NY Jets can clinch AFC East with a win and New England loss. If New England wins,

Jets can earn wild-card with a win and Baltimore loss

Fwiw

Patriots won 13-0, the Jets only shot now is to win against Miami and have Jacksonville defeat Baltimore. New England needs either the Jets to defeat Miami for them to win the AFC East or Jacksonville to to defeat Baltimore (if Miami Wins) to win a Wild Card spot. If both Miami and Baltimore win the Patriots will miss the playoffs despite an 11-5 record on the season.

The other huge late game is Denver at San Diego where the winner wins the NFC West with a record of 8-8 and the loser goes home for the season. The Dallas vs Philadelphia games also has playoff implications.

The Jets cannot win the division no matter what they do today. If the Jets win against Miami today New England wins the Division with a record of 11-5 to Miami and New York both finishing at 10-6. If Miami wins they win the division by winning a tiebreaker over New England (better record in AFC) even though they both finish 11-5..

The only way the Jets can get in is as a Wild Card - to do they they have to win today and get help from Jacksonville who needs to beat Baltimore.

The Patriots could sneak in if Miami wins and Baltimore loses as the same Wild Card would get if they had won and Baltimore lost.. Baltimore has to win to get a wild card, lose and they are out of playoffs with a record of 10-6.
