The NFL’s regular season came to an end on Sunday, as the final playoff spots were secured in both the NFC and AFC in a fairly entertaining Week 18. In the early window, the Buccaneers got a scare from the Saints, but managed to pull out a victory to clinch the NFC South and a home game in the Wild Card round. From there, the Packers locked into the 7-seed with a loss to the Bears, setting up a fascinating matchup with the Eagles.
In the late afternoon window, the Broncos demolished the Chiefs’ backups to punch their ticket to the playoffs as the AFC’s 7-seed, while the Chargers beat the Raiders to leap the Steelers for the 5-seed. That left just one item left to be determined — the NFC’s 1-seed — as the Lions and Vikings met in Detroit on Sunday night with the NFC North title and a bye on the line.
In the first quarter of that game, the NFL released the Wild Card Weekend schedule, giving fans a chance to plan out their weekend across the 6-game slate that starts on Saturday with the annual Houston Texans home game — this time against the Chargers.
