NFL standings: Updated AFC, NFC playoff picture for Week 10 of 2021 season

As the NFL's playoff picture begins to come into focus, here are the updated AFC and NFC standings going into the Week 10 games.The league kept its expanded playoff field, with 14 of its 32 teams (43.8 percent) set to qualify for the latest postseason. That includes 7 each from the AFC and NFC, with only the No. 1 seeds getting byes on top of home-field advantage.

The Sunday slate won't be as loaded in NFL Week 12 as it usually is. There will be three games on Thanksgiving Day and the normal Sunday and Monday night games, so that will leave just 10 games in the early and late afternoon on Sunday.

That said, there are some strong matchups this week on that slate, so it's as good a week as ever to have limited games to choose from, as most of the country will get to see marquee matchups of some sort.

Most of the games this week will be broadcast on Fox. They have six games compared to CBS' four and will be airing the doubleheader as a result. CBS will be on single-game duty for the second time in as many weeks, but they do get the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

Fox's coverage will largely focus on two games. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will do battle with the Colts in the 1 p.m. ET slot. Jonathan Taylor is looking to stay hot in that one while Tom Brady will look to stake his claim in the ever-changing MVP race. In the late slate, almost all of America will watch as the Rams and Packers do battle in a game that will have a massive impact on the NFC playoff picture.

CBS' coverage may have just four games, but two figure to be good ones. The Titans and Patriots will square off in a battle of two of the AFC's best teams. That will be the game most across the country see in the early slate, but a solid chunk will see the Steelers-Bengals game too.

Which NFL teams, players and coaches are under most pressure in homestretch of season?

The final stretch of season will prove crucial to several franchises looking to mount a playoff push and a few coaches trying to avoid the hot seat.In these final seven weeks, teams will jockey for playoff position, coaches will fight to save their jobs, and players will try to secure long-term financial security.

"Monday Night Football" will see the Seahawks and Washington Football Team play in a game that will determine which of them stays in the playoff race. Both need a win to stay in the hunt, but Washington (4-6) is currently closer to the Wild Card than Seattle (3-7). The Seahawks can change that if they bounce back.
