2025 NFL Season | 105th season of the National Football League
Week 18: Saturday, January 4th – Sunday, January 5th, 2025
BYE WEEK: None

 

The final week of the NFL season kicks off on Saturday with a thrilling doubleheader, culminating on Sunday night with the Detroit Lions hosting the Minnesota Vikings in a crucial NFC North showdown. This game will mark the 272nd and final contest of the 2024 season, with both teams fighting for the division title and the coveted No. 1 overall seed in the NFC. The winner will secure the top spot in the conference, while the loser will be locked into the fifth seed.

For many other teams, the stakes are just as high. While making the playoffs is an achievement in itself, clinching a division title and securing a home playoff game adds even more significance. This week features two historic matchups with 14-win teams battling for the first time in league history, with both the division title and No. 1 seed up for grabs.

As the playoff race tightens, there’s only one available postseason spot left in both the AFC and NFC. This has led to four pivotal games in the AFC and three in the NFC, with nine teams fighting for either a playoff berth or better seeding within the bracket.

The early window on Sunday features eight exciting games, including key matchups like the New Orleans Saints visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers traveling to face the Atlanta Falcons. The Buccaneers and Falcons are locked in a tight race for the NFC South title, with Tampa Bay holding the advantage heading into the final week.

In the late window, five games will have major playoff implications. The Miami Dolphins must defeat the New York Jets on the road to stay alive in the AFC wild card race, but their fate also hinges on the Kansas City Chiefs’ road win over the Denver Broncos, who are vying for a playoff spot themselves.

Sunday Night Football brings the regular season to a dramatic close as the Minnesota Vikings take on the Detroit Lions in a game with enormous playoff consequences. The winner, whether it’s Sam Darnold or Jared Goff leading their team, will claim the NFC North title and secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
