What we learned in NFL Week 17: Ravens, Niners clinch top seeds, Bears get first pick in draft

The top seeds have been decided.

So has the team picking first in next spring’s draft.

But the complete playoff picture? Plenty is still up for grabs, with a chaotic Week 18 coming.

Through 17 weeks of football, the AFC has just four teams locked into the playoffs, with three spots still to be decided. The Ravens have clinched the top seed. The Chiefs, who wrapped up their eighth straight AFC West title Sunday, are in. So are the Dolphins and Browns.

But there is still no winner yet in the AFC East, with the Bills (10-6) and Dolphins (11-5) set to square off this week in Miami with the division title on the line.
