With the Seahawks win to tonight, they will be the NFC 1-seed for the third time in a row following the election of a new pope.

2005:
New Pope is elected
Seahawks 1-seed

2013:
New Pope is elected
Seahawks 1-seed

2025:
New Pope is elected
Seahawks 1-seed

Also, the Broncos were a top 2 seed in the AFC in 2005 and 2013, and they very likely will be this year too

[Schefter] Since the NFL started recording interceptions in 1933, no team ever has finished a season without an interception. The Jets would be the first if they do not get an interception today at Buffalo.

Official r/NFL Week 18 Power Rankings

Welcome to week 18 of the 2025 r/NFL power rankings, the most biased-unbiased source for power rankings on the web. As the 16th season of these rankings comes to a close, we'd like to thank you all for reading and engaging weekly with this project. As a collective we strive to make these rankings entertaining, informative, and accurate, and are always looking improving our processes with you in mind. The 49ers put up three points and fell by three spots, while no other team fell or jumped by more than two. The Rankers have Detroit in their top 14, and the Panthers are the only playoff team ranked 15 or lower- what are your thoughts? Is another Seahawks and Patriots Superbowl inevitable? After starting the season at 25, do the Raiders deserve the worst spot? Discuss! 31/32 Reporting

1. | (/SEA) | Seahawks | -- | 14-3 | Gloves off-- that's gotta be the easiest game vs the 49ers we've had in at least 5 years. Seattle completely dominated San Francisco in all aspects and the game never felt close. That being said, Seattle should have scored far more than 13 points, missing a couple field goals and failing to execute on other long drives. But it didn't matter. 3 points is the fewest total the 49ers have ever scored under Kyle Shanahan. Teams quarterbacked by Nick Mullens, Jimmy Garoppolo never performed this poorly. And all that credit goes to the insanity that is the Seahawks defense. Over their previous 3 games, the 49ers averaged 42.3 points, 455.3 yards, and 29.3 first downs. Seattle held them to 3 points, 173 yards, and 9 first downs. Any doubt Sam Darnold and the offense presents is washed away by Mike MacDonald's suffocating defense. I trust them to keep us in every single game, regardless of whether or not Sam Darnold sees ghosts. It'll be nice to have the week off as we prepare for the divisional round. Go Hawks.
2. | (/NE) | Patriots | -- | 14-3 | With the regular season coming to an end, it's almost mind blowing how much of a turnaround this franchise has undergone in a single calendar year. 2025 started with the Patriots fresh off of dismal back-to-back 4-13 seasons that each led to the firing of a head coach and their entire staff. Belichik's poor roster construction had finally caught up to him, and Jerod Mayo's attempts to steer the franchise in a new direction were feeble at best. Hope was hard to find in early 2025, and even the promise of an easy schedule had most Pats fans dreaming of an 8 win season at best. The addition of Vrabel and re-addition of McDaniels did help inspire a bit of confidence, but even the most delusional among us knew that this was likely to be a rebuilding year, that the massive amount of cap space meant that the talent on the roster was severely lacking, and that Maye was only in his second year and likely needed longer to develop in another new (and historically complicated) offensive system. And after Week 1, many of those fears were validated. The Patriots managed to lose to the lowly Raiders, starting fresh with a new coaching staff as well after their own miserable 2024 season. I'm not afraid to admit I was feeling pretty doom and gloom about the future of the team after that first week, but it didn't take long for Vrabel and Co. to shut me up. After another frustrating loss to the Steelers in week 3, New England ripped off 11 straight wins en-route to a 14-3 season that saw them tied with the Broncos at the top of the AFC and the division winner of the East. This has also been a complete team effort; the coaching is visibly improved, the rookie draft class has been phenomenal, the defense has become respectable once more, and most importantly, Drake Maye has gone from promising rookie to a legit MVP candidate in a single year. Whereas last year saw January bring relief that the season was finally ending, this year January brings the promise
