NFL playoffs schedule: The dates and matchups
Following a Super Wild Card Weekend that made it to the headlines, the list of the final division round is finally confirmed.
Last week’s NFL was full of surprises, especially on Saturday when the San Francisco 49ers completed a 25-point comeback against their rival Seattle Seahawks. In a show of resilience and determination, Trevor Lawrence pulled off the third-largest NFL comeback ever.
Lawrence threw four consecutive touchdowns after four straight interceptions to erase a 27-0 deficit from the Los Angeles Chargers. This NFL schedule shock comes as the playoff race heats up heading into the final stretch of games.

Moreover, the Dallas Cowboys was the last team to secure their spot in the divisional round. They defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, earning a trip to the City by The Bay. In San Francisco, they will face off against a 49ers franchise that ended their post-season glory last season.
The New York Giants will head over to Philadelphia in the NFC game. The team will tackle an Eagles team that has already bested them twice this season. Joining them on this road trip is one of football’s best, Dallas Cowboys. That marks the first time since that one division has sent three teams on to one division.
