Divisional Playoff Matchups for 2023 NFL Season


Recommended Posts

Super Wild Card Weekend is over, and after the dust settled, eight teams remain standing in the NFL. The 2023 Divisional Playoff matchups are all set, and the second round will take place this Saturday and Sunday, with the round serving as the last bastian for Saturday NFL action this season. The games are as follows:

In the AFC, the top seeded Baltimore Ravens will host the Houston Texans on Saturday. The Ravens received a bye into this round due to having the best record in the conference, while the Houston Texans won their Wild Card Playoff matchup over the Cleveland Browns. In the other game, the Buffalo Bills will host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday; the Chiefs defeated the Dolphins in their Wild Card Playoff, while the Bills defeated the Steelers in theirs.

In the NFC, the top seeded San Francisco 49ers will host the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. The Niners received a bye into this round due to having the best record in the conference, while the Packers won in Dallas over the Cowboys--the first #7 seed to win a playoff game and the only road team to win during Super Wild Card Weekend. In the other game, the Detroit Lions will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday; the Lions defeated the Los Angeles Rams in their Wild Card Playoff, while the Buccaneers won over the Philadelphia Eagles in theirs.

When the AFL and NFL merged in 1970, the Divisional Playoff served as the opening round of the playoffs until 1978, when the addition of a second Wild Card in each conference resulted in the debut of the Wild Card Playoff. In each conference, the winners of the Divisional Playoff will face each other in the Conference Championship.

So how many more rounds? I'm still just relearning.

The Divisional Playoff is the second round of the NFL Playoffs. After that, the Conference Championships (third round) take place on January 28, and finally, it's Super Bowl 58 on February 11.
