AFC playoff picture entering Week 16

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, only two AFC teams have wrapped up playoff spots – and neither of them are your Denver Broncos.

Courtesy of their third straight scoreless second half, the Orange & Blue have their second two-game losing streak of the season and now have officially entered must-win territory with the scorching Kansas City Chiefs hot on their heels.

The Broncos, believe it or not, could still wind up with the first, second, third, fifth or sixth seed — or still miss the playoffs entirely.

That’s a lot of scenarios to think about. In the meantime, here’s your full AFC playoff picture entering Week 16:

No. 1 seed: x-New England Patriots (12-2)

• Remaining schedule: at Jets, at Dolphins
• On the line this week: The Patriots already have clinched their sixth straight first-round bye and can secure the top seed with another win.

No. 2 seed: y-Cincinnati Bengals (11-3)

• Remaining schedule: at Broncos, vs. Ravens
• On the line this week: Cincy can lock up the AFC North title and a first-round bye with a win Monday night in the Mile High City.

No. 3 seed: Denver Broncos (10-4)

• Remaining schedule: Bengals, vs. Chargers
• On the line this week: The Orange & Blue win the AFC West for a fifth straight year with a victory and a Chiefs’ loss. The Broncos also can wrap up a postseason berth with a win and a loss for either the Jets or Steelers.

No. 4 seed: Houston Texans (7-7)

• Remaining schedule: at Titans, vs. Jaguars
• On the line this week: The Texans’ first-ever win in Indy on Sunday put them in the AFC South driver’s seat for the first time this season, and another win plus a Colts’ loss would give Houston the outright crown.

No. 5 seed: Kansas City Chiefs (9-5)

• Remaining schedule: Browns, vs. Raiders
• On the line this week: Once 1-5, the Chiefs have reeled off eight straight wins and another victory Sunday plus a loss by either the Jets or Steelers would officially punch their playoff ticket.

No. 6 seed: Pittsburgh Steelers (9-5)

• Remaining schedule: at Ravens, at Browns
• On the line this week: The Steelers’ third straight win vaulted them ahead of the Jets and into the sixth spot, and they can wrap up a playoff berth with a win plus a N.Y. loss.

In the hunt: Jets (9-5), Colts (6-8), Jaguars (5-9)

Eliminated: Raiders (6-8), Bills (6-8), Dolphins (5-9), Ravens (4-10), Chargers (4-10), Browns (3-11), Titans (3-11)

If the season ended today: Wild-card round – (3) Broncos vs. (6) Steelers, (4) Texans vs. (5) Chiefs. Divisional round – (1) Patriots vs. Texans, Chiefs or Steelers; (2) Bengals vs. Broncos, Texans or Chiefs

x – Clinched division title; y – clinched playoff berth
