The divisional round of the playoffs can frequently be considered by NFL football fans to be the most thrilling weekend of the year. The eight remaining teams, including the return of both No. 1 seeds, play in two doubleheaders. As the defending champions attempt to advance toward the first-ever Super Bowl threepeat, this year’s schedule features three regular-season rematches, including Saturday’s kickoff game between the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs, whom K.C. dominated when they met at Arrowhead last month. The Detroit Lions will host rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and the upstart Washington Commanders that evening in an attempt to make it to the NFC title game for the second consecutive season (but only the third overall).
Two months after running for 255 yards in a triumphant performance in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Rams will travel to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The big event, however, will take place on Sunday night in cold Western New York between Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, who are both expected to be the league’s MVP finalists this season. on Week 4, the Ravens dominated the Bills, but on their only other playoff trip to Buffalo, four years prior, they only managed three points in a chilly loss.
