NFL releases times and television information for Wild Card playoff games
The Chiefs’ quest for the NFL’s first Super Bowl three-peat will begin in earnest next weekend.
Of course, the Chiefs won’t be playing, but the six teams that hope to unseat KC as the AFC’s (and NFL’s) top dog will be in action.
Here are the postseason seeds in the AFC:
- Chiefs, 15-2
- Bills, 13-4
- Ravens, 12-5
- Texans, 10-7
- Chargers, 11-6
- Steelers, 10-7
- Broncos, 10-7
And here are the NFC seeds for the playoffs:
- Lions, 15-2
- Eagles, 14-3
- Buccaneers, 10-7
- Rams, 10-7
- Vikings, 14-3
- Commanders, 12-5
- Packers, 11-6
The NFL released part of the playoff schedule on Sunday night, and it shows the times and television information for the wild-card rounds.
As the AFC’s top seed, the Chiefs — who lost 38-0 at Denver on Sunday — will play host to the lowest-seeded team after the first round of the playoffs. They can’t face the Bills or Ravens, but they could play against the Texans, Chargers, Steelers or Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round.
