As the NFL regular season nears its conclusion, three more teams—the Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Minnesota Vikings—secured playoff berths. The Steelers clinched despite a loss, while the Vikings await their game on Monday night.
Injuries are plaguing teams like the Detroit Lions, who lost key players during a recent defeat to the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Geno Smith of the Seattle Seahawks is also under scrutiny after sustaining a knee injury, with hopes for his return in Week 16.
The Kansas City Chiefs waived running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, while the Baltimore Ravens excused receiver Diontae Johnson from team activities following a suspension. The Dallas Cowboys are concerned about cornerback Trevon Diggs, who may miss significant time due to knee surgery.
