While the AFC playoff picture will be finalized after the NFL's late-afternoon window of games in Week 17, the NFC won't be settled until the evening.
This level of drama is only a positive thing for the league. Two of the best teams in the NFL—the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks—will square off with the NFC West title at stake, as well as the potential No. 1 seed in the NFC.
By Sunday night, all football-watching eyes will be focused on the clash in Seattle and how the result affects the playoff picture.
