The Miami Dolphins have secured their 4th consecutive winning season with a 9-3 record, placing them as the top seed in the AFC. The Baltimore Ravens, previously holding the top seed, have dropped to the second seed due to the Dolphins' 6-2 conference record. The Ravens could fall to the third seed if the Kansas City Chiefs win. The Chiefs' recent loss has kept the Dolphins as the AFC's No. 1 seed, but the Jacksonville Jaguars have the potential to overtake them with a win on Monday night. The Ravens hold a two-game lead in the AFC North, with projections favoring them to win the division. The AFC playoff picture remains competitive, with the race for the No. 1 seed intensifying as the season progresses.

Ravens no longer hold the AFC's top seed, but three different results fell in their favor during the bye week. The players are back in the building today. A path to the playoffs is clear, but there are five tough games ahead. https://t.co/ZSEcXZivSx
With the Chiefs losing, #Ravens control their fate for the No. 1 seed in AFC. Baltimore would gain the top spot by winning its final five games (due to games vs. Jaguars and Dolphins). Ravens would finish 14-3, and Jags, Dolphins and Chiefs could finish no better than 13-4.
#Ravens hold a two-game lead in the AFC North with five weeks remaining. Here is the projections to win the division: Ravens 85.6% Steelers 7.6% Browns: 6.8% Bengals: 0% Source: ESPN Analytics
As of the moment - the Miami Dolphins are the #1 seed in the AFC.
Chiefs loss keeps Dolphins as the AFC’s No. 1 seed, though the Jaguars can overtake them with a win on MNF https://t.co/Pnyr6l3AFD
#Ravens did get bumped out of the No. 1 seed in the AFC today. Dolphins moved into top spot after routing Commanders. Ravens could drop down to No. 4 seed if Chiefs and Jaguars win. KC plays at Green Bay on Sunday night. Jacksonville plays host to Cincinnati on Monday night.
As they were on bye, the Ravens dropped from the top seed in the AFC to the second seed with Miami leapfrogging them courtesy of the Dolphins' 6-2 conference record (Ravens are 6-3 vs. Afc). Ravens would drop to third seed if the Chiefs' beat the Packers tonight.
At 9-3, the Dolphins have clinched their 4th straight winning season. Different ceiling this year: win helps to keep pace with 9-3 Ravens for AFC best record & potential top seed/home field advantage. 8-3 Chiefs & 8-3 Jaguars can join them today and tomorrow, respectively.
