NFL playoff picture: Which teams have clinched postseason berths ...

The NFL playoffs are set.
After a Week 18 that saw Tampa Bay and Denver claim the two remaining playoff spots, and multiple other teams lock in their seeding, the path to the Super Bowl finally became clear.
NFC
No. 1 seed: Detroit Lions (15-2): The Lions earned the NFC North title, the No. 1 NFC seed and a bye after beating Minnesota in the final game of the regular season.
Playoff opponent: Still to be determined. The Lions have a first-round bye.
No. 2 seed: Philadelphia Eagles (14-3). The Eagles clinched this seed with their Week 17 win against Dallas to win the NFC East.
Playoff opponent: Jan. 12 vs. Green Bay during wild-card weekend (4:30 p.m. ET, FOX)
No. 3 seed: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-7): With a dramatic win Sunday that came down to the final moments, the Buccaneers clinched the NFC South to at last earn a playoff berth. Had the Buccaneers lost and Atlanta won, the Falcons would have made the playoffs and knocked out Tampa. When the Los Angeles Rams lost a few hours later, the Bucs improved to the third seed.
Playoff opponent: Jan. 12 vs. Washington in wild-card round (7:30 p.m. ET, NBC/Peacock).
No. 4 seed: Los Angeles Rams (10-7): A close loss to Seattle in Week 18 affected LA's seed. Instead of hosting Washington in the wild-card round as the third seed, the Rams will now host either the Lions or Vikings, depending on that outcome.
Playoff opponent: Jan. 13 vs. Minnesota (8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC).
No. 5 seed: Minnesota Vikings (14-3): A loss in the regular-season finale dropped the Vikings from a possible first seed to fifth.
Playoff opponent: Jan. 13 at Los Angeles (8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC).
No. 6 seed: Washington Commanders (12-5): The Commanders pulled off a second-half comeback Sunday against Dallas to clinch the NFC’s No. 6 seed but needed to know the outcome of the Rams' regular-season finale before they could lock in their first-round matchup.
Playoff opponent: Jan. 12 at Tampa Bay in wild-card round (7:30 p.m. ET, NBC/Peacock).
No. 7 seed: Green Bay Packers (11-6): The Packers’ last-second loss to Chicago on Sunday broke an 11-game winning streak against the Bears and ensured Green Bay would earn the final playoff berth.
Playoff opponent: Jan. 12 at Philadelphia during wild-card weekend (4:30 p.m. ET, FOX).
