There’s only one week left of the 2025 NFL regular season, as Week 17 brought with it more playoff implications and even key positions in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The biggest takeaway from Week 17 is that two NFL divisions – the AFC North and NFC South – will be determined by who wins key games in Week 18.
First, it’s the Pittsburgh Steelers who are upset by the Cleveland Browns at home, as Aaron Rodgers couldn’t find Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a controversial late-game play in the end zone. This loss sets up the AFC North title game between the Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens, which is only possible thanks to a road victory where Derrick Henry scored four touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers.
Next, despite losing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers in their respective matchups, the NFL tiebreakers play their Week 18 against the NFC South title game.

And while everyone was focused on the NFL playoffs, the two-game slate at 4 p.m. gave us the New York Giants vs. the Las Vegas Raiders, the winner of which held the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.
The Giants would have solidified the pick with a loss, but Jaxson Dart and the Giants’ offense blew out Geno Smith and the Raiders to give up the pick, which now belongs to Sin City.
