It’s time for the conference championship games.
The New England Patriots beat the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium to wrap up the AFC side of things in the divisional round. That sets up a matchup with the Denver Broncos next weekend to determine who from the conference will be heading to Super Bowl LX.

The Broncos survived a thrilling overtime battle with the Buffalo Bills on Saturday to secure their spot in the conference title game, but they lost quarterback Bo Nix in the process. Nix suffered a broken bone in his right ankle on the second-to-last play of the game, and will now be out for the rest of the season. That means Jarrett Stidham will start.
On the other side, the Seattle Seahawks are awaiting the Los Angeles Rams in what will be an NFC West rematch for the conference. The Seahawks rolled over the San Francisco 49ers in a blowout in their divisional round matchup Saturday night. The Rams survived a wild battle with the Chicago Bears on Sunday night and kicked a game-winning field goal in overtime to reach the title game.
