Two more NFL teams officially made the postseason during Week 17 of the 2025 NFL regular season, and three division titles were clinched.
On Christmas Day, a loss for the Lions meant the Packers clinched a playoff spot. But Green Bay’s loss to the Ravens on Saturday night allowed the Bears to secure the NFC North title. On Saturday afternoon, the Texans made the playoffs with a win over the Chargers, which also helped the Broncos clinch the AFC West title. And finally, the Patriots won the AFC East title after the Bills lost to the Eagles on Sunday.
So what’s at stake in the final week of the regular season? There are two spots left in the playoffs (one in each conference), neither No. 1 seed has been clinched and four division titles are still up for grabs. Let’s take a look at how those spots can be claimed.
