Despite a 27-24 home loss to Kansas City, the 2020 NFC playoff picture didn’t change for Tampa Bay, which still has the No. 6 seed as the second wild card after Week 12. The reason? The 7-5 Buccaneers lost on Sunday, but so did the 7-4 Los Angeles Rams, which have the No. 5 seed, in addition to the 6-5 Cardinals.

The Rams fell to the No. 5 seed with their loss, while the Seahawks beat the Eagles on Monday Night Football to move up to the No. 2 playoff seed as the NFC West leader at 8-3. Seattle and Green Bay are both 8-3 with 6-2 records in the NFC, but the Seahawks currently have the strength of schedule tiebreaker.

The 4-7 Giants also knocked 4-7 Washington out of the playoffs for the time being and assumed the lead of the NFC East division.

If the playoffs started today, the No. 6 Bucs would travel to Green Bay for the first round of the playoffs against the No. 3 Packers in a rematch from earlier this year when the Bucs won 38-10 in Tampa Bay. In the new seven-team playoff format in 2020, only the No. 1 seed – in this case 9-2 New Orleans – would get a bye week.

Here is a current look at the NFC playoff picture entering Week 13.
