NFL Playoffs 2022 Support: Full Schedule, TV Channels, Scores for AFC and NFC Games

With the inaugural Week 18 of the NFL wrapped up, it’s time for the playoffs to begin.

The road to the postseason in Week 18 was wild. The Colts, who were widely expected to win one of two wild-card spots not yet clinched, were beaten by the Jaguars. That removed them from the AFC playoff picture and opened the door for the Steelers to get in after their win over the Ravens. As long as the Chargers and Raiders don’t tie on “Sunday Night Football,” the Steelers will go to the postseason in what is presumed to be Ben Roethlisberger’s final season.

On the NFC side of the bracket, it looked like the Saints would secure the only remaining NFC spot early on. However, the 49ers rallied from a 17-0 second-half deficit against the Rams to earn a 27-24 victory in overtime. The 49ers will be the No. 6 seed because of their win, while the Rams dropped to No. 4 but still won the NFC West thanks to the Cardinals’ 38-30 loss to the Seahawks.

Wild card games begin on Saturday, January 15, with 12 teams competing over three days. Two teams, the Packers and Titans, earned byes in the first round and won’t compete until the divisional rounds the following weekend.
