Because the National Football League operates on a seasonal calendar where the postseason takes place during the winter months, the playoff picture resets entirely each year following the conclusion of the regular-season schedule. During the offseason and early exhibition months, all teams begin on equal footing with clean slates, meaning no franchise is currently eliminated from a postseason berth. The opportunity to fight for a playoff spot and make a run toward the championship will be determined entirely by how well the squad executes during the upcoming regular-season campaign.
