The NFL divisional round is here!
Kicking things off Saturday, the AFC takes center stage first, as the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs play host to the fourth-seeded Jacksonville Jaguars. K.C., coming off a wild-card bye week, previously beat Jacksonville in Week 10 of the regular season after jumping out to a 20-point lead. But if there’s one thing we know about the Jags, it’s that’s no lead is safe. Saturday’s matchup marks the first postseason matchup between the teams.
Later, all eyes will be on the NFC. After getting a week off, the top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles will be opening their postseason run with a game against the sixth-seeded New York Giants (8:15 p.m. ET, FOX). These two division rivals will be meeting for the third time this season after the Eagles swept the Giants in the regular season in Weeks 14 and 18.
Here are the top plays!

And we’re off!
The Jags went three-and-out on their opening possession, but a 58-yard punt set up a long field for the Chiefs right out the gate. That didn’t stop Mahomes from making big plays early, connecting with Travis Kelce for a double-digit gain.
K.C. on the board
The Chiefs took an early 7-0 lead after Mahomes hit Kelce for an 8-yard score midway through the first quarter.
Counter strike
The Jags didn’t trail long, as Jamal Agnew returned the ensuing kickoff 63 yards. A few plays later, Trevor Lawrenceconnected with Christian Kirk for the tying touchdown.
