The NFL playoffs are finally here.
The league is wrapping up its regular season on Sunday night while the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings battle it out for the top seed and the bye in the NFC. The loser will instead take on the Los Angeles Rams as the No. 5 seed in Southern California.
The Kansas City Chiefs earned the top seed in the AFC as they attempt to win what would be a third straight Super Bowl. The Buffalo Bills hold the second seed, and will take on the Denver Broncos — who snuck into the postseason with a win on Sunday — in the opening round. Amazon Prime Video will get a playoff game, too. The streaming service will have the Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens game on Saturday night.
Here’s everything you need to know entering the 2025 NFL playoffs and the first weekend of the postseason.
