The final week of the NFL season is here, and what happens on Sunday will finalize the playoff picture. The No. 1 seed in the AFC is up for grabs, the NFC South will be decided by two teams that have already been eliminated from playoff contention, and we’ll of course get a Sunday night thriller between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. The winner of that game will represent the AFC North in the postseason.
There are plenty of potential individual accomplishments to keep track of as well. Cleveland Browns star pass rusher Myles Garrett is one sack away from breaking the single-season record, Drake Maye can lock down NFL MVP, Bijan Robinson needs 255 scrimmage yards to break Chris Johnson’s single-season record, and James Cook is looking to become the first Buffalo Bills player to win the rushing title since O.J. Simpson in 1976.
Follow along in the live blog below as we break down all the action from these 14 games.
