NFL Playoffs Teams Details
14. Pittsburgh Steelers
Record: 10-7 | Point Differential: +33 (12th)
Mike Tomlin’s Steelers always find a way to compete, thanks in part to T.J. Watt’s dominance. However, their inability to move the ball effectively continues to be their Achilles’ heel.
13. Houston Texans
Record: 10-7 | Point Differential: 0 (15th)
C.J. Stroud once looked like a gunslinging star, but injuries to the offensive line and receivers have forced the Texans into a more conservative approach.
12. Denver Broncos
Record: 10-7 | Point Differential: +114 (6th)
Bo Nix has brought a poised dual-threat presence to Denver, complemented by a top-three scoring defense. However, their lack of experience against elite teams makes them feel a year away from true contention.
11. Los Angeles Chargers
Record: 11-6 | Point Differential: +101 (7th)
Justin Herbert thrives under Jim Harbaugh’s disciplined system, leading an NFL-best defense that allows just 17.7 points per game.
