The Miami Dolphins emerged as the winner of the three-team battle for the final AFC wild-card spot in Week 18's early set of games. The Dolphins used three.

The Los Angeles Chargers are the No. 4 seed last week by winning the NFC South. The 49ers got Elijah Mitchell back on Sunday, and Deebo Samuel is getting better with each week. will not play a true road game in the AFC postseason.

2023 NFL Playoff Picture: Seahawks or Packers will get NFC's final ... (CBSSports.com)

In the early slate of games, the Dolphins were the biggest winner after they were able to sneak into the playoffs by stealing the seventh seed in the AFC away ...

The Lions will be playing for pride on Sunday night knowing that if they beat the Packers, Green Bay will also be eliminated from the playoffs. The Cowboys will now be opening the postseason against the same Buccaneers team they lost to back in Week 1. The NFC South champion Buccaneers had already clinched the fourth seed heading into Week 18, so they had nothing to play for and it showed. With the Giants sitting most of their starters, the Eagles got a late scare, but in the end, they picked up a 22-16 win, which means they're now the top seed in the NFC for the first time since 2017 when they won the Super Bowl. Jason Sanders hit a 50-yard field goal with just 18 seconds left to give Miami an 11-6 win (The Dolphins also got a safety on the final play). The Jags' win over the Titans on Saturday means that they're now headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and just the third time since 2008. Although that gives them a first-round bye, there is one catch: If they make it to the AFC title game, that game will be played at a neutral site if they play the Bills. One thing that won't be happening is a coin flip to determine where the Bengals and Ravens will be playing in the wild-card round. To get in the postseason, the Dolphins needed a win over the Jets and a loss by New England, which was playing the Bills. The Dolphins officially punched their ticket to the postseason after the Bills beat the Patriots 35-23, a victory that came thanks in large part to two kickoff return touchdowns by Nyheim Hines. The victory over the Jets marked the first time since 2003 that Miami was able to win a game without scoring a touchdown. With just three minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks were trailing 16-13 and on the brink of elimination from the playoffs, but they managed to force overtime where Jason Myers hit a game-winning field goal from 32 yards away to give Seattle a 19-16 win.
