The NFL’s Week 18 schedule has been announced with the Cleveland Browns vs Cincinnati Bengals playing on Sunday

Las Vegas converted a pair of fourth-down tries on its latest drive, which ended with this touchdown pass from Geno Smith to Tyler Lockett, who tapped the toes in the back of the end zone to come away with the score. The loser of this game will likely land the No. 1 overall pick on the draft.

NFL Sunday is here. With the playoffs out of the equation, what Week 17 results could help the Detroit Lions' 2026 NFL draft position?

The NFL has scheduled Lions vs. Bears for Sunday, January 4 at 4:25 p.m. ET. As pointed out by MLive’s Ben Raven, that means every single Lions road game this season will kick off at a non-1 p.m. ET timeslot. Six were at 4:25 p.m. ET (one technically 4:30), two were “Sunday Night Football” games, and one was a “Monday Night Football” game.

The 2025 NFL regular season will end in the Steel City.

The Cleveland Browns' Sunday stunner over the Pittsburgh Steelers could wind up helping the Detroit Lions' 2026 NFL draft position.

The Arizona Cardinals lost their seventh consecutive game on Sunday, falling 26-19 to the Atlanta Falcons to make them 3-12. However, their place in the 2026 NFL draft order hasn't changed. They are still one of four 3-12 teams, and because of their strength of schedule, they remain at the back of them all.
