The Chiefs and Texans will open the divisional round on Saturday afternoon
The NFL playoffs are in full swing.
The league will wrap up its wild-card weekend on Monday night with the Los Angeles Rams-Minnesota Vikings matchup, which was relocated to Arizona after massive deadly wildfires broke out across Los Angeles this past week.
Next weekend will bring four divisional round matchups, and will see the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions back in action after their respective byes. The Chiefs rolled through the AFC and claimed the top seed. They’ll take on the Houston Texans to start their quest for what would be a third straight Super Bowl. The Lions earned the top seed in the NFC after they beat the Vikings in the final game of the regular season. They will take on the Washington Commanders, who narrowly beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, which marked the franchise’s first postseason win since the 2005 campaign.
