NFL games today: Wild Card Weekend Schedule, TV channels, streaming, kick-off times, how to watch, scores.
Super Wild Card Weekend will kick off in Houston and conclude in Tampa.
The NFL on Sunday night announced the schedule for the opening round of the playoffs, which begins with the AFC's fourth-seeded Houston Texans hosting the No. 5 Cleveland Browns on Saturday.
The six-game slate will carry on through Monday night, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the NFC's No. 4 seed, host the No. 5 Philadelphia Eagles. It's the second season in a row the Bucs have played on Monday to open the postseason.
The Sunday night showcase will feature a much-ballyhooed matchup of Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions hosting Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams, each QB facing off against his old squad.

What is the NFL Super Wildcard Weekend Schedule? Dates, Start-times
The NFL spreads its Super Wildcard Weekend games across three days. The round starts on Saturday afternoon and ends with a Monday night game. Here is the slated schedule:
Saturday, January 11:
(4) Texans Houstan 32-12 over (5) LA Chargers. The Texans fell behind 6-0 early, but then took over from there to dominate the final three quarters. The Texans defense came up big with four interceptions of Justin Herbert, including a pick six by Eric Murray in the second half. Herbert threw more picks in one playoff game (4) than he threw during the entire regular season (3).
(3) Baltimore Ravens 28-14 (6) Pittsburg Steelers. The Ravens used Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry to streamroll their way to a win over the Steelers on a night where they totaled 299 yards on the ground. Henry rushed for 186 yards and two touchdowns while Jackson added 81 rushing yards. Jackson also threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns in the win. The Ravens jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first half and it was never really close after that.
