    The NFL regular season has officially come to an end, and the postseason picture is now complete.

    The Pittsburgh Steelers secured their place in the playoffs — and the AFC North title — after a dramatic 26–24 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The deciding moment came on the final play of the game, when Baltimore missed a potential game-winning field goal, sealing Pittsburgh’s victory and the conference’s final playoff berth.

    At the top of the standings, the Seattle Seahawks finished as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, earning a first-round bye. In the AFC, the Denver Broncos claimed the top seed after narrowly defeating the New England Patriots, who still secured a first-round bye of their own.

    With the playoff field now set, attention turns to the opening weekend of postseason action.
