What teams are left in the NFL Playoffs? Which teams have been eliminated?

The 2023 NFL playoffs began less than two weeks ago, at which point 14 teams dreamt of being crowned Super Bowl LVIII champions. The contenders have been quickly whittled down and only four remain, with Sunday’s AFC and NFC Championship Games to decide which teams face off in the end-of-season showpiece in Las Vegas on 11 February.

Perhaps fittingly, the four teams left - the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens of the AFC, and the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers of the NFC - all won their respective sections during the regular seasons, with the Ravens and the 49ers top seeds for the postseason and skipping the Wild Card playoffs as a result.

That first playoff round saw six teams fall by the wayside, with the Philadelphia Eagles, the LA Rams, the Dallas Cowboys, the Miami Dolphins, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns falling at the first hurdle between 13 and 15 January.

The divisional playoffs then took place last weekend (20 and 21 January), with the 49ers and the Ravens entering the equation. Baltimore had little difficulty ousting the Texans, while the Lions’ excellent fourth-quarter showing was decisive against the Bucs.

Similarly, the Chiefs and the 49ers were both down going into the final quarter of their Games against the Bills and the Packers respectively, but swept their opponents aside late on to each record three-point victories.
