Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season started with three games on Thursday as part of the league’s Christmas Day slate. Then two more games were played on Saturday, including the one between the Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens won without Lamar Jackson and have kept themselves alive in the race to the playoffs. According to PFSN’s NFL Playoff Predictor, Baltimore currently has an 18.40% chance of winning the AFC North and making it to the postseason. However, if the Pittsburgh Steelers win today against the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens’ season will be over.
Today’s action begins with seven games in the 1:00 p.m. (ET) slate, and a total of 10 games will be played on Sunday, followed by a Monday Night Football matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Atlanta Falcons.
Maxx Crosby, Alvin Kamara, and Rashee Rice are already ruled out for this week, and apart from them, several other star players will also not play. Here is the complete list of inactives for Week 17:
