High stakes in Week 17 games

In the penultimate week of the NFL regular season, plenty of teams have significant stakes for the postseason.

Five teams have already clinched playoff spots in the NFC, and the remaining two berths could be spoken for by the time Sunday’s action wraps up. The top seed – and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs – is also within reach for the Green Bay Packers.

Meanwhile, in the AFC, only one team – the Kansas City Chiefs – has sewn up a spot in the postseason field. But the two-time defending conference champions should have company by the end of the day.
