of wins can change that.AFC South standingsJacksonville Jaguars 9-4Houston Texans 8-5Indianapolis Colts 8-5Tennessee Titans 2-11Overall AFC playoff pictureThe Patriots and Broncos hold steady at the No. 1 and 2 seeds. Jacksonville remains a full game back from the Broncos before Denver kicks off against the Raiders in the late afternoon window and the Patriots already having played on Thursday night. The Steelers pulled off a win against the Ravens, bumping Baltimore out of the standings , and the Bills came back to beat the Bengals and moved up to No. 5. But the ups and downs of the AFC playoff picture weren’t done, and Sunday Night Football led to another small shakeup. The Texans beat the Chiefs, and moved up to No. 7, bumping the Colts back to No. 8. We could see another shift after the Chargers face off against the Eagles on Monday night.Updated AFC StandingsDenver Broncos: 11-2New England Patriots: 11-2Jacksonville Jaguars: 9-4Pittsburgh Steelers: 7-6Buffalo Bills: 9-4Los Angeles Chargers: 8-4Houston Texans 8-5Indianapolis Colts: 8-5Kansas City Chiefs: 6-6Baltimore Ravens: 6-7
