The Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos will face off in the playoffs for a second straight year. Buffalo blew out Denver in the wild-card round last season, but a rested Broncos team will offer a tougher challenge as the AFC's 1-seed.
The New England Patriots rode a dominant defense to their first postseason victory since the Tom Brady era against the Los Angeles Chargers. It's Drake Maye's show now, and it'll continue against the winner of Monday's tilt between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans.
In the NFC, the divisional-round slate will feature a huge rivalry bout between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. They split the regular-season series, with the Seahawks' victory coming in Week 18 to secure the No. 1 seed. The Niners beat their division foes in Week 1.
The Los Angeles Rams will visit the Chicago Bears in a battle of red-hot offenses. Both Los Angeles and Chicago used late fourth-quarter touchdowns to come up with a triumph in the wild-card round.
