Atlanta (Special to ZennieReport.com) – The NFL sent a press release regarding NFL 2023 NFL Playoff Scenarios to Zennie62Media. While in the near future content of this type will go to Zennie62Media’s new NFL news website, for now, it’s at ZennieReport.com.
The NFL Playoff Scenarios Highlights
The NFL Playoff Scenarios highlights are that the 11 win, 3 loss Baltimore Ravens have clinched a playoff berth and are set to play the San Francisco 49ers on what may be a preview of Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
The Baltimore Ravens remain the only AFC team to be set for the NFL Playoffs. That almost changed on Saturday, when the Buffalo Bills were almost beaten by the Los Angeles Chargers. That Chargers team had something to prove after getting a massive defeat handed to them by the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders hung 63 points on the division foe, and set a number of team and NFL records along the way.
If Miami beats the Dallas Cowboys today, the Dolphins are in the NFL Playoffs.
So here’s how things stand as we approach this slate of games, today.
