San Diego sealed their fourth AFC West title in a row with a dramatic 27-24 win over Cincinnati on Sunday, while Minnesota clinched the NFC North despite an upset loss to the Carolina Panthers.
The Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles secured their places in the postseason while last season’s Super Bowl champions Pittsburgh kept their slim hopes alive with a last-gasp win over the Green Bay Packers.
Cincinnati, playing for the first time since Thursday’s death of wide receiver Chris Henry, went down 27-24 after Nate Kaeding kicked a 52-yard field goal with three seconds left.
The win, coupled with the Denver Broncos’ loss to the Oakland Raiders, assured the Chargers (11-3) of their fifth AFC West title in six years.
