NFL 2021 Playoffs: The 14 Teams Who Qualified for Postseason Play

The NFL playoffs are here. The regular season ended on Sunday at it was a wild one, to say the least as multiple teams were eliminated from playoff contention. It ended on Sunday night with the Oakland Raiders beating the Los Angeles Chargers in a win or go-home battle. But the interesting thing is if the game ended in a tie, both teams would be taking part in the playoffs, and the Pittsburgh Steelers would be eliminated. And it came close to a tie as the Raiders kicked a game-winning field goal with just seconds left in overtime. 

"I'm pretty even keel. I think personality-wise, that's kind of me and the experiences helped for sure of getting more and more of these," Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson said, per the team's official website. "For me, it's just doing the same thing whether I'm in practice – any other kick in that game was just as important. The first four was just as important as that last one. ... It's definitely something I've tried to get a little more used to. "That's what makes it so fun though, especially as a kicker. Not that our job gets boring, but the butterflies, the adrenaline, those big kicks – that's what makes it exciting." 

Here's a look at the 14 NFL teams who have qualified for the playoffs this year.
