The Buffalo Bills visit the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, meeting in the postseason for fourth time in the past five seasons. The Washington Commanders travel to Philadelphia to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game, the fifth conference title game between divisional opponents since 2002.
The No. 6 seed Washington Commanders defeated the No. 3 seed Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wild Card Weekend and the No. 1 seed Detroit Lions in the Divisional playoffs. With a win against No. 2 seed Philadelphia, Washington can become the third team ever to defeat the top three seeds in their conference in a single postseason and the third No. 6 seed to reach the Super Bowl, joining the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers (won Super Bowl XL) and 2010 Green Bay Packers (won Super Bowl XLV).

All eight of the starting quarterbacks in the Divisional playoffs were selected in the top two rounds of the NFL Draft – two were No. 1 overall selections - Detroit’s Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams’ Matthew Stafford – while six are starting for the team that drafted them.
