The playoff participants in the NFL have been determined.
As the last team, the Las Vegas Raiders secured the ticket for the knockout round in the National Football League on Sunday evening (local time).
In an unexpectedly close game in the end, the 35:32 against the Los Angeles Chargers was only determined after extra time.
In the event of a tie, both teams would have been in the playoffs, but the Raiders decided at the last second to try a field goal and won the game.
The Pittsburgh Steelers therefore slipped into the playoff places on the last day of the main round - the 18-year career of veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was extended by at least a week.
The Raiders will play against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, the Steelers will face the Kansas City Chiefs the next day.
The bye in the AFC secured the Tennessee Titans with a 28:25 against Houston Texas.
The Titans and the Chiefs have twelve wins and five losses, but the Titans have won the direct duel and therefore, like the Green Bay Packers in the NFC, get the break and continuous home rights in the playoffs.
The New England Patriots with Jakob Johnson from Stuttgart lost their last main round game against the Miami Dolphins 24:33 and could no longer intercept the Buffalo Bills at the top of the AFC East.
In the first playoff game for Johnson, there will now be a direct duel between the two teams on the German night on Sunday (2.15 a.m.).
