The NFC playoff race is heating up fast after a wild Week 10, with power shifting and new contenders rising as the postseason picture starts to take shape.
At the top, the Philadelphia Eagles continue to hold their ground, looking every bit like the team to beat thanks to Jalen Hurts’ steady leadership and a defense that thrives in crunch time. Right behind them, the Detroit Lions bounced back with a statement win over the Commanders — proving that Dan Campbell’s crew isn’t just fighting for respect anymore; they’re fighting for home-field advantage.
The San Francisco 49ers remain steady, even with some bumps along the way, while the Minnesota Vikings are quietly sneaking into serious contention after impressive back-to-back victories. The Dallas Cowboys, meanwhile, are walking a tightrope — dominant at home but still searching for that consistency on the road that separates contenders from hopefuls.
In the wild-card picture, chaos reigns. Teams like the Buccaneers, Packers, and Seahawks are trading blows weekly, while the Falcons continue to hover just outside the mix, looking for a late-season push.
With seven weeks left in the regular season, the NFC landscape has become a weekly drama — every game feels like a playoff audition. One thing’s for sure: the path to the Super Bowl is going to run through some fierce competition, and right now, nobody’s safe.
