How is this calculated?

A team is counted as still in the hunt when at least one set of results for the games left would put it in the playoffs, as division winner or wild card, taking into account that its rivals also play each other. It is counted as clinched only when no set of results can keep it out. Teams are compared on wins, a tie counting as half a win. While games remain, the league's tie-breakers are not used for this: teams level on record are treated cautiously, level being enough to stay in and never enough to clinch. The tie-breakers (head-to-head, division and conference records, common games, strength of victory and of schedule, points) give the order of the tables, the seeds if the season ended today and, once every game is played, the final field. Scores come from the nflverse project.

The Los Angeles Rams can still make the 2026 NFL playoffs.

Record: 2-2. Place in the NFC West: 3 of 4. They can still win the NFC West. If the season ended today they would be the number 7 seed in the NFC. Winning every game left would put them in the playoffs whatever happens elsewhere. They can finish with 15 wins at most.
