Week 17 of the 2020 NFL season is upon us. The playoff picture is quite a bit more clear than it was even one week ago -- with a number of spots clinched -- but there are many remaining questions to be answered as the postseason bracket is filled up.

In the AFC, the Chiefs are in (and have clinched the No. 1 seed), as are the division champion Bills and Steelers. The AFC South title remains up for grabs, as do the wild cards, with four clubs looking to land one of three.

Over in the NFC, the Packers, Saints and Seahawks have clinched their respective divisions, while the Buccaneers have secured a wild card. Three of four NFC East teams remain in play for the division title, with three other teams vying for the remaining two wild cards.

Here's the full Week 17 schedule, along with the clinching scenarios for the relevant teams involved.
