The AFC playoffs will be running through Music City, and the Tennessee Titans should have Derrick Henry back for their first game this postseason.

The Tennessee Titans, who used an NFL-high 91 players — the most ever in a non-strike season — clinched their first No. 1 seed since 2008 and their third overall. They needed only a win Sunday, though they made it interesting before holding off the Houston Texans 28-25 to clinch the AFC’s top spot.

Titans coach Mike Vrabel noted nobody hands out T-shirts and hats for clinching the top seed.

“We understand we’re in the Elite Eight,” Vrabel said. “We’ve moved on to the second round of the playoffs without having to play a playoff game.”

This postseason will feature seven teams that missed the playoffs last season: the Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers.

The Raiders earned the final berth Sunday night with a 35-32 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Daniel Carlson’s 47-yard field goal as overtime expired. If the teams had tied, both would have qualified and the Pittsburgh Steelers would have been eliminated.

“We knew no matter what, we didn’t want a tie,” Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said. “We wanted to win the football game.”

The Kansas City Chiefs (12-5) beat the Denver Broncos on Saturday and needed the Titans to lose to clinch the AFC’s top seed. The Titans’ win locked in the Chiefs as the No. 2 seed thanks to Tennessee (12-5) holding the tiebreaker after beating Kansas City 27-3 on Oct. 24 in Nashville. The Chiefs will host the Steelers on Sunday night in the wild-card round.

Only the Green Bay Packers (13-4) had their playoff seeding set as the NFC’s No. 1 seed going into the final week of the regular season. The AFC had teams fighting for the final two wild-card spots, and the 49ers were trying to hold on to the final NFC wild-card berth.

The Indianapolis Colts came in on a roll with seven Pro Bowl players and needing only to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars to reach the playoffs. Instead, the Colts blew a wild-card berth by losing their seventh straight road game to the Jaguars 26-11.

Ben Roethlisberger will play at least one more game after Carlson’s kick ended the possibility of a chaotic tie in Las Vegas. The Steelers (9-7-1) had been on the outside looking in until the Colts’ loss, and they beat the Baltimore Ravens 16-13 in overtime. Then they had to wait and watch in case the Raiders and Chargers tied before clinching the No. 7 seed.

“I’m just happy for Ben,” Steelers kicker Chris Boswell said. “We’re sending him to the playoffs. This team deserves it.”

The fifth-seeded Raiders (10-7) will visit the fourth-seeded Bengals (10-7) on Saturday afternoon in the first game of the wild-card round. The AFC North champion Bengals routed the Raiders 32-13 in Las Vegas in November.

The Buffalo Bills (11-6) clinched their second straight AFC East title and the No. 3 seed by beating the New York Jets 27-10. They will host the sixth-seeded Patriots (10-7) on Saturday night in New England’s first wild-card game on the road under coach Bill Belichick. The Pats’ 17 previous playoff berths all came as AFC East champs.

The Patriots lost three of their last four, including 33-24 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Each team won on the other’s home field, with the Patriots throwing only three passes to win 14-10 in Buffalo while the Bills won 33-21 on Dec. 26 in Foxborough, Mass.

In the NFC, the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers (13-4) clinched the No. 2 seed by downing the Carolina Panthers 41-17. The Bucs will host the seventh-seeded Eagles (9-8) in the first wild-card game Sunday.

The third-seeded Cowboys (12-5), who routed the Eagles on Saturday night, will host the sixth-seeded 49ers (10-7) in the second wild-card game Sunday afternoon. The 49ers beat the Los Angeles Rams 27-24 in overtime to earn their second playoff berth in three seasons.

The Rams (12-5) won their third NFC West title in five seasons with coach Sean McVay when the Cardinals lost 38-30 to the Seattle Seahawks for their fourth loss in five games.

The Rams’ loss dropped them to the No. 4 seed, and they will host the fifth-seeded Cardinals (11-6) on Monday night, Jan. 17, in the wild-card round. Each team won as the visitor in the two matchups this season. The Cardinals won 37-20 in October at SoFi Stadium, and the Rams won 30-23 last month in Arizona.

“Playing on the road has been good to us, so it will be a plus if we can go out and handle business the same way,” Cardinals defensive back Jalen Thompson said.
