The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the New England Patriots on Sunday, and that has dropped them down the NFC playoff standings for the time being.
The Seattle Seahawks won to stay in a first place and they were joined by the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night at 7-2. Philly beat the Green Bay Packers, so the Detroit Lions move into the division lead. Tampa loses the head-to-head tiebreaker with Detroit, so Tampa stays fourth.
In the wild card race, the Chicago Bears won in the early window. The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams won but the Rams beat the San Francisco 49ers, so the winning Chicago Bears leapt into playoff position.
