The NFL’s playoff berths were finally filled Sunday when the New York Jets beat Green Bay to win the AFC East, knocking out defending Super Bowl champion New England.

The Jets’ victory also pulled the Cleveland Browns into the postseason in only their fourth year. While those two 9-7 teams made it, three others with the same record — the Patriots, Dolphins and Broncos — were out.

In the NFC, the Atlanta Falcons backed in, losing to the Browns but getting the last wild-card berth when New Orleans, another 9-7 team, lost at home to Carolina to miss the playoffs.

The Jets’ win also gave Philadelphia the top seeding in the NFC and home-field advantage in the conference playoffs.

It was a day of churning emotions as games changed from moment to moment, particularly in the AFC, which has been jammed all season.

If the Jets had lost, New England and Miami would have been in. Denver was eliminated after the early games but beat Arizona anyway.

In the AFC, Oakland (11-5) has the top seeding and home-field advantage while Tennessee (11-5) is second and will be off next week.

They are followed by Pittsburgh (10-5-1) and the Jets (9-7), both division champions. Indianapolis (10-6) will be at the Jets next weekend and Cleveland (9-7) will play at Pittsburgh in the wild-card round.

Philadelphia (12-4) gets the top seed in the NFC.
