And then, there were eight.
The NFL Playoffs have moved into the Divisional Round. After Super Wild Card Weekend, only eight teams remain in contention for this year’s Super Bowl.
The Divisional Round also means the top-seeds are taking the field for the first time this postseason. The Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers enjoyed a first-round bye last weekend after finishing with the best records in their conferences.
Here’s what you need to know about the teams, seeding, and the TV schedule:

AFC
- Tennessee Titans vs. 4. Cincinnati Bengals
- Kansas City Chiefs vs. 3. Buffalo Bills
