Patrick Mahomes on what makes this season different than previous NFL playoff runs
Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes explains how he’s preparing for the playoffs, and how his Doritos commercial is a nod to his Texas upbringing.
The divisional round of the NFL playoffs means there are just seven games to go before the offseason begins.
Wild card weekend didn’t really deliver a ton of drama, leaving NFL fans wanting more. However, those duds mean we are getting a solid slate of games in the divisional round.
Whether you’re rooting for a team that’s never won before, like the Lions, or a team trying to extend their dynasty, like the Chiefs, there is something for every football fan this weekend. We’ll bid farewell to the ESPN and NBC broadcasts this week, as CBS and Fox handle the conference championships next week before the latter takes us to Super Bowl 59.
Unlike last week, Nickelodeon won’t be part of the festivities this time around. It’s strictly business from here on out.
That means each network is going with their top crews for the weekend. Here’s a look at the announcing schedule for the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
