NFL playoffs kick off with Wild Card Weekend featuring new teams and key matchups

The 2025 NFL playoffs start today, featuring new teams like the Washington Commanders and Minnesota Vikings. The Kansas City Chiefs aim for their tenth consecutive playoff appearance and a chance to win three Super Bowls in a row. Wild Card Weekend includes seven games, with the Houston Texans hosting the Los Angeles Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers facing the Baltimore Ravens. The NFL has relocated the Rams vs. Vikings game to Arizona due to wildfires in California. The playoffs will continue with divisional rounds and championships later this month. The final game will determine the AFC and NFC champions on February 9.
