NFC
1. y*- EAGLES (13-2): NFC East champion. It wasn’t pretty, but last night’s win means they won’t play another game away from Lincoln Financial Field this season — unless they reach the Super Bowl.
2. y-Minnesota Vikings (12-3): NFC North champion. The dream is to become the first team to play a Super Bowl on its home field. But even after taking care of the Packers on Saturday night, the Vikings still have work to do before scoring a bye.
3. y-Los Angeles Rams (11-4): NFC West champion. They’re division kings for the first time since 2003.
4. x-New Orleans Saints (11-4): NFC South leader. They’re going to the playoffs and just a win away from claiming the division.
5. x-Carolina Panthers (11-4): Wild card No. 1. They’re into the field as well and still have an outside shot at the NFC South crown and a first-round bye.
6. Atlanta Falcons (9-6): Wild card No. 2. Sunday’s loss at New Orleans means they can no longer retain NFC South crown. But Atlanta is still just a win shy (or Seattle loss in Week 17) from punching its return ticket to postseason.
In the hunt: Seattle Seahawks (9-6)
x-clinched playoff berth
y-clinched division
z-clinched first-round bye
*-clinched home-field advantage
