Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) led his team to an AFC North title and its first playoff berth since 2015 during the Week 17 win over the Chiefs.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 24-of-31 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions against the Indianapolis Colts.
