Only 3 playoff slots locked up as NFL goes into final week

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL goes into the final week of the season with the Baltimore Ravens knowing exactly what lies ahead of them in the postseason.

Coach John Harbaugh can rest Lamar Jackson and any other Ravens (13-2), who have already clinched the AFC North along with home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Minnesota Vikings (10-5) also are locked in as the NFC's sixth seed, while Buffalo (10-5) is set as the AFC's first wild-card spot in the No. 5 seed.

But New England and Kansas City are fighting for the AFC's other first-round bye.
