It's a yearly occurrence for the NFL to wait as long as possible before announcing the complete Week 18 schedule, and that announcement finally came on Sunday night. The Baltimore Ravens will travel to PIttsburgh to face the Steelers on NBC Sunday Night Football, with the winner securing the AFC North and a home game in the Wild Card round.
The news comes after the Denver Broncos (13-3) defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 20-13, and clinched the AFC West for the first time since 2015. The Houston Texans (11-5) beat the Los Angeles Chargers, 20-16, to clinch a playoff berth for the third consecutive season. DeMeco Ryan's team is the fifth team since 1990 to begin 0-3 and qualify for the postseason. Additionally, in Week 17, the Chicago Bears (11-5), who lost to San Francisco on Sunday Night Football, clinched the NFC North for the first time since 2018, while the Green Bay Packers (9-6-1) clinched a postseason berth for the third straight year. The New England Patriots (13-3) defeated the New York Jets, 42-10, and, coupled with the Bills' Week 17 loss, clinched the AFC East for the first time since 2019.
The Bears continued a multi-decade streak of 20 of the past 23 seasons (2003-25), in which at least one team finished in first place in its division the season after finishing in last place or tied for last place.
The final week of the NFL season kicks off on Saturday with a doubleheader and closes out on Sunday night with the 272nd and final game of the 2024 season. That will be the 272nd and final game of the 2024 season.
With that in mind, here's a look at the whole Week 18 schedule:
The NFL today announced the Week 18 schedule for Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 3-4. Week 18 will begin with a Saturday doubleheader on ESPN/ABC. The Seattle Seahawks will follow the Carolina Panthers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the San Francisco 49ers.
The regular season will conclude with #Game272, as the Baltimore Ravens will play at the Pittsburgh Steelers on NBC's Sunday Night Football.
