The 2018 NFL regular season is in the books, and now it’s time to look at the playoff picture in the NFC.
Coming into Week 17, the New Orleans Saints (13-2) had already locked up the NFC South and the #1 seed in the NFC. The Dallas Cowboys (9-6), atop the NFC East, were the only other team to have locked in their position in the NFC playoff picture as the #4 seed in the NFC. The Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears were duking it out for the #2 or #3 seed, and the Philadelphia Eagles (9-6) were hoping for a Bears win and a Vikings loss (8-6-1) for the Eagles to boot the Vikings from the #6 seed.
