The Rams "need to play better football," so their starters will play, while the Eagles and Chargers are among those who will rest players.

The Monday following the end of the NFL regular season has become known as Black Monday, as coaches often lose their jobs.

New England still has an opportunity to secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC, provided it defeats the Dolphins and the Chargers are able to beat the Broncos. Both games will be played at the same time, but Denver's path became even easier with L.A. announcing it will rest Justin Herbert, with its playoff position already locked up.

Week 18 action kicks off with a Saturday doubleheader, however, which features the Carolina Panthers at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN/ABC, and the Seattle Seahawks at the San Francisco 49ers at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN/ABC.
