Week 15 of the 2022-23 NFL season has ended, and with it, we already know several of the teams that will be present in the upcoming postseason and others, such as the Rams, who will no longer have a chance to defend their championship title.
Week 15 of the NFL saw the five teams that had a chance to secure their ticket to the postseason do so.
San Francisco 49ers (10-4), Minnesota Vikings (11-3), and Kansas City Chiefs (11-3) are champions of their respective divisions; Buffalo Bills (11-3) and Dallas Cowboys (10-4) are in the postseason, at worst as wild card teams.
The Cowboys were the only team with a chance of securing their ticket to the next phase of the season to lose, but the Giants’ win over the Commanders ended up giving them the access.
The teams that have fallen by the wayside in week 15 are the Arizona Cardinals and Chicago Bears, with a terrible records that should already be thinking about what they have to improve next season.

Where Can I Watch it?
Bills quarterback Josh Allen led his team to a 32-29 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Saturday with four touchdown passes in Week 15 of the 2022-23 NFL season.
With this victory, the fifth in a row, the Bills secured their ticket to the playoffs and are only one win away from being the AFC East champions.
On the other hand, this loss leaves the Dolphins with their record at 8-6, accumulating their third loss in a row. However, they also put themselves within reach of several teams (Titans, Patriots, Chargers, and Jets) in the fight for the three available AFC Wild Card spots.
Despite heavy snowfall in Orchard Park, Tua Tagovailoa’s team came very close to sweeping Buffalo this season. Still, with an impressive two-point conversion by Josh Allen and a Tyler Bass field goal with two seconds on the clock, the home team came from behind in the second half to take the 29-32 victory.
Result: Bills (32) – (29) Dolphins

Jets -109
Where Can I Watch it?
The Lions (7-7) were able to give a decisive blow on the table in week 15 to take a hefty 20-17 victory over the New York Jets (7-7). A team that, little by little, sees how their chances of qualifying for the postseason are slipping away, despite having been fighting for first place in the AFC East with the Bills just three weeks ago.
On the Lions’ side, this win gives them a second wind in the season and keeps them alive in their quest to fight for a ticket to the next phase.
The Lions were able to finish this game with their entire roster healthy, which is excellent news for this team playing for its life in the last three games of the season.
With 23/38 pass completions and one touchdown pass, Jared Goff was in charge of the Lions’ play distribution in this challenging game. Meanwhile, for the Jets, C. J. Uzomah was Zach Wilson’s favorite receiver, who scored a pair of touchdown passes from the quarterback.
Result: Lions (20) – (17) Jets

Giants +183
Where Can I Watch it?
One of the week’s biggest surprises took place this Sunday at FedEx Field when the Giants could pull out a golden victory in their visit to the Commanders with a score of 20-12.
In a game that at times was tight and with some controversial scores, the New York Giants overcame the Washington Commanders to get back to winning ways and continue in the fight for the wild card in the NFC.
Daniel Jones gained 160 yards for the Giants, and Saquon Barkley ran for 87 yards and a touchdown. On the other hand, Washington’s Taylor Heinicke totaled 248 yards and a touchdown but had three interceptions in the game.
At one point in the game, specifically in the last quarter. Although the Commanders were trying to come from behind with a spectacular 61-yard reception by Dotson, the Giants caused a loose ball by Heinicke, thus ending all the chances of the home team.
Result: Commanders (12) – (20) Giants
