While there is a little to still be decided in the AFC, the NFC is ready for the next round of theNFL playoffs.
The Seattle Seahawks secured the top seed in the division, which allowed them to watch wild-card weekend from home. They'll now get to host the San Francisco 49ers next weekend in the divisional round, a rematch of their Week 18 battle that clinched the NFC West for Seattle. The Chicago Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams in the other NFC game.
The Denver Broncos narrowly beat out the New England Patriots for the first-round bye in the AFC, though that conference won't have all of its divisional round matchups finalized until after the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers close out wild-card weekend Monday night. The Broncos will get the Buffalo Bills, who beat the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon, while the Patriots will get the winner of the Texans-Steelers matchup.
Times for the four divisional matchups will be announced Monday night.
