Comments:
For the second season in a row, the Super Bowl champion has been eliminated from the playoffs, which also extends the streak of Super Bowl champions not winning a playoff game the following season to 7 years.
The Lions were 6-3 after week 10, and finished on a terrible 1-6 streak that left them out of the playoffs. Echoes of that 2007 season, where the Lions started out 6-2, and finished 1-7 (and were 0-16 the following year).
The Chargers manage to clinch the AFC's #6 seed. But they barely beat a Chiefs team playing their backups. It seems like their chances of winning in the playoffs are pretty remote.
This also means the Bengals have an excellent chance to win a playoff game for the first time in 23 years, currently the longest active winless streak.
The Cardinals are the highest ranked team out of the playoffs, and probably would've been an easy division winner in a lot of other divisions.
Packers are the lowest ranked team to make the playoffs (but not ranked as low as the 2010 Seahawks).
