The Divisional Round begins with Buffalo Bills being a rare road favorite against the top-seeded Denver Broncos on CBS. When it’s over, NFL fans will be treated to round three of the San Francisco 49ers vs. the Seattle Seahawks after the two teams split during NFC West play during the regular season, with the road team winning both matchups.
The Houston Texans’ pass rush made Aaron Rodgers look old and broken in the Wild Card Round, but facing Drake Maye and the New England Patriots will be a different monster in round two. The nightcap between the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears should be absolute cinema.
