We're roughly halfway through the 2024 NFL season, so let's take a look at the current state of the AFC playoff race.
Regardless of what fans, pundits, and general outside noise would suggest, each NFL organization enters a fresh season thinking they have what it takes to accomplish something special. Every team, at the start of a new year, believes they're capable of not only qualifying for the postseason, but making some noise when they get there; that is especially true this year, as through eight weeks, there are a few surprising clubs positioned promisingly in the AFC playoff picture.
Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated, but they haven't been dominant in any way in those seven victories. Winning is ultimately what counts, and they have been outperforming everyone else in that regard. Then there's the Buffalo Bills, who have won four games by 21 or more points, most of any team.
Flacco taking the reins in Indianapolis roughly coincides with running back Jonathan Taylor's return to the lineup, bolstering the Colts' playoff odds. A chance at a division title is all but lost, having already been swept by the Texans. The Bengals might be in trouble, having to contend with both the Steelers and Ravens and already with five losses this season.
