NFL Playoffs Start with Two-Game Saturday Slate
It’s time for the NFL playoffs. The road to the Super Bowl officially begins in Santa Clara, Calif., this afternoon as the 49ers host the Seahawks. Following that game comes the gem of today’s sports slate: the Chargers traveling to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars. There’s also plenty of hoops to keep track of today, too.
Here’s what I’m watching.

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Two of the NFL’s most exciting young QBs will make their first playoff starts as they lead their teams into this one. Chargers signal-caller Justin Herbert finally has his pass-catching weapons back, while Trevor Lawrence has led his squad on a five-game tear to finish the season and grab the AFC South crown. The difference in this one could be which defense can get pressure and force a rare mistake from either Herbert or Lawrence.
