The NFL season came to a close on Sunday with several postseason positions up for grabs, and boy were there dramatics.
Heading into Week 18, there were not only playoff spots open, but the seeding had yet to be decided with matchups up in the air. Viewers were treated to several "win and you're in" scenarios, notably with the Jaguars hosting Tennessee Titans on Saturday night.

NFL Playoffs 2022 Format
The NFL Playoffs expanded prior to the 2020 season and will run the same format in 2022, with 14 teams in the postseason — seven from each conference.
In each conference, the division winners will comprise the Nos. 1-4 spots, while the Nos. 5-7 spots will come via wild cards. The top seed in both the AFC and the NFC will get a first-round bye, with the other matchups proceeding as follows:
- No. 2 seed vs. No. 7 seed (lowest-ranked wild card)
- No. 3 seed vs. No. 6 seed
- No. 4 seed (lowest-ranked division winner) vs. No. 5 seed (highest-ranked wild card)
After the first round, the No. 1 seed will face the lowest remaining seed in their conference, while the other two teams will square off. Those winners will meet in the conference championship, and then the winners of those games — the AFC and NFC champions — will meet in Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ.
