It all comes down to this.<\/p>\n
The NFL released the schedule for Week 18 of the regular season on Sunday night, and there will be at least one matchup next week that determines a playoff spots. Depending on how “Monday Night Football” goes, there could be two.<\/p>\n

The first will feature the Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who both fell earlier on Sunday to set up the likely winner-take-all matchup in the NFC South. The winner of that game \u2014 which will take place at 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday \u2014 will end up in the playoffs as the No. 4 seed in the NFC. This, however, is assuming that the Los Angeles Rams beating the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. If the Falcons win their final two games, the division will belong to the Panthers regardless via a potential three-way tiebreaker.<\/p>\n
Then, the final game of the regular season, Game 272, will take place in Pittsburgh. The Steelers fell to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon after the Baltimore Ravens’ win over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night. The two AFC North rivals will now compete for the title at Acrisure Stadium on “Sunday Night Football” to end the regular season.<\/p>\n
