What an end to the NFL's regular season!

There were seven play-off spots still up for grabs and a high-scoring day saw the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Rams all win to punch their ticket.

There was late drama as the Tennessee Titans - assured of a place after earlier results - clinched the AFC South for good measure.

The Tennessee Titans just about claimed the AFC South after a wild late finish to their victory at the Houston Texans saw two field goals scored inside the last 22 seconds.

Ka'imi Fairbairn booted Houston ahead from 51 yards after previously being 24-9 and 31-15 behind in the third quarter, but Ryan Tannehill rallied quickly and hit A.J. Brown for a huge 52-yard gain to set up a game-winning kick for Sam Sloman – albeit via the upright.

Running back Derrick Henry became just the eighth player to rush for 2,000 yards in a season with 250 yards and two touchdowns in another monster game against Houston.

Deshaun Watson had 365 yards passing and three touchdowns in an impressive display that showed Houston, who finish the season with a 4-12 record, have a star franchise quarterback if they can just find some other supporting pieces for him.

The win saw the Titans edge out the Indianapolis Colts for the AFC South crown, despite them beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-18 before rushing to watch the end of the nail-biter in Houston.

Rookie Jonathan Taylor ran for 253 yards and two touchdowns but the Colts had to settle for the seventh seed in the end and a trip to Buffalo next week. The win also meant the Miami Dolphins missed out on the play-offs, despite being 10-6.

Tennessee’s reward for winning the division is to next week host the Baltimore Ravens, who will be out for revenge after losing to Henry and the Titans in last season’s play-offs.

The Cleveland Browns ended the longest active play-off drought in typical Cleveland Browns fashion, surviving a big fightback from Pittsburgh Steelers back-ups to win 24-22 and make the post-season for the first time since 2002.

It was a game more about nerve than the box score, and Baker Mayfield showed plenty of it down the stretch, even sealing the game himself with a first-down run. To add even more spice, the Browns will now face the Steelers’ first team next week in Pittsburgh.

The Miami Dolphins had their destiny in their own hands before their trip to the Buffalo Bills, but they were ripped apart by Josh Allen and Isaiah McKenzie in a remarkable 56-26 win that saw the Bills go flying into the post-season.

The Baltimore Ravens also made impressive progress into the play-offs with a dominant rushing display in their 38-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, where they tallied an incredible 404 yards on the ground.

The Kansas City Chiefs rested most of their star players, which allowed the Los Angeles Chargers to earn a 38-21 success as impressive rookie Justin Herbert set a new record for touchdown passes in his debut season.

With the Chiefs sitting out next week as the top seeds in the AFC, it will mean three weeks between games for Patrick Mahomes and company – time will tell whether head coach Andy Reid has made a mistake if rustiness strikes for the defending champions.

The Green Bay Packers secured the number one seed in the NFC and that crucial week off with a 35-16 victory over the Chicago Bears, where Aaron Rodgers enhanced his Most Valuable Player prospects with a four-touchdown performance.

The Packers finish on 13-3 for the season and will put their feet up next week as the other six NFC sides battle it out. The Bears will be one of those sides despite losing out to their NFC North rivals, though, as they scrape in despite an 8-8 record.

The Bears edged out the Arizona Cardinals on a tiebreaker after the Cardinals lost 18-7 to the Los Angeles Rams in a battle of the back-up quarterbacks. Rams QB John Walford had 231 yards passing and 56 yards rushing as he guided his side into the post-season.

The Rams will face a tough divisional battle against the Seattle Seahawks next week – with the NFC West champions unable to bag the top seed despite a 26-23 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Russell Wilson had a quiet game until the fourth quarter, when he produced some trademark elusive scrambling before firing two touchdowns to Tyler Lockett, before Alex Collins sealed the victory.

The New Orleans Saints had to settle for the second seed despite an emphatic 33-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers putting them on 12-4 for the season. Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes and Taysom Hill ran in one in the absence of star rusher Alvin Kamara.

We've still got the late game when the NFC East will be decided. If Washington beat Philadelphia they'll take up the fourth seed in the NFC, if they lose then it'll be the New York Giants who will host Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers in next week's Super Wildcard Weekend.

The rest of the play-off standings, and the fixtures for next week, are locked in though.

Houston Texans 38-41 Tennessee Titans

What a finish!

Ryan Tannehill fires a deep bomb for A.J. Brown, who goes up and hauls it in for a 52-yard gain. That sets up a 37-yard field-goal attempt for Sam Sloman, who just about converts via the upright to claim a thrilling win.

We're level, and looking like overtime as Deshaun Watson gets his team just in range for Ka'imi Fairbairn to send a 51-yard effort just over to tie the game with just 22 seconds left.

While we wait for the action to end in Houston and Denver, here are the full-time scores from the other late games...

• Kansas City Chiefs 21-38 Los Angeles Chargers

The Indianapolis Colts claim their place in the play-offs and officially eliminate the Miami Dolphins in the process. They're now tuning in to the end of the Tennessee game to see who'll be AFC South champions.

The return of Kyler Murray almost resulted in a field goal - Mike Nugent's 37-yard effort was blocked. But that was as good as it got for Arizona.

Back-up quarterback John Wolford has just scampered for a first down that should seal victory - and a play-off place - for the Rams.

Derrick Henry becomes just the eighth player to run for 2,000 yards in a single NFL season. He's not done just yet either...
