NFL playoff spots, seeding up for grabs as season ends. MORE:
A handful of teams are still fighting for a spot in the NFL playoffs on Sunday during the final week of the regular season.
In the AFC, the Tennessee Titans can clinch the final wild-card spot with a win over the Houston Texans. Pittsburgh and Oakland are still alive, but need Tennessee to lose to have a chance. Oakland's situation is particularly dire, with several results needing to go its way. Other teams that have already made the playoffs are fighting for positioning, including the right to have a first-round bye or host playoff games. San Francisco travels to Seattle with the NFC West on the line. The 49ers could clinch home-field advantage until the Super Bowl with a win.
