The Panthers have two potential paths to an NFC South title and the No. 4 seed. The first is a simple road win over the Buccaneers. The second involves losing that game but having Atlanta beat New Orleans, which would set up a three-team tie that the Panthers would take.

There is only one week left in the 2025 NFL regular season. Here's everything to know about the NFL playoffs start date and format:

Even if the Rams are locked into their seed on Sunday, coach Sean McVay plans to play his healthy starters against the Cardinals.

The NFL playoffs picture will be determined by the end of Sunday's Week 18 action but for some teams on the outside of the postseason picture, their focus is on the upcoming offseason and the impending free agents available to them.

The final week of the NFL season is here, and teams enter the weekend’s slate with varying motivations. The Jacksonville Jaguars can win the AFC South and even get the No. 1 seed if things break their way and they beat the Tennessee Titans.
