And the end of the day of one of the ugliest Week 17's in history...

• WTAQ's Mark Daniels through WNFL's Twitter:  

Mercifully, the 2018 season is over for the Green Bay Packers.

Mark Daniels says, "The Packers may have been the first NFL team ever to quit on not just on one, but two head coaches."

• Looks like the Vikings, even with destiny in their own hands, did the same with the Bears.  Philly's going to the playoffs as the AFC #6.
• KC is the #1 in the AFC, the Chargers are the #5.
• Of the 8 late games, only 3 are going to finish within a score -- meaning only 5 of the first 15 did.
• Four of the five were Cliffhangers, the fifth is below (a Last Chance Miss).
• Big catch call coming up as Cleveland driving -- appears to have the hand under the ball for Cleveland near FG range to win it, and this is in or out of the playoffs for Baltimore (if they win) and Pittsburgh (if Cleveland pulls it out)!!!  Called a catch, and correctly, IMODO!  Hand between ball and ground.
• Three jailbreak blitzes lead to a 56 yard field goal attempt (probably would've been better to try that!) -- and there's still about 1:05 left!
• Pick wins it for Baltimore, Pittsburgh eliminated!
• Aw crap, I forgot!! If Tennessee and Indy go to a tie (below will presume they won't), then Pittsburgh eliminates them both and goes to Houston!
• With just the Sunday nighter to go, the NFL's scoring average for the year is 46.7137.  
• The record for scoring in an NFL season was 2013, when the games averaged 46.707, for 11,957 points.
• Entering the Winner Take All for the #6 in the AFC, we're at 11,912.  So we need 45.  And that, pretty much, is the exact average of the first 15.

So here are the final playoff seedings (with one exception, but we know where that is and it is a direct in-out):

AFC:

1.  Kansas City

2.  New England

3.  Houston

4.  Baltimore

5.  LA Chargers

6.  Tennessee-Indianapolis winner

Next week:

TEN-IND at HOU

LA Chargers at BAL

NFC:

1.  New Orleans

2.  LA Rams

3.  Chicago

4.  Dallas

5.  Seattle

6.  Philadelphia
