Introduction
In the National Football League (NFL), the 17th week of the season is typically referred to as “Week 17.” This is the final week of the NFL regular season, and it usually takes place in early January.
During Week 17, all 32 teams in the NFL play their 16th and final game of the regular season. The matchups are usually based on divisional standings, meaning that teams will generally play against another team in their division. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.
For example, if a team has already clinched a playoff spot, they may rest their starters in Week 17 and still qualify for the playoffs. In this case, they would be more likely to lose their game and potentially fall to a lower seed in the playoffs.
The date of Week 17 can also vary from year to year. In 2021, Week 17 is scheduled for January 3rd. The time and location of each game will be determined closer to that date.
Week 17 is often considered one of the most exciting weeks of the NFL season because it often has major implications for the playoffs. For example, if two teams are tied for a divisional title or a wild card spot, they will typically play each other in Week 17 to determine who advances to the playoffs.
In addition, many teams often rest their starters in Week 17 if they have already clinched a playoff spot. This can make for some interesting games as backups and young players get an opportunity to play meaningful snaps in the NFL.
