NFL Week 18 early slate: Jaguars vs. Titans scores, highlights, news, inactives and live updates
Two win-and-in scenarios highlight the early viewing window
Updated
Week 18 is here with plenty of playoff positioning at stake.
The AFC South is up grabs Sunday when the Jacksonville Jaguars face the Tennessee Titans. The scenario is simple for the Jaguars: beat the Titans, and win the division. The Jaguars won the first matchup in Week 11, 34-14. Will they cruise again or face a challenge with their postseason hopes in the balance?
The NFC South is also at stake early Sunday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can clinch the division with a win over the league-worst Carolina Panthers. But if they stumble, they open the door for the winner of the Falcons-Saints game to claim the division.
Follow along with Yahoo Sports for highlights and updates from all the early Sunday action.

Few thought the Bucs would be going to the playoffs this season, with Tom Brady accounting for $35 million of their salary cap. What a season for Tampa Bay, even if it wasn't a pretty win to get in.

All that's left to sort out in the AFC playoffs is whether Buffalo or Miami clinch the East and the No. 2 seed tonight.
