What time are NFL playoff games today? TV schedule, channels for Saturday’s wild-card doubleheader

When the first round of NFL playoff action gets underway on Saturday, the day’s AFC matchups could be among the biggest of wildcard weekend.

In one game, there are two franchises — Las Vegas and Cincinnati — who are both desperately searching for their first playoff win in over a decade. Both teams finished the year 10-7, though got there very differently and with different storylines at play throughout the season.

The other matchup features the Bills and Patriots facing off against each other for the third time this season. The AFC East rivals played in two very different games both times out, with the Patriots running the ball at will in the first meeting and the Bills coming back and winning the second meeting handily.

Given what’s at stake for all four teams taking the field Saturday and the history and rivalries at play, the first day of wildcard action could be one of the best.

Sporting News has you covered with all the information you need to watch NFL playoff action throughout Saturday.

What time are the NFL playoff games today?

Raiders vs. Bengals

  • Date: Jan. 15, 2022
  • Location: Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio
  • Start time: 4:30 p.m. ET

The first day of NFL action begins with a historic matchup. Las Vegas is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2016 and just the second time since 2002 when they won the Super Bowl. Cincinnati, meanwhile, is back in the postseason for the first time since 2015 and hasn’t won a playoff game since 1991 when they were beat by the Raiders in the divisional round.

Under interim coach Rich Bisaccia, the Raiders went 7-5 and won their final four games to make the playoffs. They were a fairly middle of the road team this year, ranking 18th in scoring offense, 11th in total offense, 26th in scoring defense and 14th in total defense.

Cincinnati, meanwhile, improved drastically, going 10-7 this year after a 4-11-1 campaign last season. Much of that has to do with the connection between Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, as the team ranked seventh in scoring offense and 13th in total offense.

Patriots vs. Bills

  • Date: Jan. 15, 2022
  • Location: Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park, NY
  • Start time: p.m.

The primetime showdown of Day 1 of wildcard weekend should be a good one. The Bills and Patriots have faced off twice this season, playing very different games each time. The first game, New England won 14-10 in Bufalo after running for 222 yards and throwing the ball just three times.

After the game, Buffalo’s defensive stars in Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde were asked if they were embarrassed by the team’s run defense that night, while Sean McDermott downplayed the credit Bill Belichick deserved in that win.

The second go-round went the Bills’ way, as they beat New England 33-21 at Gillette Stadium in a game where they had 428 total yards of offense as Josh Allen threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns while Mac Jones was picked off twice.

What channel is Chiefs vs. Broncos on today? Time, TV schedule for NFL Saturday game

The Chiefs took a hit in last week’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. They fell to 11-5, second in the AFC behind the Tennessee Titans, who are also 11-5. To make matters worse, the Chiefs’ 6-5 conference record puts them behind the Titans (7-4) in the conference. They also lost their head to head, so the only chance the Chiefs have of picking up the No. 1 seed is to beat the Broncos in the final week of the season while the Titans lose.

The reason this means so much is simple. The Chiefs are 7-2 at home, whereas they’re 4-3 on the road. The home field advantage at Arrowhead is tangible, and while the Chiefs have the talent to beat just about anyone in the NFL, any edge helps in the playoffs where things get weird. We’re also in uncharted territory with an 18-week season, so staying in friendly confines would be helpful.

MORE: Chiefs playoff picture breakdown

All of this, however, is moot if the Chiefs lose to the Broncos on Saturday. Denver is 7-9 on the season, but it’s been a rough second half of the year. They were beaten by the Chiefs 22-9 when these two teams first met in Kansas City, and that was in a poor showing for Patrick Mahomes. The Broncos had 404 yards to the Chiefs’ 216, but three turnovers ultimately did the Broncos in.

While the season is over for Denver in terms of playoff hopes, there’s a lot to build off of there. It was fairly widely accepted that the Broncos’ 3-0 start was a mirage caused by a bizarrely easy strength of schedule, but looking ahead to next season it’s clear there are several key holes to be filled. They won’t have an overwhelmingly impressive draft pick, so the Broncos will have to be smart to address those needs, specifically at quarterback with Teddy Bridgewater’s 1-year deal expiring and Drew Lock showing signs of improvement down the stretch. Lock is expected to start against Kansas City.

What channel is Ravens vs. Bengals on today? Time, TV schedule for NFL Week 16 game

Having lost three straight games, the AFC North is slipping away from the Baltimore Ravens. They’ve dropped consecutive games to the Steelers, Browns, and Packers, the lattermost loss on a failed two-point conversion at the end of the game in a game in which they played without Lamar Jackson. Sunday, they have a chance to right the ship against the current AFC North leader, the Cincinnati Bengals, who are continuing to be one of football’s most fun surprises.

The Bengals are showing versatility in their ability to win games. They took two straight losses into last week’s showdown with the Broncos and stopped their skid by winning 15-10 in a slugfest. Pro Bowler Ja’Marr Chase had just one catch for three yards, while the defense played a gritty game as the offense struggled. It was a bend-don’t-break style victory, and it’s the kind of win that should be heartening for Bengals fans hoping that this team can make waves in the postseason.

The Bengals thumped the Ravens when these teams met in November in a 41-17 laugher. Chase had eight catches for 201 yards and a touchdown in that game, while Joe Burrow threw for over 400 yards. On the other side, Lamar Jackson played a solid all-around game but just couldn’t keep up with the Bengals, who had a throttling win.

Jackson is still nursing an ankle injury and has been ruled out for Baltimore. His backup, Tyler Huntley, was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list, meaning NFL veteran Josh Johnson will get the start for the Ravens.

Here’s what you need to know to watch Ravens vs. Bengals this Sunday, including kickoff time, TV channels, and the full Week 16 NFL schedule.

What time are the NFL games today? TV schedule, channels for 2021 Christmas doubleheader

Open presents in the morning, watch games in the afternoon.

That’s what’s likely on tap for many NFL fans Saturday as there will be doubleheader action, starting with the Browns taking on the Packers and ending in the night with the Colts playing the Cardinals.

It’s bound to be an exciting day in the league, as all four teams are playing with high stakes on the line. While Aaron Rodgers and the Packers locked up the NFC North last Sunday with a win against the Ravens, they are still on the hunt to claim the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The Browns, on the other hand, will have their first game with Baker Mayfield back under center as they hope to pick up a win in a tough end-of-season slate to stay alive in the tightly contested AFC North.

MORE: Watch NFL Christmas games live with fuboTV (7-day free trial)

One team along with the Packers vying for that No. 1 spot is the Cardinals, who did themselves no favors last Sunday in losing to the Lions. They’re now a game behind Green Bay after losing two straight games, including one to the NFC West rival Rams in Week 14. The road won’t be any easier for them as they face the Colts, who are coming off a 27-17 win against the Patriots. Jonathan Taylor had another dominating game as he continued to state his MVP case, rushing for 170 yards and scoring a touchdown to help lead Indianapolis to its seventh win in its past nine contests.

Sporting News has you covered with everything you need to know to watch the two games on Christmas day.

What teams are playing on Christmas?

Game 1

  • Date: Saturday, Dec. 25
  • Matchup: Browns at Packers
  • Location: Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin
  • Start time: 4:30 p.m. ET

Game 2

  • Date: Saturday, Dec. 25
  • Matchup: Colts at Cardinals
  • Location: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona
  • Start time: 8:15 p.m. ET

Mayfield and Rodgers will meet for the first time in the late afternoon Christmas day matchup. Rodgers has only faced the Browns twice in his career, playing against them on Oct. 20, 2013, and Oct. 25, 2009, both times coming away with a win. The Browns and Packers last met on Dec. 10, 2017, but Rodgers was injured and unable to play in the game. The Packers still won 27-21 in overtime. All-time, the Packers have a 12-7 edge in the series.

Similarly, this will also be the first time that Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz play one another. Murray previously beat the Eagles on Dec. 20, 2020, but that win came against Jalen Hurts. This will also be the first time the Colts have played the Cardinals since Sept. 17, 2017, when Arizona won 16-13 in overtime. All-time, the Colts and Cardinals — dating back to the Baltimore and St. Louis days — sit at an even 8-8 record against one another.

What channel are the NFL games on tonight?

Browns vs. Packers

Fans hoping to catch the Browns take on the Packers will have two options on cable to watch the clash: Fox and the NFL Network. While the “Thursday Night Football” matchup this week stopped the simulcast between the two networks for the game, it will be back for the Christmas afternoon matchup.

Looking to stream the game instead? fuboTV, which offers a seven-day free trial, carries the NFL Network and will be an option to view the Christmas afternoon game.

Colts vs. Cardinals

The Colts and Cardinals will only be found on the NFL Network and will not be simulcast on Fox.

For those without the network available on cable, fuboTV, which has a seven-day free trial, carries the NFL Network and will be an option to view the Christmas evening matchup.

NFL history playing on Christmas

The NFL first had a doubleheader on Christmas on Saturday, Dec. 25, 1971, when the Cowboys played against the Vikings and the Dolphins played against the Chiefs. The NFL was only 14 weeks that season, so those two games were each divisional playoff games. The Cowboys, who went on to win the Super Bowl that year, beat the Vikings 20-12, while the Dolphins, whom the Cowboys beat, won 27-24 in overtime against the Chiefs. According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it was the longest game in the league’s history.

Since then, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has recorded 21 more games that have played on Christmas. The Cowboys have been involved in five of those games, the most of any team, as they continue their track record of appearing on television sets on holidays. There were three straight Christmas doubleheaders from 2004 to 2006, and two back-to-back in 2016 and 2017.

It’s not yet clear who will be available to come off the Browns’ COVID-19 list, which included starting quarterback Baker Mayfield and backup Case Keenum. Third-string QB Nick Mullens would be in line to start if neither is cleared to play.

Cleveland could also be without tight ends Austin Hooper and Ross Travis, wide receivers Jarvis Landry and JoJo Natson, offensive guards Wyatt Teller and Drew Forbes, defensive end Takkarist McKinley and offensive tackle Jedrick Wills.

The team claimed defensive tackle Josiah Bronson, who was waived by the Saints, on Wednesday for a potential replacement. The Browns will continue to announce roster moves and decisions going into the matchup in Cleveland. 

On the other hand, the Raiders have successfully avoided the league’s massive outbreak and will have several starters available to battle in Cleveland. Derek Carr, who threw 33 passes for 263 yards with a touchdown last week against the Chiefs, will look to snap the Raiders’ losing streak after they lost to Kansas City 48-9 last week.  

Here’s everything to know for Browns vs. Raiders on Monday, including kickoff time, TV channels and a full Week 15 NFL schedule.
