NFL game plans for eight must-win Week 18 matchups: Keys to victory

As we hit Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season, eight teams are still trying to clinch one of three remaining playoff spots. The Jaguars and Titans face off Saturday in a win-and-in situation for the AFC South title, and the Jaguars could actually still slip into a wild-card berth with a loss if they get some help. The Packers and Patriots also have win-and-in scenarios, though only the Patriots have a chance to still make it if they lose. And then there are four teams -- the Seahawks, Lions, Dolphins and Steelers -- that need a win to simply stay alive and have a chance at all, though their fates rely on other matchups.
