NFL Week 18 top storylines: Lions-Vikings fight for NFC No. 1; do Broncos, Bucs make playoffs?

New York Times  

The NFL’s regular season draws to a close Sunday, and then comes what should be a hotly contested, intrigue-filled postseason. 1 seed Sunday night’s matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and host Detroit Lions will feel like a playoff game. NFC South clincher The Atlanta Falcons were in the driver’s seat in their division and could’ve locked up the crown last Sunday with a win and a Buccaneers loss. AFC’s final playoff spot The Denver Broncos had a chance to clinch a playoff spot last week but instead suffered a painful loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The torn Achilles tendon spoiled plans last season, and all kinds of calamity, dysfunction and poor play from Rodgers and many of his teammates have doomed the Jets to yet another double-digit loss campaign — New York’s fifth straight and 10th in the last 13 seasons.
