The NFL Division Playoffs feature familiar faces.
The AFC side of the bracket will see some of the new kids in the block in Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. The NFC series will feature some of the cunning veterans in Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Drew Brees, as well as a quarterback who has been to a Super Bowl in Jared Goff.
It should be a fun weekend to watch football as the Super Bowl champion, Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers, come down weekly to meet their opponents.

(1) HEADS USA (6) BROWN: The Chiefs begin their run-up to the Super Bowl with a game against the Browns. Kansas City got a first round in the playoffs because they had the best record in the AFC. The Browns upset the Steelers over their first playoff game in 25 years. Cleveland was last in the division round in 1995. (Sunday, 3:05 PM ET, CBS)
(2) BILLS US. (5) REQUIREMENTS: Since the Browns beat the Steelers, the Bills and Ravens will play to advance to the conference title. The Bills beat the Colts in their playoff game with the game card and the Ravens beat the Titans in their game. Buffalo wants to return to the conference title game. They have not played in the match since 1994. Baltimore has not played in the conference title game since 2013. (Saturday 20:15 ET, NBC)

NFC DEPARTMENT ROUND

(1) PACKERS VS. (6) RAMS: Packers and MVP candidate Aaron Rodgers will welcome the Los Angeles Rams in the tundra. The Packers have been on the offensive so well this season, but the Rams’ defense has apparently been able to counter the top flight offenses. Los Angeles upset the Seattle Seahawks in the game map round thanks to the defense. Aaron Donald was injured in that match and may not be able to play. His absence and whether the team will start Jared Goff will be the main storylines that will play out in the game. (Saturday, 16:35 ET, FOX)
(4) HOLY US. (5) BUCCANEERS: This is a game that NFL fans have wanted to see in the Super Bowl for so long, but they get it in the division round. When Drew Brees and Tom Brady take the field, it’s the first game in which the starting quarterback is at least 40 years old. The Saints beat the Buccaneers twice during the season, including a 38-3 lead on the road. New Orleans defeated the Chicago Bears in their game card game and the Buccaneers put Washington off in their game. This may be the last time we play these two backs to each other. It will definitely be a game to remember. (18:40 ET, Sunday, FOX)
