Divisional playoffs: How to watch Texans at Chiefs, Commanders at Lions

Can Chiefs keep hopes of three-peat alive?

The Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL Playoffs begins with a doubleheader on Saturday. Here is how to watch, listen, stream and wager on the games.

Houston Texans (11-7 – No. 4) at Kansas City Chiefs (15-2 – No. 1)

The Chiefs open their bid to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. The Chiefs have won seven consecutive postseason games and can join the New England Patriots (10 consecutive postseason wins from 2002-06) and Green Bay Packers (nine from 1961-68) as the only teams all-time to win eight consecutive playoff games.

The Chiefs have at least one postseason win in each of the past six seasons with head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The only team, head coach and quarterback to register at least one postseason victory in seven consecutive seasons were the 2011-18 Patriots (eight consecutive seasons), with head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.

The Chiefs defeated the Texans, 27-19, in Week 16 in Kansas City and were 8-0 at home during the regular season.

The Texans can advance to the Conference Championship Game for the first time in franchise history with a victory.

Washington rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had 304 yards (268 passing, 36 rushing), two touchdown passes, no interceptions and a 110.2 passer rating in the Wild Card round and became the fourth rookie quarterback all-time to win his first career playoff start on the road.

Detroit earned the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the first time in team history with a franchise-record 15 wins during the regular season and looks to win a postseason game in consecutive seasons for the second time in franchise history (1952-53). The Lions led the NFL in scoring offense (33.2 points per game) and ranked second in total offense (409.5 yards per game) during the regular season.
