AFC and NFC playoff spots are on the line throughout the day as the postseason picture continues to clear up with the season winding down.

NFL triple-header is underway, as the Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots have kicked off from Foxborough. The Chargers can clinch a playoff berth today with a win, but this defense will have to contain Drake Maye.

Welcome to The Athletic 's live blog covering all things Week 17. Saturday's focus is on a tripleheader featuring the Los Angeles Chargers taking on the New England Patriots (1 p.m. ET), Denver Broncos against the Cincinnati Bengals (4:30 p.m. ET) and an NFC West meeting between the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams (8:10 p.m. ET).

Big game in the AFC Wild Card race from Cincinnati. If the Denver Broncos win, they are in while the Bengals need to win out and need a lot of outside help.

The Sporting News is tracking live scoring updates and highlights as the Broncos and Bengals, two teams alive in the AFC wild card chase, face off on Saturday.

The loss moved New England (3-12) into position for the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, something the Patriots will likely maintain with losses in the final games against Los Angeles and Buffalo. Wins in either contest would likely drop New England several spots in the draft order.
