The Indianapolis Colts are on the bye in Week 11, and while they entered it in first place in the AFC, they have dropped not one but two slots in the playoff picture. The New England Patriots became the first nine-win team in the NFL on Thursday night, defeating the New York Jets, and taking sole possession of first place in the AFC as a result. Then the Denver Broncos took first place from New England with their Week 11 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers won to stick in fourth place.
In the wild card race, the Buffalo Bills won and the Los Angeles Chargers lost to move the Bills into fifth place and the Chargers to sixth place. The Jacksonville Jaguars stayed in seventh after defeating the Chargers.
At 5-5 there is a logjam outside the playoff spots with the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens all out right now.
