NFL Playoffs: Standings Updated following wild Week 13

The Bengals, Broncos, Falcons and Packers all strengthened their grips on their respective divisions, while the Steelers, Browns, Ravens and Chiefs all damaged their chances of making the playoffs.

The NFL playoffs are just over a month away with only four regular-season weeks remaining. Many teams saw their playoff chances take a serious blow on Sunday in games they let slip away.

The 7-5 Ravens, Browns, Steelers and Chiefs all had great opportunities to increase their standing in the playoff picture, but all four lost. That allowed the 8-4 Chargers and 7-5 Bills to climb back into the playoff picture after it appeared both were falling out of it as the season wore on.

The Bengals, Broncos, Falcons and Packers all strengthened their grips on their respective divisions. Here is a look at the latest playoff stands, courtesy of ESPN:
