Week 17 did not disappoint. The Ravens' playoff hopes stayed alive after Saturday's 41-24 thrashing of the Packers without Lamar Jackson and the Browns' upset win over the Steelers. While both teams could be shorthanded on Sunday, the Steelers and Ravens will battle in Week 18 for the AFC North title.

The NFC South title will also be decided next week in a Panthers-Bucs matchup after both teams lost on Sunday. The No. 1 seed in the AFC and NFC is still up for grabs after the Seahawks cruised against the Panthers, the Broncos won on Christmas Day, the Jaguars completed a comeback against Indianapolis and Drake Maye's five-touchdown performance led the Patriots to a blowout victory over the Jets. The Eagles narrowly snuck past the Bills in a 13-12 win.

Teams battling in the standings were also fighting for something more. The Raiders can clinch the No. 1 pick with another loss after Sunday's defeat to the Giants. The Lions and Colts will also have to look forward to next season after their playoff hopes were erased by losses.

Follow along with the latest NFL news and injury updates ahead of Week 18.
