In the earlier game, the Denver Broncos are hosting the New England Patriots, who return to the conference title game after a seven-year hiatus. New England’s appearance in this year’s AFC title game makes this year the 15th straight to feature either the Chiefs or Patriots in the conference championship.
Later on, the Seattle Seahawks will play for their first conference title since the 2014 season as they host the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams last won an NFC title (and Super Bowl) after the 2021 season.
