The final day of the NFL ’s regular season is here and the playoff picture is becoming clear. As teams clinch playoff berths and seeds in Week 18 , this story will be updated to reflect who will be playing in the divisional round and who will be earning a bye. Entering Week 18 , only two of the league’s 14 playoff spots remained up for grabs, but several seeds were still undetermined until the last games were played.
The NFC Minnesota Vikings (14-2): Already assured of a playoff spot, the Vikings can earn the conference’s top seed, the NFC North title and the first-round bye that comes with it, with a win on “Sunday Night Football” against Detroit (14-2). Playoff opponent: Still to be determined. Detroit Lions (14-2): The Lions also can win the NFC North, the No. 1 seed and a bye with a victory tonight against Minnesota. Playoff opponent: Still to be determined. No. 2 seed: Philadelphia Eagles (14-3). The Eagles clinched this seed with their Week 17 win against Dallas to win the NFC East. Playoff opponent: At home vs. Green Bay during wild-card weekend. Tampa Bay Buccaneers(10-7): With a dramatic win Sunday that came down to the final moments, the Buccaneers clinched the NFC South to at last earn a playoff berth. Had the Buccaneers lost and Atlanta won, the Falcons would have made the playoffs and knocked out Tampa. Playoff opponent: Still to be determined. Washington Commanders (12-5): The Commanders pulled off a second-half comeback Sunday against Dallas to clinch the NFC’s No. 6 seed. They will play at either Tampa Bay or the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round; a Rams win will send the Commanders to L.A., and a loss sends them to Tampa. Playoff opponent: Still to be determined. No. 7 seed: Green Bay Packers (11-6): The Packers’ last-second loss to Chicago on Sunday broke an 11-game winning streak against the Bears and also ensured Green Bay would earn the final playoff berth
