Well, everyone, it’s here. The NFL playoffs are finally here. Although it means the NFL season is sadly almost over, it also means we get to see the best of the best go toe-to-toe with one another for a chance to take home the Lombardi Trophy.
With the bracket and schedule both set, the playoffs kick off this Saturday when the Derek Carr-less Oakland Raiders travel to Houston to take on the Texans in what could be possibly the worst playoff game of all time. We get to see the return of Brock Osweiler, aka The Brocketship, for the Texans, take on whoever the Raiders are putting out there at quarterback. Should be a classic 7-3 barnburner! Take a look below at the rest of the schedule for the playoffs, with some much more exciting games to come.
