This is what the NFL builds to all fall. Wild-card weekend is here, with six games spread across three days, beginning Saturday. But Sunday’s schedule features the most football, with the potential for 11 hours of near-continuous playoff action.
The Buffalo Bills host the Denver Broncos in the first of three Sunday wild-card games, with the potential for snow in the forecast. MVP candidate Josh Allen has the Bills in the playoffs for the sixth straight season and he’s won four straight postseason games in the wild-card round. The Bills will be facing rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who helped the Broncos exceed expectations in coach Sean Payton’s second season in Denver.
The late afternoon game is the first of two rematches from the opening week of the 2024 regular season. The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Green Bay Packers after the two teams met in Brazil in Week 1. The Eagles are expected to have quarterback Jalen Hurts back after he missed the past two games with a concussion suffered on Dec. 22. Packers quarterback Jordan Love is also hopeful to play, according to coach Matt LaFleur, after leaving Green Bay’s regular-season finale early with an elbow injury.

The Washington Commanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wrap up Sunday’s wild-card action with the Commanders seeking a long-awaited playoff win and the Buccaneers trying to advance to the divisional round for the fourth time in five years. Washington last made the NFL postseason during the 2020 season, when it lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Buccaneers led by Tom Brady. The Commanders haven’t advanced in the playoffs since defeating Tampa Bay in the 2005 wild-card round.
