The NFL playoffs got started with a pair of AFC showdowns a year ago, but it’s the NFC that is set to get the tournament started on Saturday.
The Los Angeles Rams go into Charlotte as heavy road favorites against the Carolina Panthers, who finished with a losing record but won a three-team tiebreaker to capture the NFC South crown. The Panthers are the ultimate underdog, but they already have a win over the Rams under their belt this season.
An NFC North rival renews Saturday night when the Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers in the first playoff game at Soldier Field since 2018. The Bears are hoping their magic doesn’t run out just yet, as a win would guarantee at least one more home playoff game in Chicago.
Here’s a complete look at Saturday’s NFL playoff games, including start times and how to watch each contest.
