1 Seattle Seahawks (14-3; clinched NFC West, No. 1 seed)
2. Chicago Bears (11-6; clinched NFC North, No. 2 seed)
3. Philadelphia Eagles (11-6; clinched NFC East, No. 3 seed)
4. Carolina Panthers (8-9; Clinched NFC South, No. 4 seed)
The Seahawks got to kick back and relax on the final day of the season as the NFC’s top seed. However, there’s still the business of the second and third seeds to figure out.
The Bears weren’t able to guarantee themselves the No. 2 spot by beating the Lions. Their 19-16 loss to their division rival left things up in the air, but the Eagles weren’t able to take advantage. Philly, who rested their starters, lost to the Commanders and sealed their spot as the No. 3 seed in the NFC.
The Panthers should be looking to send the Falcons a gift. They ended up clinching the NFC South and the No. 4 seed by virtue of tiebreak when the Falcons beat the Saints.
5. Los Angeles Rams (12-5; clinched No. 5 seed)
6. San Francisco 49ers (12-5; clinched No. 6 seed)
7. Green Bay Packers (9-7-1; clinched No. 7 seed)
The Seahawks clinched the NFC West and opened the door for the Rams to leapfrog San Francisco for the fifth seed. The Rams took advantage with an easy win over the Cardinals to knock the Niners to the sixth seed.
The Packers were locked into the seven-seed regardless of this week’s results. Their loss to the Vikings while resting their starters doesn’t tell us much about where they are at.
8. Minnesota Vikings (9-8)
10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-9)
11. Atlanta Falcons (8-9)
11. Dallas Cowboys (7-9-1)
13. New Orleans Saints (6-11)
14. Washington Commanders (5-12)
15. New York Giants (4-13)
16. Arizona Cardinals (3-14)
The Buccaneers were the only team to be eliminated on Sunday, by virtue of the Falcons’ win over the Saints, despite Tampa picking up a big win over Carolina on Saturday.
