[Vikings](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/MIN/minnesota-vikings/), they're going to be down to their third-string quarterback ( [Sam Ehlinger](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/2803330/sam-ehlinger/)) and Jeff Saturday is in the argument for worst interim coach ever. For a complete breakdown of the matchup, The Bengals have won and covered in seven straight games since losing to the Browns in Week 8, and are an incredible 20-3 ATS in their last 23 games played! The Bills are playing for seeding, while the Patriots can get into the playoffs with a win. The model enters Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season on a 160-113 run making top-rated NFL picks since 2017, and it says to avoid the Buccaneers, even though they are facing Atlanta, whom the Bucs have beaten in five straight head-to-head matchups. Everything is on the line now: postseason spots and seeding are up for grabs, and it's anyone's guess as to which clubs will prove to be contenders rather than pretenders in Week 18.

Can Trevor Lawrence lead the Jaguars to the AFC South title? Will the Packers and the Patriots claim the final two wild card places?

[NFL divisional standings](https://www.skysports.com/nfl/standings) [NFL best video clips & game highlights](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/nfl) New England Patriots (8-8) 6 (wild card) Seattle Seahawks (8-8) Baltimore Ravens (10-6) 5 (wild card) Dallas Cowboys (12-4) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8) 2 (division winners) Buffalo Bills (12-3) Jacksonville Jaguars (8-8) Kansas City Chiefs (13-3)

A pair of massive playoff implication games for the NFL on a Saturday before the final slate of Sunday games. There are some fun plays today that I highly ...

Take him over 75 yards at plus money and enjoy the day. I think the Jaguars and Titans score some points in this game, and the Jaguars take advantage of Josh Dobbs being the quarterback for the Titans. A longshot, but I like one of these a week and if Mahomes is going to break the record, it can happen against a division rival that is 30th in the NFL in passing yards given up.

Baltimore Ravens (10-6) at Cincinnati Bengals (11-4). Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow says he “probably wants to play” his team's next game but also ...

They have won their last four games on the spin without conceding more than 20 points in any of them. A few weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles looked unstoppable. The Bengals have no chance of topping the AFC. His replacement Malick Willis threw only 99 yards and was turned over twice against Houston, before he was replaced in their last game by Josh Dobbs. 1 seed and a bye in the next round. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence was on fire, throwing 368 yards and three touchdowns. “I’m sure if you polled the locker room there would be mixed votes on that,” he told reporters. Things have been made worse by their situation at quarterback. But like I said, everyone has a different way of dealing with it.” This is also a game of two teams that have recovered from terrible starts (Packers were 3-6 and the Lions were 1-6) to finish the regular season in top form. The Bills will have to play their game against the Patriots (8-8) Sunday knowing that with a win and a Chiefs loss they could still clinch that top spot in the AFC thanks to a higher win percentage. The canceled game leaves the Bills (12-3) – a win behind the Chiefs (13-3) in the hunt for the No.

How will the top-three seeds in the AFC play out? Will the Packers finish off their late season run with a playoff berth? There are just two of her many ...

No. The Seahawks are in playoff position heading into Week 18 but in order to remain there they’ll need a little help. 1 seed with a victory over Arizona AND an Eagles loss to the Giants. The Bills can clinch the top seed in the AFC with a win over the Patriots AND a Chiefs loss. All thoughts during this Bills game will be on No. The Ravens can clinch the AFC’s fifth seed with a win over Cincinnati AND a Chargers loss to the Broncos. Cincinnati will clinch the AFC’s second seed with a win over Baltimore AND a Bills loss to the Patriots. But if they lose to the Titans, thus giving up the division crown to Tennessee, they then fall into the wild card race and muddy those waters even more making it a four-team battle for one final spot. The cancellation meant the Bengals clinched the AFC North based on win percentage, but it also ruled out Cincinnati from a shot at vying for the AFC’s top seed. Things are a lot more complicated atop the AFC. That one will come down to the very last game, a Sunday Night showdown between the Packers and Lions. Incredibly, just four days later, the team announced Hamlin is awake and communicating, and was able to speak with teammates via Zoom on Friday.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin says the love shown to him after his cardiac arrest in an NFL game has been “overwhelming” as players and coaches ...

“Per the physicians at UC Medical Center, Damar is making continued progress in his recovery yet remains in critical condition. He was resuscitated on the field and hospitalised in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC). Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin says the love shown to him after his cardiac arrest in an NFL game has been “overwhelming” as players and coaches continued to show support for the hospitalised player.

Damar Hamlin made his first public statement after the Buffalo Bills safety suffered cardiac arrest following an on-field collision Jan. 2.

[NFL](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/nfl/) Thursday. Although Hamlin bounced back on his feet, after taking a few steps, he collapsed backward onto the turf. By Friday, Hamlin was in communication with his teammates via FaceTime before he addressed the concerned public, days after many witnessed him collapse on the field after colliding with Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. His neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team.” “The Love has been overwhelming, but I’m thankful for every single person that prayed for me and reached out. Since the terrifying Jan.

This utopian fantasy of superb medical care for Black people is as illusory as the make-believe racial integration of the sports world itself.

The special treatment he is receiving creates the temporary illusion of racially integrated medicine and health equity that does not exist for the vast majority of Black Americans. The most egregious racial scandal of American medicine is the fact that, unlike in the NFL, organized medicine has never created “emergency action plans” to dismantle racially differential diagnoses and treatments that do medical harm.

These treatment disparities can involve both the behaviors of medical personnel and the medical therapies they offer. As someone who has studied the medical care provided to young African American men who do not belong to the elites of athletics or entertainment, I have found the sentimental appeals and amped-up media coverage of this young Black athlete’s ordeal nothing less than disturbing. For example, the NFL’s “emergency action plan” coordinated the medical personnel of both teams who administered CPR to Hamlin and appeared to have restored heart function on the field. As a historian of medical racism, I have watched the overwhelming media response to NFL player Damar Hamlin’s heart-stopping on-field injury with a combination of uneasiness and disbelief.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has expressed his thanks in his first Instagram post since suffering a cardiac arrest five days ago.

Ahead of a round of Saturday night fixtures in the league, the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders held a moment of support with applause and cheers around the Allegiant Stadium for Hamlin. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed on Friday that the fixture has been cancelled completely following talks with the Bills, Bengals and the NFL Players Association. After receiving medical attention on the field on Monday night, Hamlin was taken into hospital and the game was subsequently suspended.

Denny Kellington performed CPR on stricken Bills safety who collapsed after making a tackle against Cincinnati last week.

The Bills on Friday had issued a statement announcing that Hamlin was progressing “remarkably” and was talking to his doctors and his family. “Keep praying for me!” Kellington on Saturday directed a request for comment from the Guardian to a Bills spokesperson. is nothing short of amazing,” McDermott told reporters at a news conference about Kellington and his colleagues on the Bills medical staff.

The Bills said [in a statement](https://twitter.com/BuffaloBills/status/1611797344390979584) Saturday: “Per the physicians at UC Medical Center, Damar is making continued progress in his recovery yet remains in critical condition. “This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me!” Players on the field joined the fans in the pregame ovation, prompted by an announcement within the stadium. This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me! The Chiefs then drove 98 yards for a touchdown to increase their lead to 21-3 and all but seal the outcome. If the Bills lose Sunday to the Patriots, their prospective meeting with the Chiefs in the AFC championship game would be played in Kansas City. Players on the field in Vegas joined the fans in the pregame ovation, prompted by an announcement within the stadium. Fans in Las Vegas cheered for Hamlin during a pregame show of support for the Buffalo Bills safety and his family. But by week’s end, there were highly encouraging signs in Hamlin’s recovery, and those in and around the sport were feeling a sense of relief.

Drezner, who is director of the University of Washington’s medicine center for sports cardiology and team physician for the Seattle Seahawks. But I think it’s a good light, it sheds a great light on the NFL. “For other people, there’s no way that they’re going to get back to business so early.” But like I said, everyone has a different way of dealing with it.” Personally, I probably want to play,” added Burrow. He had a simple message: “Love you boys.” “For some people, getting back to business is what it’s all about. “Some unbelievable, this sounds weird, but some embraces as men, just hugging somebody and actually just leaning into them. “We’ve had some very open and honest and deep talks,” said Allen. After watching the frightening event unfold, Colts rookie safety Rodney Thomas II drove from Indianapolis to Cincinnati to see his friend Hamlin.

NFL teams continued to show an outpouring of support for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin as the league resumed play on Saturday.

Hamlin got back to his feet and momentarily stood in place before falling to the field. "Throughout this week the entire NFL family has been praying for Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills as he continues his recovery. The 24-year-old Hamlin collapsed on the field after a collision with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter of Monday's game. "The Jacksonville Jaguars ask you to join us now in a moment of support and love for Damar, and cheer for him and his family as they continue their fight," the public address announcer said. "At this time, the Raiders ask everyone to join us in a moment of support and love for Damar, and cheer for him and his family as they continue their fight." During warmups on the field before the game, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes wore a Chiefs hoodie with the word "Damar" surrounded by a heart on the front and an image of Hamlin on the back, along with the slogan "Hamlin Strong."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8), champions, NFC South. Jacksonville Jaguars (9-8), champions, AFC South. Seattle Seahawks (8-8), second place, NFC West. New York Giants (9-6-1), third place, NFC East. The Giants clinched their wild-card berth behind the Eagles and Cowboys with their home win over the Colts in Week 17. Baltimore Ravens (10-6), second place, AFC North. The Cowboys can win the division with a win over the Commanders and an Eagles, and would grab the No. New England Patriots (8-8), second place, AFC East. Kansas City Chiefs (14-3), champions, AFC West. They would stay here with a win if the Eagles win, and with a loss if the Vikings lose. Cincinnati Bengals (11-4), champions, AFC North. Buffalo Bills (12-3), champions, AFC East.

In other words, if a team with a vacancy wants to interview a playoff team, it must wait until Tuesday or Wednesday to conduct a virtual interview.

In December, the league provided teams with a 33-page document on equitable hiring practices. Teams are also strongly encouraged, but not required, to enlist an inclusive hiring process coach/expert in their search for a head coach. Individuals considered "decision-makers" in the hiring process — team owners, general managers or otherwise — must get the training before beginning.

The Lions are also in the playoff hunt but need to beat the Packers and hope the Seahawks lose to the Rams. In Philadelphia, the Eagles can earn the No. Even the Pittsburgh Steelers have a chance. In fairly straightforward playoff drama, the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 20-16 on Saturday night to win the AFC South for the first time in five seasons. The Packers and Rodgers also have a straightforward path to the postseason. There are four rounds to the playoffs: The wild-card round is on Jan.

The 2022 NFL regular season's penultimate weekend has arrived. The 16 games scheduled for the two days will determine the NFC and AFC playoff picture.

Two playoff spots were still up for grabs as of Sunday's action: one in the AFC and one in the NFC. The Philadelphia Eagles are currently in first place in the NFC side of the bracket, although they have not yet clinched the NFC East division. With his fifth consecutive inactive game, James Robinson's first (and probably final) season with the Jets comes to a conclusion. The Patriots are being pursued for that position by the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers are in with a win versus the Lions. The Bears are once again in the best position to select first overall. For now, they are still the No. In order to finish 9-8 and go to the postseason for the first time since 2016, Miami broke a five-game losing run. In their final three games of the season, the Jets managed just one touchdown. Detroit now has the ball and lead (2-0-16) with 3:27 to go in Q4. Two minute warning of 1st half: the Packers are up 9-3 with their playoff ticket still in the grasp. For the Packers: win and in.

Tributes are pouring in for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during the NFL's first weekend since his on-field collapse on Monday Night Football.

Hines’ opening kickoff return for a 96-yard touchdown was also the team's first to open a game in 18 years. Brown caught a 42-yard pass from Josh Allen, putting the Bills ahead 28-17. The quick response has been widely credited for “It’s a source of inspiration not only for the Buffalo community, but I think for the entire nation.” I created The Chasing M’s Foundation as a vehicle that will allow me to deliver that impact.” And that was what I felt all day. “We thought it was going to be more tragedy heaped on our city." Sometimes they’re down, sometimes they’re up, they’re never out of it.” Pretty cool.”

“To get an opportunity to go play in the playoffs. 1 seed in the AFC conference on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium. “It’s hard to sum up this season and what we’ve been able to do,” Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence told ESPN. If the Bills win against the Patriots and make it to the AFC Championship game, along with the Chiefs, the game will be played at a neutral site. Kansas City will have a first-round bye in the playoffs and can secure the AFC Championship at home if the Buffalo Bills lose to the New England Patriots on Sunday.

All other games on Sunday will be on CBS or Fox. — The final "Sunday Night Football" offering of the 2022 NFL season is a big one, as divisional foes in the Lions and Packers face off at Lambeau Field. In Seattle, the Seahawks will look to keep its path to the postseason open with a win over the Rams before cheering for Detroit during Sunday's prime-time offering. The early window of Sunday afternoon's action is headlined by the Patriots', Dolphins' and Steelers' pursuit of the AFC's final playoff spot.

This Houston Texans blew a shot at the top pick in the draft. Here's where their other first-round pick falls in the NFL draft order.

[Houston Texans](https://www.chron.com/sports/texans/) took care of business on the football field Sunday afternoon. 1 overall pick to the Bayou City. Houston took a trio of 10-point leads on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, yet a second-half collapse seemed to set the Texans up for a 31-24 loss—which would have sent the No.

The NFL's regular season comes to an end today with 14 of 16 Week 18 games that will set both the playoff fields in the AFC and NFC in addition to the 2023 ...

Despite all of that, the future looks bright in Chicago because of what transpired during the season and in Indianapolis on Sunday. Quarterback Justin Fields ...

15 overall pick, two 2016 second-round picks, a 2016 third-round pick, a 2017 first-round pick, and a 2017 third-round pick for the No. 6 overall pick, a third-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and a seventh-round pick to the Jets to draft Orlando Pace. In 2021, the 49ers traded the No. 2004: New York Giants trade the rights to the No. 2001: Atlanta Falcons trade the No. So, what could the Bears expect in a trade for the No. Since 1997, the No. You have to consider how far down the Bears would be sliding in the draft and how many teams are in desperate need of a quarterback. Louis Rams trade the No. With Fields entrenched as the long-term option behind center in Chicago, the Bears could host a bidding war and maximize the return in a trade for the No.1 pick. 1 pick in their pocket, the Bears should have several quarterback-needy teams calling them to trade up for the right to draft Bryce Young or C.J. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

The Houston Texans finished the regular season with a 32-31 win against the the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The victory in the regular season finale ...

[Deshaun Watson](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/deshaun-watson-2FClGss4NbY7sgLY/) trade with the Browns gives the Texans the necessary draft capital to move up a spot should they choose to do so. They got draft capital for two defensive players, [Roquan Smith](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/roquan-smith-OkyvmIUSQqk1rUXH/) and [Robert Quinn](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/robert-quinn-HPeGfLh2GVZRl5nA/). Given this is a franchise that could be on the verge of hiring a new head coach for the third in time three years, depending on what happens with Lovie Smith, it’d be wrong to assume the Texans will follow conventional thinking and take a quarterback with their first pick in the 2023 draft. [Houston Texans](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/texans/) finished the regular season with a 32-31 win against the the [Indianapolis Colts](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/colts/) on Sunday. The best thing for Poles to do is to bring in as many blue-chip players as possible, and that means trading down to a team that will give up a lot for Bryce Young or whoever is the top quarterback. Possessing the second overall pick puts the Texans in position to find a quarterback who is, even if some fans are be disappointed in Sunday’s outcome. The Bears did finish 32nd in the league in passing, but Fields didn’t have much to work with, and he became the best running quarterback in football. [Justin Fields](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/justin-fields-ZOZNyO5HimYRdNoh/) showed growth and had some electrifying moments. There is the unknown about Poles and what he thinks about Fields compared to the quarterbacks in this draft. The victory in the regular season finale boosted the Texans’ win percentage enough to secure the first overall pick in this year’s draft for the [Chicago Bears](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/bears/). The Bears have needs up and down the roster. [Browns](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/browns/)) [Jets](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/jets/) [Patriots](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/patriots/)

On one hand, the New England Patriots blew it. They led the Buffalo Bills in the second half of a game that, if they won, would clinch a playoff berth.

Minnesota receiver Justin Jefferson, 23, missed out on Calvin Johnson's all-time, single-season receiving record Sunday in the Vikings' regular-season ...

Excited for that and the big games he has up ahead in his career. To just run it back and do it again. Kupp fell 17 yards short, and upon arriving in Minnesota after the season, O'Connell challenged Jefferson to fill that role in the Vikings' version of the Rams' scheme. I just knew I had a limited amount of opportunities in this game, knowing that I was not going to play in the second half." But the Packers limited him to one catch for 15 yards in a Week 17 loss at Lambeau Field, meaning Jefferson needed 194 yards Sunday. At 23, Jefferson is 136 days younger than [Green Bay Packers](/nfl/team/_/name/gb/green-bay-packers) receiver Don Hutson was when he led the league in both categories in 1936.

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

- No. 5 Cowboys at No. 6 Giants at No. 5 Chargers at No. 6 Ravens at No. 7 Dolphins at No.

The Dolphins and Jaguars grabbed the last two spots in the A.F.C., while Tom Brady broke his own record for pass completions.

But after the Jaguars’ defense allowed a field goal to open the second half, it held the Titans to a punt, a turnover or a turnover on downs on five straight possessions. Mills converted on a late fourth-and-18 and launched a ball on a fourth-and-20 into the end zone for what could have been the game-tying score. His second return and the extra point put the Bills up by 21-17 and were the final lead change of the game, handing the Patriots a loss that dropped them out of the playoffs. Once the Ravens fell to the Bengals in the afternoon, the Chargers were locked into the fifth seed in the A.F.C. With the first pick, the Texans could have grabbed the quarterback of their choice from a group that includes Alabama’s Bryce Young and Ohio State’s C.J. And though Herbert was able to finish the game fairly comfortably, Staley paid the price for playing Williams and Bosa. Brady had to fully take over as a surgeon in the short-to-intermediate area, getting down the field little by little just to stay in games. Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense never got off the ground, and Prescott produced his worst game of the season at the worst time. The Eagles held onto their top seed, but only by a smidgen, in a 22-16 win over the Giants. Pederson turned the second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence into a legitimate star, and the defense, though inconsistent, has the talent up front to be a nuisance from time to time. 7 seed, the Dolphins could be a scary opponent for the division-rival Bills in the first round. In the wild-card race among Miami, New England and Pittsburgh, the Dolphins got some help to take the final spot.
