NFL Playoffs 2016: Divisional Round TV Schedule

The first round of the NFL Playoffs is over, but when will games kickoff next weekend. 

We are through the first weekend of NFL Playoff action, as the matchups for the Divisional Round of the postseason have now been set.

The Chiefs and Steelers both punched their tickets to the Divisional Round on Saturday, as they will both again be on the road next weekend. Unlike Saturday, the Chiefs have an actual game to prepare for, as the Patriots are not the Texans and are about as hungry as it gets.

Minnesota and Washington did their best to make sure no home teams won this weekend, as the Seahawks and Packers both moved on to the next round. That whole winning on the road thing is something that both teams will be looking to continue, as the matchups are rematches of games they lost earlier in the season.

Here’s a look at the TV schedule for next week’s Divisional Round games:

Saturday

Patriots vs. Chiefs — 4:35pm ET on CBS
Cardinals vs. Packers — 8:15pm ET on NBC

Sunday

Panthers vs. Seahawks — 1:05pm ET on FOX
Broncos vs. Steelers — 4:40pm ET on CBS

Both of the NFC games are rematches of contests we saw earlier in the year. While Seattle copied their success against the Vikings in the Wild Card, they’ll look to reverse fortune against a Panthers team that beat them at home earlier this season. Ditto for the Packers, who were blown out by the Cardinals in Week 16, with that game also being played in Arizona.
