And then there were 14.

That's the number of NFL teams that are headed to the NFL postseason, which begins next week. The regular season concluded Sunday, with the final division titles and last playoff berths determined during a thrilling 14-game slate.

Joining the Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs as division winners were the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills.

Clinching a wild card spot alongside the Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams were the MIami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers.

The Bills' win over the Dolphins on Sunday night set up the AFC wild card matchups. The NFC wild card matchups were set beforehand, with the top-seeded 49ers receiving a bye:
