Get ready for some intense NFL action as the divisional round of the playoffs approaches! The NFL has dropped a bombshell, revealing the dates for these highly anticipated games, but here's where it gets controversial... they've kept us in the dark about the game times and networks!
The Battle for the Divisional Crown Begins!
On Saturday, January 17th, we'll witness the Bills taking on the Broncos and the 49ers facing off against the Seahawks. The following day, Sunday, January 18th, the Bears will host the Rams, and the winner of the Texans-Steelers game on Monday night will travel to New England to challenge the mighty Patriots.
But here's the catch: the NFL hasn't disclosed the game times or the networks that will broadcast these thrilling encounters. It's like they're keeping us on the edge of our seats, building anticipation for the big reveal!
Among NBC, Fox, CBS, and ESPN, each network will have the privilege of airing one of these games. The Saturday games are scheduled for a 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff and an 8:00 p.m. ET start. On Sunday, the action kicks off at 3:00 p.m. ET and 6:30 p.m. ET.
The Bills and 49ers will have a quick turnaround, playing on just six days' rest, while their opponents will have had a two-week break. The Seahawks, in particular, will have enjoyed a luxurious 15-day rest period between their Week 18 game and the divisional round showdown.
And this is the part most people miss: the rest of the schedule remains a mystery until Monday night's game, where either the Texans or Steelers will secure their spot at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
