2026 Offseason Overviews

Seattle locked up the NFC’s No. 1 seed and the NFC West title by stifling San Francisco’s high-powered offense in a 13-3 win, leaning on a dominant defense and a balanced run game. The loss sends the 49ers on the road for the wild-card round after their lowest-scoring and lowest-yardage outing under Kyle Shanahan.

Baker Mayfield threw a touchdown to Cade Otton and Chase McLaughlin kicked three field goals as the Buccaneers stayed alive with a sloppy 16-14 win over the Panthers in rainy Tampa. Tampa Bay now needs New Orleans to beat or tie Atlanta to clinch the NFC South, while Carolina can still win the division if the Falcons prevail.

Below are 10 head-to-head collisions to circle as you determine which games to prioritize watching and/or following this weekend, including Alex Highsmith vs. Ronnie Stanley.
