NFL playoff field, divisional round weekend schedule: Seahawks to host 49ers as Broncos, AFC field wait for matchups

1 hour ago 1

The first weekend of the playoffs are officially underway. While there is plenty to still be decided in the AFC, the NFC is ready for the next round.

The Seattle Seahawks secured the top seed in the division, which allowed them to watch wild-card weekend from home. They’ll now get to host the San Francisco 49ers next weekend in the divisional round, a rematch of their thrilling Week 18 battle that clinched the NFC. The Chicago Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams in the other NFC game.

The Denver Broncos narrowly beat out the New England Patriots for the first round bye in the AFC, though that conference won’t have its divisional round matchups set until after the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers close out wild-card weekend on Monday night.

Here’s everything you need to know with the divisional round of the playoffs looming.
