    The final Sunday of the 2024 NFL regular season is here, and it promises to be nothing short of thrilling.

    In the AFC, the final wild-card spot was a three-way battle between the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, and Cincinnati Bengals.

    However, Denver got a victory over the rested Kansas City Chiefs to secure a playoff berth.

    Over in the NFC, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers locked up the NFC South title with a win against the New Orleans Saints.

    And then came the main event.

    On Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions hosted the Minnesota Vikings, with both teams entering at 14-2. Ultimately, it was the Lions who captured the NFC's No. 1 seed and the NFC North crown on the line.
