NFL playoffs

The AFC playoff picture is complete. Check out the final seeding and Wild Card Round matchups following the Patriots' Week 18 loss to the Bills.

After the morning set of games came to a close, we gained a little more clarity on just how next week's Wild Card round will look. Especially in the AFC, ...

No. A Green Bay loss and the Seahawks would sneak in thanks to their OT win over the Rams. After the early slate of games came to a close, we gained a little more clarity on just how next week's Wild Card round will look.

The win by Buffalo means that a neutral-site AFC Championship is still in play and that will happen if the Bills and Chiefs end up meeting in the AFC title game ...

If the Packers beat the Lions on Sunday night, they'll be headed to the playoffs. 1 seed if the 49ers also lose to the Cardinals. The Seahawks are currently in the seventh-spot, but they're going to need some help to actually make the playoffs. The NFC South champion Buccaneers had already clinched the fourth-seed heading into Week 18, so they had nothing to play for and it showed. On the other hand, the 49ers could drop to the third-seed if they lose. If the 49ers win, then the Vikings will be locked into a wild-card game with the Giants. Jason Sanders hit a 50-yard field goal with just 18 seconds left to give Miami an 11-6 win (The Dolphins also got a safety on the final play). The Jags win over the Titans on Saturday means that they're now headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and just the third time since 2008. Although that gives them a first-round bye, there is one catch: If they make it to the AFC title game, that game will be played at a neutral site if they play the Bills. If the Bills make it to the Super Bowl, they'll do it by playing home games in the wild-card and divisional rounds. To get in the postseason, the Dolphins needed a win over the Jets and a loss by New England, who was playing the Bills. One thing that won't be happening is a coin flip to determine where the Bengals and Ravens will be playing in the wild-card round.

Ahead of the final weekend of the regular season, a look at the 2023 NFL Playoffs schedule as teams prepare for the road to Super Bowl LVII.

The Dolphins clinched the seventh seed after the Patriots lost to the Bills on Sunday.

It will be a rematch of Week 18, with the Bengals and Ravens facing off against one another for the third time this season. 1 seed in the AFC, earning home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and a first-round bye. Miami needed the Patriots to lose to the Bills, which they did, and beat the Jets on a last-minute field goal to earn the No.

The injury riddled Miami Dolphins ride three field goals from Jason Sanders to defeat the New York Jets at Hard Rock Stadium.

Earlier in the drive, Mostert raced 14 yards and 11 yards on consecutive carries. The Dolphins’ entire defense failed to get a sack Sunday. According to website FiveThirtyEight, the Dolphins started Sunday with a 38 percent chance of making the playoffs. His second grab, for 15 yards near the sideline, came with the Dolphins facing third down at their own 8-yard line. Two plays later, Wilson rushed around the left side for 21 points, helping set up Sanders’ go-ahead 37-yard field goal. They did their part, seizing the victory on kicker Jason Sanders’ 50-yard field goal with 23 seconds left and a safety on the game’s final play.

In the early slate of games, the Dolphins were the biggest winner after they were able to sneak into the playoffs by stealing the seventh seed in the AFC away ...

The Lions will be playing for pride on Sunday night knowing that if they beat the Packers, Green Bay will also be eliminated from the playoffs. The Cowboys will now be opening the postseason against the same Buccaneers team they lost to back in Week 1. The NFC South champion Buccaneers had already clinched the fourth seed heading into Week 18, so they had nothing to play for and it showed. With the Giants sitting most of their starters, the Eagles got a late scare, but in the end, they picked up a 22-16 win, which means they're now the top seed in the NFC for the first time since 2017 when they won the Super Bowl. Jason Sanders hit a 50-yard field goal with just 18 seconds left to give Miami an 11-6 win (The Dolphins also got a safety on the final play). The Jags' win over the Titans on Saturday means that they're now headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and just the third time since 2008. Although that gives them a first-round bye, there is one catch: If they make it to the AFC title game, that game will be played at a neutral site if they play the Bills. One thing that won't be happening is a coin flip to determine where the Bengals and Ravens will be playing in the wild-card round. To get in the postseason, the Dolphins needed a win over the Jets and a loss by New England, which was playing the Bills. The Dolphins officially punched their ticket to the postseason after the Bills beat the Patriots 35-23, a victory that came thanks in large part to two kickoff return touchdowns by Nyheim Hines. The victory over the Jets marked the first time since 2003 that Miami was able to win a game without scoring a touchdown. With just three minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks were trailing 16-13 and on the brink of elimination from the playoffs, but they managed to force overtime where Jason Myers hit a game-winning field goal from 32 yards away to give Seattle a 19-16 win.

The tournament is about to get underway. Here are how the matchups in the 2023 NFL playoffs.

— The Buccaneers limped along for the majority of the season, but Tom Brady and crew eventually outlasted the rest of a weak division to capture the ttile. Justin Herbert (and their luscious locks) will be an electric matchup of two of the AFC's top young quarterbacks. The Cowboys were in the NFC East race until Week 18, but a loss to the Commanders and the Eagles taking care of business vs. The Giants are one of the NFL's most surprising teams. The Jaguars turned a suboptimal start to their season into an AFC South crown, which feels like the start of something special for Doug Pederson and Co. Now, the Ravens should hope that Lamar Jackson's knee is good to go so they can have a fighting chance against their division rival and one of the NFL's hottest squads. The Bills are coming off an electrifying, emotional win in Week 18 vs. the Patriots in the aftermath of the Damar Hamlin scare. There are 14 teams in the NFL playoff field this year. The Chiefs, Bills and Bengals are the cream of the crop, while the Jaguars, Dolphins and Chargers have returned to the postseason. The tournament is underway.
