A winner-take-all encounter will decide the NFC playoffs in 2024.
Week 18’s schedule, revealed Sunday night, will conclude with the Detroit Lions meeting the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North title and No. 1 seed in the playoffs. The Lions (13-2) defeated the Vikings (14-2) in Week 7, but the rematch will determine the home-field advantage and first-round bye. The loser will be relegated to the No. 5 seed.
The Baltimore Ravens will play the Cleveland Browns in the afternoon, while the Cincinnati Bengals, who are still fighting for a wild-card position, will play the Pittsburgh Steelers.
