Week 18 Playoff Scenarios for Every NFL Team With a UVA Football Alum

The final week of the NFL season has arrived. Just one playoff spot remains available in each of the NFC and AFC playoff pictures with only a few teams still maintaining a glimmer of hope to secure their spot, while several other NFL teams who have already clinched playoff berths are jostling for seeding in the final week of the regular season. Seven former Virginia football players are on the rosters of teams who are in the playoffs or could make the NFL Playoffs in week 18. Read on for full playoff scenarios for every contending team with a former Virginia football player on the roster entering the final week of the regular season.

Kansas City Chiefs (13-3)

UVA alum: Juan Thornhill

Philadelphia Eagles (13-3)

UVA alum: Anthony Harris (practice squad)
