The NFL postseason is officially headed to the divisional round and if you like rematches, then this is the round for you.
Of the four games being played this weekend, three of them will be rematches from the regular season. The only divisional game that’s not a rematch will be happening at Levi’s Stadium where the San Francisco 49ers will be hosting the Green Bay Packers.
Although those two teams didn’t play this year, they are definitely very familiar with each other: This will mark the third time in five seasons that the Packers and 49ers have met in the postseason. It’s also their 10th playoff meeting overall, which is the NFL record for most postseason games between two teams.
We could also see some history made in the divisional round. The Texans, who have never won in this round of the playoffs, will be aiming to make it to the AFC Championship game for the first time in franchise history while the Lions will be looking to get their first divisional round win since 1991.
The Lions and Texans are two of just four teams in the NFL that have never made it to the Super Bowl, but they could take one giant step closer to making that happen this weekend.
The Texans will kick off the divisional round with a Saturday afternoon game in Baltimore. The NFL will then be saving the best for last with the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills closing out the round on Sunday night in a showdown that will be televised by CBS.
