The NFL has released the schedule for the Divisional Round.
The NFL has set the sites, dates, and times for the Divisional Playoffs, presented by Intuit TurboTax, on January 20 and 21. There are still two games to play.
The top-seeded Baltimore Ravens or the San Francisco 49ers will both be playing in the playoffs for the first time next weekend. Green Bay will head to Santa Clara for a huge game on FOX on Saturday night.
Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Tampa, and Philadelphia still have games to play. The winners will then go on the road to play teams in other divisions.
Now that all of Sunday’s games are over, here is the first draft of the divisional round schedule, which includes times, dates, and places.
There are now games in the wild-card round of the 2023 NFL playoffs. On Saturday, the Houston Texans beat the Cleveland Browns 45–14, along with the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins 26-7.
The Buffalo Bills lost to the Dallas Cowboys (48–32) in Texas on Sunday, while the Detroit Lions won the Los Angeles Rams (24–23).
In both the NFC and AFC, the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens are the top teams and have already made it through the divisional phase.
There are games over the wild card weekend on January 13, 14, and 15. The Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Buffalo Bills game was put back a day because of snow. There have been two games on Monday.
It will be shown on ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, and ESPN+. The other game is between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
There will be four games in the regional round on January 20 and 21. The winners will go to the conference finals on January 28.
Here is what we’ve learned about the AFC as well as NFC brackets: the seeds, the TV times, and the games that will be played from wild-card weekend until Super Bowl LVIII on February 11 at Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium.
At this point, it’s less clear who will play in the AFC playoffs than the NFC. That’s because the winner in the wild-card game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills has to play on Sunday, January 21.
The NFL had planned for the two squads to play on Sunday, January 14, but bad weather forced them to move the game to January 15.
To host the No. 7 Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens, who are the No. 1 seed, must pull off a surprise victory in Buffalo. If the Bills win on Monday, though, they’ll play the Kansas City Chiefs at home.
The Houston Texans, on the other hand, will have to fly to Baltimore to play Lamar Jackson and his team.
Houston and Kansas City both moved on to the next round by beating the Cleveland Browns and the Miami Dolphins on Saturday.
The next game for Detroit is next Sunday, against the team that wins the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Packers from Green Bay put up a show to beat the Dallas Cowboys and face the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round. As the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the 49ers had a wild-card bye. On Saturday, Green Bay goes to San Francisco.
Finally, the Lions of Detroit beat the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, the first playoff win for the team since 1991. Matthew Stafford made his return to Ford Field.
The NFL released a possible plan for the final round of the playoffs coming up on Sunday night, two-thirds of the way through wild-card weekend.
The first round has two more games to go. The Buffalo Bills play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday afternoon. Their game was pushed back because of a snowstorm in New York.
Then, on Monday night, the fourth game of the first round will be played at home by the Philadelphia Eagles.
