We have a relatively light slate of games on Sunday of Week 17 thanks to the Christmas Day games and a pair of Saturday affairs. But there will still be a whole bunch of teams in action, and both playoff and draft-position implications abound throughout the day.<\/p>\n
In the early window of games, the Seattle Seahawks have a chance to maintain their hold on the No. 1 seed in the conference<\/a> against the Carolina Panthers, who can strengthen their position in the NFC South<\/a>. The Jacksonville Jaguars can keep their hold on the AFC South and keep pressure on the Denver Broncos at the top of the conference, while the Indianapolis Colts can spoil their plans.<\/p>\n The Pittsburgh Steelers can wrap up the AFC North<\/a> with a win over the Cleveland Browns. The New England Patriots can keep pressure on the Broncos by defeating the New York Jets.<\/p>\n In the late window, we have a game that might determine the No. 1 pick in the draft<\/a> between the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders. And the biggest game of the day features the Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n You can consider this your one-stop shop for injury news, as well as updates on the playoff picture and draft positioning, throughout the day.<\/p>\n Week 17 schedule<\/p>\n Thursday<\/p>\n Cowboys 30, Commanders 23 (Takeaways)<\/a> Saturday<\/p>\n Texans 20, Chargers 16 (Takeaways)<\/a> Sunday<\/p>\n Steelers at Browns (1 p.m., Live updates)<\/a> Monday<\/p>\n Rams at Falcons (8:15 p.m., Preview)<\/a><\/p>\n NFL playoff pictureAFC standingsz-Denver Broncos<\/a>\u00a0(13-3)x-New England Patriots<\/a>\u00a0(12-3)x-Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>\u00a0(11-4)Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>\u00a0(9-6)x-Buffalo Bills<\/a>\u00a0(11-4)x-Houston Texans (11-5)x-Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>\u00a0(11-5)NFC standingsx-Seattle Seahawks<\/a>\u00a0(12-3)z-Chicago Bears<\/a>\u00a0(11-4)z-Philadelphia Eagles (10-5)Carolina Panthers (8-7)x-San Francisco 49ers<\/a>\u00a0(11-4)x-Los Angeles Rams<\/a>\u00a0(11-4)x-Green Bay Packers (9-6-1)<\/p>\n x-clinched playoff berth; z-clinched division<\/p>\n 2026 NFL Draft orderNew York Giants (2-13)Las Vegas Raiders (2-13)Cleveland Browns (3-12)New York Jets (3-12)Tennessee Titans (3-12)Arizona Cardinals (3-12)Washington Commanders (4-12)New Orleans Saints (5-10)Cincinnati Bengals (5-10)Kansas City Chiefs (6-10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We have a relatively light slate of games on Sunday of Week 17 thanks to the Christmas Day…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376686,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[1258,64,63,1252,1238,1246,1237,1250,1233,1231,1249,1242,1235,593,203033,144596,169241,155807,203034,203032,203030,203031,1260,1262,1254,85],"class_list":["post-376685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-arizona-cardinals","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cincinnati-bengals","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-las-vegas-raiders","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-new-orleans-saints","tag-new-york-giants","tag-new-york-jets","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-draft-order","tag-nfl-live-blog","tag-nfl-playoff-picture","tag-nfl-playoff-race","tag-nfl-scores-today","tag-nfl-week-17-highlights","tag-nfl-week-17-live-updates","tag-nfl-week-17-scores","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
