Only two weeks remain in the 2024 NFL regular season, and the holiday spirit is alive and well for over half of the league.

Entering Week 17, only 13 teams have already been eliminated from playoff contention. Five teams can play their way into the postseason, while another five are mathematically alive but need help to reach the postseason. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for example, need to win out and receive the gift of an Atlanta Falcons loss to claim the NFC South.

Nine franchises have already punched their tickets to the playoffs. While these teams have gotten here with strong play, great coaching and top-tier talent, they've received gifts of their own in 2024 that have helped them tremendously.

We're talking about offseason developments or player acquisitions that have made each of these playoff-bound teams better than they were a year ago.

Some of these gits were presented with fanfare, while others may have landed under the radar. Each of them, however, has had a tremendous impact on the season thus far and can play a pivotal role in the upcoming postseason tournament.
