NFL Scores Week 18: Final Results, Playoff Standings and Picture for AFC, NFC

The NFL playoff field is set.

The Buffalo Bills' Sunday night win over the Miami Dolphins confirmed the final two wild-card weekend matchups in the AFC.

Buffalo's win propelled it to a home playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the No. 2 seed in the AFC.

Miami's loss set up one of three much-hyped reunions next weekend, as Tyreek Hill returns to Kansas City to face Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Matthew Stafford will also go back to a long-time home in the Los Angeles Rams' road clash with the Detroit Lions.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy will take on his former employer, the Green Bay Packers, on Sunday afternoon.

Green Bay was the last team to confirm a playoff position in the late afternoon window on Sunday.

Buffalo and Pittsburgh got into the 14-team field early on Sunday afternoon by way of the Jacksonville Jaguars' defeat, which also allowed the Houston Texans to win the AFC South.

Division Winners

1. Baltimore (13-4)

2. Buffalo (11-6)

3. Kansas City (11-6)

4. Houston (10-7)

Wild Card

5. Cleveland (11-6)

6. Miami (11-6)

7. Pittsburgh (10-7)

Buffalo's win over Miami set the playoff matchups in the AFC.

The Bills went from potentially playing every playoff game on the road to hosting two contests if they beat the Steelers on Sunday.

Miami dropped into the No. 6 seed and a brutal road matchup against the Chiefs, who may only have one home playoff contest this season.

The Bills victory also set up the potential for the Bills and Chiefs to renew their rivalry in the divisional round.

Pittsburgh earned its trip to Buffalo through a Saturday win over the Baltimore Ravens reserves and a loss by the Jaguars in Nashville.

Jacksonville's late-season collapse allowed the Texans to capture the AFC South in DeMeco Ryans' first year as head coach.

Houston hosts a Cleveland Browns team that beat it in Week 16 to kick off wild-card weekend on Saturday afternoon.

Division Leaders

1. San Francisco (12-5)

2. Dallas (12-5)

3. Detroit (12-5)

4. Tampa Bay (9-8)

Wild Card

5. Philadelphia (11-6)

6. Los Angeles Rams (10-7)

7. Green Bay (9-8)

Green Bay locked up the final NFC playoff spot in Sunday's late afternoon window with a win over the Chicago Bears.

The Packers secured the No. 7 seed and eliminated the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints, who both needed wins and help from elsewhere to get into the seven-team field.

Matt Lafleur's team remained behind the Los Angeles Rams in the seeding because Carson Wentz beat Sam Darnold in a battle of backup quarterbacks between the Rams and San Francisco 49ers.

Los Angeles' win set up Matthew Stafford's return to Detroit in the Lions' first home playoff game in 30 years.

Green Bay is matched up with the Dallas Cowboys in a clash of two of the NFL's most legendary franchises.

Dallas secured the NFC East title with a victory over the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys received help that they did not need from the New York Giants, who defeated the Philadelphia Eagles.

Philadelphia visits NFC South champion Tampa Bay in the No. 4-versus-No. 5 matchup on wild-card weekend.

The NFC playoff match is still simple.

The Packers must beat the Bears at home to earn the third and final wild-card berth.

The New Orleans Saints enter the late window as the No. 7 seed, but they will be eliminated with either a Green Bay win or a Seattle Seahawks victory.

Seattle must beat the Arizona Cardinals and have the Packers stumble at home to land a playoff spot.

The NFC East winner, whether it be Dallas or Philadelphia, will be the No. 2 seed and that would drop the Lions to the No. 3 seed.

The Los Angeles Rams could fall from No. 6 to No. 7 if the Packers beat the Bears. That would take away the possibility of Matthew Stafford returning to Detroit for a playoff game.

Tampa Bay locked into the No. 4 spot with an ugly 9-0 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

The Buccaneers will host the second-place team from the NFC East in the Wild Card Round.
