The Indianapolis Colts lost in Week 12 and the New England Patriots won, meaning Indy is even further away from regaining the top spot in the conference they lost on their bye.
The Denver Broncos are on the bye and remain second.
The Baltimore Ravens won and the Pittsburgh Steelers lost, so Baltimore is fourth in the conference now while the Steelers fell all the way out of playoff position.
The Buffalo Bills lost on Thursday night but remain in a wild card spot.
The Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs join the Steelers at 6-5, just out of the playoffs.
The Jacksonville Jaguars play late Sunday afternoon.
AFC standings during Week 12
The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers were on the bye this week along with the Miami Dolphins.
In the three-way tie at 6-5, the Chiefs are eliminated first because of a worse AFC record than Pittsburgh and Houston. The Steelers wins have come against teams with 29 total wins while the Texans’ wins have come against teams with a combined 28 wins. That can change very quickly.

2. Denver Broncos (9-2)

4. Baltimore Ravens (6-5, 2-0 AFCN)
5. Los Angeles Chargers (7-4, 6-2 AFC)
