The NFL playoffs are finally upon us.
Even though the game between the Dolphins and Bills is not over yet, the NFL has decided to release the playoff schedule. Super Wild Card Weekend will begin on Saturday, January 13 with the Texans hosting the Browns, then conclude on Monday with the Eagles traveling to Tampa Bay.
There will be a total of six games in the first round of the playoffs and you can check out the full schedule below.
Super Wild Card Weekend
Saturday January 13
- (5) Browns at (4) Texans, 4:30 p.m. ET (NBC). For only the second time in 20 years, the Browns are in the playoffs. These two teams met in Week 16, but you probably shouldn’t take too much away from that 36-22 Cleveland win because CJ Stroud didn’t play. The Texans’ superstar rookie will be on the field this week and he will face one of his biggest tests of the season in the Browns defense.
- (6) Steelers/Dolphins/Bills at (3) Chiefs, 8:15 p.m. ET (Peacock). This match will not be finalized until after the conclusion of Sunday night’s game. The Steelers will face the Chiefs if the Dolphins win on Sunday night. The Dolphins will face the Chiefs if the Bills win on Sunday night and the Bills will face the Chiefs if Miami and Buffalo end up tying.
Sunday January 14
- (7) Steelers at (2) Bills/Dolphins OR (7) Bills at (2) Dolphins, 1 p.m. ET (CBS/stream on Paramount+ (click here). This match will not be finalized until after the conclusion of Sunday night’s game. If the Dolphins beat the Bills on Sunday night, then both teams will meet in this game. If the Bills win, then this game will be Steelers vs. Bills. If Miami and Buffalo tie Sunday night, then this game will be Steelers vs. Dolphins.
- (7) Packers at (2) Cowboys, 4:30 p.m. ET (Fox). This will be a revenge game for Mike McCarthy. This will be just the second time the Cowboys coach has faced the Packers since they were fired in December 2018. McCarthy lost the first meeting in 2022 and will look to earn his first win against Green Bay.
- (6) Rams vs. (3) Lions, 8:15 p.m. ET (NBC). For their first home playoff game in 30 years, the Lions will welcome back an old friend to Detroit: Matthew Stafford. The Rams QB led the Lions to the playoffs three times, but never got to play a home game. This will also be a huge game for Jared Goff, who will face a team and head coach that traded him because they didn’t want him anymore.
Monday January 15
- (5) Eagles at (4) Buccaneers, 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN). The Eagles stumble in the playoffs, but they’ll head to Tampa Bay knowing they beat the Buccaneers 25-11 at Raymond James Stadium in Week 3.
