After 13 weeks of the 2024 season, what does the NFC playoff picture look like for the Commanders?
- Two clear division leaders are playing impressively and enjoying long winning streaks, while the Lions (NFC North) and Eagles (NFC East) are playing the best football in the conference.
- The other two divisions are literally up for grabs. The Seahawks have the Seahawks just one game ahead of the Rams and Cardinals in the NFC West. While the NFC South shows the Falcons and Buccaneers both tied.
- The Vikings and Packers could soon secure the Wild Card spots, while the Commanders are two games behind the Packers for the final Wild Card spot.
So the NFC division leaders and current top four seeds and wild card seeds are as follows:
- Detroit 11-1 (NFC North)
- Philadelphia 10-2 (NFC East)
- Seattle 7-5 (NFC West)
- Atlanta 6-6 (NFC South)
- Minnesota 10-2 (NFC North)
- Green Bay 9-3 (NFC North)
- Washington (8-5) (NFC East)
The win over the Titans on Sunday left the Commanders in the final qualifying spot, the No. 7 seed. That means Washington would travel to Philadelphia to play the Eagles in the first round of the playoffs if the regular season ended with the teams in that order.
As of today, the first round of the NFC playoffs would therefore feature the following matchups:
(7) Washington at (2) Philadelphia
(6) Green Bay and (3) Seattle
(5) Minnesota at (4) Atlanta
(1) Detroit would have a bye in the first round and would play the lowest seeded team at home in the second round to advance to the second round.
