Every game on the NFL schedule for the divisional round should be incredible.
There are only eight NFL teams left in contention for the ultimate prize at the end of year.
As incredible as Super Wild Card Weekend was, there are more games to watch. The 2021 NFL postseason is well underway with four more games being played out in the divisional round. Though not as hyped up as the conference championships or the Super Bowl, this round usually gives the viewing public a head-scratching upset every year or so. Who is going down this year?
Here is the schedule heading into the divisional round of the 2021 NFL playoffs.
NFL schedule, divisional round
Saturday games
- No. 4 Cincinnati Bengals at No. 1 Tennessee Titans: 4:30 p.m. ET, 3:30 p.m. CT (CBS)
- No. 6 San Francisco 49ers at No. 1 Green Bay Packers: 8:15 p.m. ET, 7:15 p.m. CT (FOX)
The first game of the divisional round will be between the No. 4 Cincinnati Bengals and the No. 1 Tennessee Titans. Kickoff from Nissan Stadium in Nashville will be at 4:30 p.m. ET, 3:30 p.m. ET. CBS will have the national telecast of this AFC playoff game.
After either the Bengals or the Titans punch their ticket to the AFC Championship Game, the No. 1 Green Bay Packers will welcome the No. 6 San Francisco 49ers to the Frozen Tundra in primetime. Kickoff from Lambeau Field in Green Bay will be at 8:15 p.m. ET, 7:15 p.m. CT. FOX will have the primetime telecast of the NFC playoff game.
Sunday games
- No. 4 Los Angeles Rams at No. 2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 3:00 p.m. ET, 2:00 p.m. CT (NBC)
- No. 3 Buffalo Bills at No. 2 Kansas City Chiefs: 6:30 p.m. ET, 5:30 p.m. CT (CBS)
On Sunday, the No. 2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers will continue on their Super Bowl defense as they welcome the No. 4 Los Angeles Rams to their rocking pirate ship. Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa will be at 3:00 p.m. ET. NBC will have the national telecast of the NFC playoff game.
The last game of the divisional round should have everyone excited, as the No. 2 Kansas City Chiefs will host the No. 3 Buffalo Bills in front of rabid Chiefs Kingdom. Kickoff from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City will be at 6:30 p.m. ET, 5:30 p.m. CT. CBS will have the primetime telecast of this AFC playoff game.
While all four of last year’s final four teams are still in the mix, we are guaranteed to get a different team to a conference championship game. That is because the Bills and Chiefs play each other, as well as the Bengals and Titans duking it out. If the Packers and the Buccaneers win their home games, it will be a rematch in the 2021 NFC Championship Game, being played at Lambeau Field.
May the four best teams won in the NFL this weekend.
