NFL Playoffs 2022: Divisional Round TV schedule, matchups, start times
By Josh Hill
Super Wild Card Weekend was truly wild but the NFL Playoffs continue next weekend; here’s how to watch with the complete Divisional Round TV schedule.
We’re just a weekend into the NFL Playoffs and things are already chaotic. Cincinnati won its first playoff game since 1991, the Bill Belichick domination era came to a crashing end, and Tom Brady still seems like he’s immortal.
Dallas and Philadelphia limped into the night with embarrassing losses for different reasons; Philadelphia was blown out by Tampa Bay while the Cowboys lost at home to the 49ers on a rather controversial final call.
Patriots, Cowboys loss throws NFL Playoffs into chaos
It’s not that the Patriots and Cowboys were supposed to go to the Super Bowl, but the fact that both teams are out after the first weekend of the playoffs throws a wrench into the way things were supposed to go.
For the Patriots, the ass-kicking they received from the Bills means that Buffalo is now a force to be reckoned with in the AFC. Tennessee is the No. 1 seed in the AFC but right now it feels like the road to the Super Bowl goes through the Bills.
In the NFC, the Cowboys losing means less about how Dallas factored into things and more about what might have been unleashed as a result. The San Francisco 49ers are a true wild card in the NFC and capable of busting brackets and ending Super Bowl dreams as they embark on one of their own. Losing Nick Bosa to a head injury — one that means he must clear concussion protocol to play next weekend — hurts, as does an ankle injury to Fred Warner. But the Niners are perhaps the most well-equipped team this side of the Buccaneers to beat the Packers and once again prevent Aaron Rodgers from reaching the Super Bowl.
We’re just one weekend into the NFL Playoffs and already the divisional round is shaping up to be a doozy.
