Win here, and a place in the Conference Championships is yours, and the Super Bowl dream stays alive. Lose, and not only is the hope of lifting the Vince Lombardi trophy over for another year, but you also fall behind the losers of the Wild Card round in the 2026 NFL Draft order.

Here's a quick round-up of how each of the four Divisional games is unfolding this weekend.
