2 NFL division titles on the line in Week 18 after crucial losses tighten playoff picture

Three different Week 17 games in the NFL set up two extremely important matchups for the regular-season finale across the league next week.

The NFC South and AFC North divisions will both be decided by who wins, as the Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Pittsburgh Steelers all lost on Sunday.

The first two teams, the Panthers and Bucs, are division rivals who both knew what was at stake when they entered their contests against the Seattle Seahawks and Miami Dolphins respectively.
