What NFL playoff games are on today: AFC, NFC Championship Schedule, TV channels, kick off times, how to watch

The quest for the Lombardi trophy continues today with two exciting AFC and NFC Championship Games. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Bills 27-24 on Sunday to advance to their sixth straight AFC title game. They faced Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in the day’s first game, the AFC Championship matchup, and Playoff Mahomes was on full display in the 17-10 win that sends the Chiefs back to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the last five seasons.

Now the remaining question is who will face Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs in Super Bowl 58. Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions defeated Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23, marking the first time the Lions have won two playoff games in the same postseason since 1957. They’ll now face the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday after Brock Purdy successfully led San Francisco to a 24-21 victory over the Green Bay Packers. This will be the 49ers 19th NFC Championship game in franchise history. The Detroit Lions vs San Francisco 49ers game takes place at 6:30 PM this Sunday.
