NFL standings, Week 15: Where things stand in each division as we move toward Week 16

The NFL is working its way through Week 15 and the playoff field is slowly filling up. The 49ers clinched the NFC West title on Thursday, and then Saturday saw the Vikings clinch the NFC North title and the Bills clinch a playoff berth.

The NFL is moving through its Sunday and Monday slate and we'll likely see at least one more team earn a playoff berth. The Cowboys and Chiefs can each clinch a playoff berth with a win. On the other end of things, the Texans will remain in the No. 1 pick of the 2023 NFL Draft regardless of their result. Meanwhile, the Broncos and Bears are competing for the No. 2 and No. 3 pick right behind them.

Below are the eight divisional standings, along with some quick thoughts about each division after 15 weeks of football. We'll update as the rest of the schedule wraps and we move toward Week 16.
