Happy Sunday morning, NFL fans. After the results of yesterday’s games, we know one matchup for certain in next week’s Divisional playoffs: the Indianapolis Colts are going to Kansas City to play the Chiefs. The Colts earned that trip with a victory in Houston on Saturday, sending the winner of today’s Chargers-Ravens game to Foxboro against the New England Patriots.
Today’s games will set the other three matchups, however. The third-seeded Chicago Bears host the Philadelphia Eagles in the late afternoon game to decide who goes to New Orleans. If Chicago wins then the Cowboys, who beat the Seahawks on Saturday, will play at the Saints. If the Eagles win, they go to New Orleans and Dallas heads to play the Los Angeles Rams. Meanwhile, Baltimore hosts the Chargers in the early game to decide who plays the Patriots next Sunday.
Enjoy the games!
