The NFL has set its Wild Card weekend, including dates, time and television channels. Which game is where? We have all the information.

After 17 weeks of the regular season, we finally have the playoffs. This year is incredibly unique, with only four teams (Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers) returning from last year’s postseason.

The Buffalo Bills reached the playoffs for the first time since 1999, breaking the longest current drought in the NFL. The Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams and Tennessee Titans also got in, snapped streaks more than a decade old.

Tennessee won’t have to wait long to get on the field, with the Titans taking on the Chiefs at 4:30 p.m. EST on Saturday afternoon. The game can be seen on ESPN, with the telecast coming from Arrowhead Stadium.

The Saturday nightcap involves the Falcons traveling to Los Angeles for a date with the Rams at 8:15 p.m. ET. That contest will be broadcast by NBC, with Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels on the call.

On Sunday, the action gets going earlier with the Bills going to Jacksonville. The Jaguars have not hosted a playoff game since the days of Tom Coughlin and Mark Brunell, all the way back to 1999. CBS will have the rights to that game, with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo getting the booth.
