After the 49ers' thrilling 42-38 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night, the NFL announced its Week 18 slate and the 49ers will host the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday for a 5:00pm Pacific Time kickoff at Levi's Stadium.

Remarkably enough, the Panthers can still clinch the NFC South with a loss to the Buccaneers in Week 18. Here's how . . .

The final couple of weeks in the NFL are coming in the 2025 season. And although the current NFL playoff picture is now coming into focus, there are some postseason situations to monitor in Week 17.

Heading into Sunday of the NFL's Week 17, the playoff picture was coming into fuller, if still fuzzy, view. There was only one playoff spot available in each conference, by virtue of the AFC North and NFC South divisional titles still being up for grabs.

The Bucs went down to Miami needing to beat the Dolphins. For all the previous weeks where wins would have made it easier to reach the playoffs, Tampa Bay instead chose to make it interesting with the NFC South again coming down to the wire.
