The 2021-22 NFL season comes to an end in the inaugural Week 18 this weekend.

For the first time in NFL history, teams will compete in a 17th regular season game. Most of the action takes place on Sunday, Jan. 9, with two games flexed to Saturday. There will be no "Thursday Night Football" or "Monday Night Football" this week.

With only five teams clinched in the AFC and six teams clinched in the NFC, this leaves three additional playoff spots left for grabs. The Sunday games will determine the rest of the playoff picture. The teams still in the hunt in the AFC are the Ravens (vs. Steelers), the Colts (vs. Jaguars), the Steelers (vs. Ravens), Raiders (vs. Chargers) and Chargers (vs. Raiders). The teams still in the hunt in the NFC are the Saints (vs. Falcons) and the 49ers (vs. Rams). 

The Chargers vs. Raiders game will be the last "Sunday Night Football" game of the season. This game has heavy playoff implications, since whichever team wins will earn a playoff spot. The Raiders will also have a chance to make the playoffs if the Colts lose and the Steelers lose or tie. The Chargers and Raiders will also both earn playoff spots if the game ends in a tie.

Here's all the information you need to watch the full slate of NFL action on Sunday, Jan. 9.
