The Baltimore Ravens led the way with nine selections, followed by the Detroit Lions (7), Minnesota Vikings (6), Philadelphia Eagles (6), Dallas Cowboys (5) and Kansas City Chiefs (5).

Four teams that are not represented are the Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets and Tennessee Titans. Those teams could end up with players taking part as replacements.

Who won't be going? Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, Kerby Joseph, Kyren Williams, and Brian Thomas Jr. are among those who should feel snubbed.

The 30-year-old Jones joined the Vikings in the offseason after nine years with the Green Bay Packers. In his first season in Minnesota, Jones recorded his fourth 1,000-yard rushing season with career-high in carries (245). He was also used in the pass game with 46 receptions for 378 yards and two touchdowns.

Jones will see his contract expire after this season and said this week he hopes to stay with the Vikings.

"I hope to be here until the end of my career," Jones said Wednesday. "Honestly, this is an excellent place."

Jones was released by the Packers in March after he turned down taking a pay cut to stay in Green Bay. He signed a one-year, $7 million contract to join the Vikings and has helped the team to a 14-2 record and a chance to win the NFC North with Sunday night's matchup against the Detroit Lions.

"Last year I missed a handful of games," he said, "and played through injury as well. With that I guess the narrative got out that 'He's injury-prone and constantly injured. ... [This season], I'm letting guys know that whatever I go through throughout the week, or in that game, I'm going to be ready the following Sunday."

The Jets finish their season on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills and with change coming in the offseason, it could mean the end of Rodgers' time with the franchise after two seasons.

"I'm just more resigned to the reality of the situation," Rodgers said via ESPN. "I think there's going to be change here, and if I'm a part of the change, then I just want to make sure everybody knows I have nothing but gratitude for my time here."

There was a lot of optimism for the Jets when Rodgers joined in April 2023, but after tearing his Achilles minutes into his first game and then a disappointing 2024 season, the end of the relationship is likely here.

"I'm disappointed about the performance with myself and as a team, but really thankful for the opportunity," Rodgers said. "If I feel good coming back and they want to make another run at this, that'd be fantastic, but I'm not naive to the situation we're in."

Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander underwent surgery on his injured right knee and will miss the rest of the season, head coach Matt LaFleur announced on Wednesday. The Packers still have their Week 18 regular season finale versus the Chicago Bears and will be in the playoffs as the NFC's No. 7 seed.

Alexander had arthroscopic surgery performed on Tuesday to alleviate pain and swelling, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. The hope is that he can return if the Packers advance to the Super Bowl.

The Rams have the NFC West locked up and are tied into the No. 3 seed.

Garoppolo has not played since Jan. 7, 2023. He was suspended for two games at the start of this season for violating the NFL's performance enhancing substances policy

Running back James Conner is out for the Cardinals’ Week 18 finale versus the 49ers, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.

Conner suffered a knee injury in Week 16 against thePanthers. He tried to go last week against the Rams, but only managed four carries before re-aggravating the injury.

This season, Conner rushed for 1,094 yards and eight touchdowns. He added 414 yards receiving on 47 catches.

With the AFC's top seed locked up, the Chiefs will be resting a number of players, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

"It wasn't a hard decision. I've been through it before," head coach Andy Reid said. "It gives the other guys an opportunity to grow."

Maye took a huge hit to the head, went to the locker room and missed a series, but was cleared and returned during the Patriots' defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday.

On the Patriots' first drive, Maye took a big hit to the head. Maye went to the locker room when the Chargers put together a long drive for a touchdown. Jacoby Brissett took over at quarterback. The Patriots reported that Maye was questionable with a head injury.

On Wednesday, Maye told reporters he was feeling good.

Barkley will not go for history on Sunday against the New York Giants in the regular-season finale, head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters on Wednesday.

"We're gonna rest some guys," said Sirianni before later adding Barkley will "probably be somebody who rests" when asked a follow up question.

With Barkley's regular season finish, he will end his first season with the Eagles 101 yards behind Eric Dickerson for the NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 — a mark that was set in 1984.

It's not new for the Baltimore Ravens during the Lamar Jackson era to go into the playoffs looking like they were ready to win a Super Bowl.

Baltimore was probably the NFL's best team at the end of the 2019 and 2023 seasons, but the Ravens fell short in the playoffs and didn't reach a Super Bowl. It's hard to argue that they are the best team this season (though DVOA is very high on Baltimore). But the Ravens might be the NFL's hottest club and have worked their way into the group of championship contenders.

The difference has been defense. The Ravens were the NFL's worst passing defense early in the season, but that has dramatically changed. A strategic shift of using All-Pro Kyle Hamilton at free safety rather than near the line coincided with a big turnaround. The Ravens completely shut down the Houston Texans with a 31-2 win in Week 17. That was a statement win. The offense has been great with Jackson having a historic season and Derrick Henry adding a missing piece. If the Ravens' defense can play at a championship level, too, Baltimore will be dangerous and certainly capable of winning it all. The Ravens just have to finally get it done when it matters most.

Here are the power rankings after Week 17 of the NFL season.

Now that the Colts will officially miss the playoffs again, plenty of people are laying into the franchise — including DeForest Buckner and former punter Pat McAfee.

"We s**t the bed another year."

The only thing New York Giants fans could be somewhat happy about this season was the hope of a new era in 2025, starting with a quarterback they pick first in the NFL Draft. Shedeur Sanders, in anticipation of being the top pick, even had Giants cleats in his locker during Colorado's bowl game on Saturday.

The only thing nobody accounted for was the Giants actually winning a game and screwing up all those draft plans.

The Giants' win will change the entire outlook of the draft. The Giants, who were the lone team with only two wins on the season, don't have the inside track on the first pick anymore. The New England Patriots take over the first slot with a week to go, according to Tankathon. The Giants' win moved them out of the top two for the moment, perhaps pushing them out of position to get a top quarterback in the draft, or costing them extra picks in a trade up.

The Vikings have their quarterback. A week from now, they may have the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed, too.

After a rousing 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, which gave Sam Darnold his 14th win as a starter this season — more than any quarterback in a single season in Vikings history and the most ever by an NFL QB in his first year with a team — the debate about his future has likely ended. As the locker room door closed behind him Sunday, the closing argument for his future as a Viking locked into place, too. Waiting inside, his teammates screamed in celebration and sprayed him with water, lifting him up as the locker room sung in unison as Darnold smiled and raised his hands up into a little groove.

The team’s X account framed a video of the moment with a statement that says it all: “THAT’S OUR FREAKING QUARTERBACK”.

This is what a galvanized locker room looks like, stepping behind a starting QB who continues to put in work worthy of MVP consideration through 16 games: 4,153 passing yards, 35 touchdown passes versus 12 interceptions, a 68 percent completion rate and a 14-2 record that has delivered the Vikings to the doorstep of the NFC’s No. 1 seed and home-field advantage through the conference title game. It's the kind of thing a team would celebrate, even if it comes one week before facing the Detroit Lions in a game that will decide that top seed.
