NFL Week 18 winners, losers: Raiders win No. 1 pick; Ravens sent packing 

Pittsburgh Steelers: Even after a missed extra-point from kicker Chris Boswell, the Steelers escaped with the AFC North title following a missed 44-yard field-goal attempt from Ravens kicker Tyler Loop as time expired.

NFL Week 18 losers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: A win over the Panthers on Saturday night was not enough to overcome a 1-7 stretch entering Week 18. The Buccaneers (8-9) only have themselves to blame following the collapse and will miss the postseason entirely as a result.

Green Bay Packers' playoff push: Green Bay (9-7-1) enters the postseason with four consecutive losses after dealing with a rash of injuries. The Packers rested their starters for Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but a tall task awaits against the two-seed Chicago Bears, who just defeated Green Bay in Week 16.

Philadelphia Eagles' bid for No. 2 seed: If Philadelphia (11-6) took care of business against the Washington Commanders, it would have jumped to the No. 2 seed and hosted the depleted Packers in the wild-card round. Instead, the Eagles could not take advantage of a Bears loss, suffering a loss of their own and remaining a three-seed.

New York Giants' draft selection: Until they won their last two games, the Giants (4-13) were in position for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft. While the wins are great momentum for the offseason, New York is now in possession of the fifth pick.

Tyler Loop, kicker, Baltimore Ravens: Even after a 26-yard catch from TE Isaiah Likely put the Ravens in field-goal range, the rookie missed the game-winning kick to the right, keeping them out of the postseason for the first time since the 2021 season.
