With the 2024 NFL regular season coming to an end, the field for the NFL playoffs is nearly set.

隨著 2024 年 NFL 常規賽即將結束，NFL 季後賽的賽場也已基本確定。

Entering Week 18, 12 of the 14 available playoff spots had already been clinched. However, there were still three division titles left to be determined and plenty of seeding scenarios left to be decided. That included the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC.

進入第18週，14個季後賽席位中的12個已經鎖定。然而，仍有三個分區冠軍有待確定，還有大量的種子排名有待確定。其中包括 NFC 的第一號種子。

But by the end of the day on Sunday, NFL fans will know the full field of 14 teams and the shape of the league's playoff bracket. Here's what we know about it as Week 18's results are recorded.

但到週日結束時，NFL 球迷將了解 14 支球隊的全部陣容以及聯盟季後賽分組的情況。以下是我們在記錄第 18 週結果時所了解到的情況。

1. Kansas City Chiefs (15-1)* – BYE

1. 堪薩斯城酋長隊 (15-1)* – 再見

The Chiefs wrapped up the No. 1 seed with their win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas in Week 17. That is allowing them to rest their starters in Week 18 and get the coveted lone bye in the AFC.

酋長隊在第 17 週的聖誕節擊敗匹茲堡鋼人隊，鎖定了頭號種子的位置。

Kansas City will face the highest-remaining seed in the conference in the divisional round of the postseason.

堪薩斯城隊將在季後賽分區輪中面對聯盟中排名第一的種子隊。

2. Buffalo Bills (13-4)* vs. 7. Denver Broncos (10-7)

2. 布法羅比爾 (13-4)* vs. 7. 丹佛野馬 (10-7)

The Bills were the only AFC team that had a chance to challenge the Chiefs, but they will settle for the No. 2 seed in the conference instead. Buffalo wrapped up the No. 2 seed in Week 17 and got a chance to sit its starters in Week 18. Josh Allen kept his starting streak intact but played just one snap and handed the ball off before exiting the game.

比爾隊是亞足聯唯一一支有機會挑戰酋長隊的球隊，但他們將成為分區二號種子。布法羅在第17週獲得了2號種子的位置，並在第18週獲得了首發機會。比賽前將球交給了他。

Buffalo is slated to host the Broncos, who locked up a playoff spot via their 38-0 win over the Chiefs' backups. That will set up an intriguing first-round matchup between Buffalo's high-flying offense and Denver's stalwart defense.

布法羅將主場迎戰野馬隊，野馬隊以 38-0 擊敗酋長隊的替補，鎖定了季後賽席位。這將在布法羅高超的進攻和丹佛頑強的防守之間展開一場有趣的首輪對決。

3. Baltimore Ravens (12-5)* vs. 6. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)

3. 巴爾的摩烏鴉隊 (12-5)* vs. 6. 匹茲堡鋼人隊 (10-7)

The Ravens stomped the Cleveland Browns on Saturday to clinch the AFC North. The Steelers couldn't quite overcome a 12-point four quarter deficit against the Cincinnati Bengals in their Saturday night game, which denied them a chance to earn the conference's No. 5 seed.

週六，烏鴉隊擊敗克利夫蘭布朗隊，鎖定了亞足聯北區的席位。在周六晚上的比賽中，鋼人隊未能完全克服對辛辛那提猛虎隊的四節落後 12 分的局面，這讓他們失去了獲得分區五號種子的機會。

Instead, the Steelers dropped into the No. 6 seed and set themselves up to play the Ravens for a third time in the first round of the postseason. The divisional rivals split the season series, but Pittsburgh has generally gotten the better of Lamar Jackson during his career.

相反，鋼人隊跌至六號種子，並準備在季後賽首輪第三次對抗烏鴉隊。分區對手在賽季系列賽中平分秋色，但匹茲堡在拉馬爾傑克遜的職業生涯中總體上比他更好。

4. Houston Texans (10-7)* vs. 5. Los Angeles Chargers (11-6)

4. 休士頓德州人 (10-7)* vs. 5. 洛杉磯閃電 (11-6)

The Texans had long clinched the AFC South and were locked into the No. 4 seed in the AFC after their Christmas loss to the Ravens. Still, they managed to beat the Tennessee Titans in Week 18 to give themselves some positive momentum going into the NFL playoffs.

德州人隊長期以來一直鎖定亞足聯南區席位，並在聖誕節輸給烏鴉隊後鎖定了亞足聯第四號種子的位置。儘管如此，他們還是在第 18 週擊敗了田納西泰坦隊，為自己進入 NFL 季後賽帶來了一些積極的動力。

Meanwhile, the Chargers clinched the AFC's No. 5 seed after beating the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon. A loss would have allowed the Steelers to leapfrog them and force the Chargers into a tougher matchup with the Ravens, but Jim Harbaugh's squad put its best foot forward to clinch the AFC's top wild card spot.

與此同時，閃電隊在周日下午擊敗拉斯維加斯突襲者隊後鎖定了亞足聯第五號種子的位置。如果輸掉比賽，鋼人隊將超越他們，迫使閃電隊與烏鴉隊進行一場更艱難的比賽，但吉姆哈博的球隊竭盡全力，鎖定了亞足聯的頭號外卡席位。

1. Detroit Lions (14-2) – BYE

1. 底特律雄獅隊 (14-2) – 再見

The Lions haven't yet clinched the NFC North but they can do so with a win or tie against the Vikings in their "Sunday Night Football" matchup in Week 18. If they lose, Minnesota will be the No. 1 seed and Detroit will drop down to No. 5, so the NFL's final regular-season contest will be a meaningful one.

雄獅隊還沒有鎖定國聯北區，但他們可以在第18 週的“週日橄欖球之夜”對陣維京人隊的比賽中獲勝或平局，從而實現這一目標。將成為頭號種子，底特律隊將成為頭號種子跌至第五位，因此 NFL 的最後一場常規賽比賽將是一場有意義的比賽。

2. Philadelphia Eagles (14-3)* vs. 7. Green Bay Packers (11-6)

2. 費城老鷹隊 (14-3)* vs. 7. 綠灣包裝工隊 (11-6)

The Eagles played third-string quarterback Tanner McKee in Week 18 after clinching the No. 2 seed the previous week. They still beat the New York Giants 20-13 and established themselves as one of the deepest teams in the league.

老鷹隊在上週鎖定二號種子後，將在第 18 週對陣三線四分衛坦納·麥基 (Tanner McKee)。他們仍然以 20-13 擊敗紐約巨人隊，確立了聯盟深度最深的球隊之一的地位。

As for the Packers, they lost to the Chicago Bears for the first time since 2018 in the final week of the season. Cairo Santos hit a game-winning field goal as time expired to send the Packers into the postseason having lost back-to-back games. Green Bay had a chance to be the conference's No. 6 seed but now, the Packers will get a postseason rematch with an Eagles team that beat them 34-29 in Week 1.

至於包裝工隊，他們在賽季最後一周輸給了芝加哥熊隊，這是自2018年以來的首次。開羅桑托斯在比賽時間結束時命中了製勝一球，將背靠背失利的包裝工隊帶入季後賽。綠灣隊本來有機會成為分區第六號種子，但現在包裝工隊將在季後賽中與老鷹隊重賽，老鷹隊在第一周以 34-29 擊敗了他們。

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-7)* vs. 6. Washington Commanders (12-5)

3. 坦帕灣​​海盜隊 (10-7)* vs. 6. 華盛頓指揮官隊 (12-5)

The Buccaneers had a close call against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18, but Baker Mayfield did enough to earn an eight-point win over Tampa Bay's divisional rival. The team got an additional stroke of good

海盜隊在第 18 週與新奧爾良聖徒隊險些相遇，但貝克梅菲爾德的表現足以讓他們以 8 分的優勢擊敗坦帕灣的分區對手。球隊獲得了額外的好成績
