NFL Week 18: Key Matchups and Final Regular Season Schedule Announced

This post was supposed to go out this morning, but…well, let’s just say life had other plans. My brief window of opportunity to write before my day job started was entirely devoured by updating the schedules. But hey, at least the schedules are shiny and up-to-date.

The NFL has officially unveiled the Week 18 schedule, and it’s packed with must-watch games with playoff-seeding implications. Here’s the lineup:

• Saturday, Jan. 4: ESPN/ABC will kick off with a doubleheader. First, the Cleveland Browns take on the Baltimore Ravens. While the Browns have little to play for, the game carries significant implications for the AFT North crown. Then, the Cincinnati Bengals head to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. Rivalries don’t get much juicier than this.
• Sunday, Jan. 5: The regular season wraps up with #Game272. The Minnesota Vikings travel to Detroit to face the Lions on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Whether you’re rooting for purple or Honolulu blue, this primetime showdown should be electric.

All our One Page Schedules have been updated to reflect these changes. You can find the revised schedules by clicking the “NFL Schedules” button below or accessing them through the menu.

Thanks for bearing with me as I juggled schedules this morning! And remember: Always Run to Daylight!
