Today, NewsRadio WBRN will be airing today's AFC and NFC Championship games on 96.5 FM and 1460 AM.

 

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP - EAGLES vs COMMANDERS

The first game will be the NFC Championship at 3:00 P.M. This game will only be the second time since 2014 to have two teams from the same division and the first time since 1986 for teams specifically in the NFC East. 

The number one seed Philadelphia Eagles, entering the contest 16-3, will host the six-seed Washington Commanders from Lincoln Financial Field. Philadelphia defeated the four-seed Los Angeles Rams last week in a 28-22 barnburner while Washington upset the number one seeded Detroit Lions 45-31 at Ford Field. Here are some keys to the game:

• Washington's run defense against Eagles RB Saquon Barkley and QB Jalen Hurts 
• Philadelphia's pass rush and containment of Commanders QB Jayden Daniels
• Home field advantage (the home team won each of two regular season matchups)

 

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP - CHIEFS vs BILLS

The second game will be the AFC Championship at 6:30 P.M. This game will be the fourth postseason meeting between the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs and the second-seeded Buffalo Bills.

The 16-2 Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans 23-14 in the Divisional round last week while the 15-4 Bills took down the Baltimore Ravens 27-25. Buffalo defeated Kansas City 30-21 in the regular season meeting at home, while the Chiefs beat the Bills 27-24 in the playoffs last year. Here are some keys to the game:

• Bills QB Josh Allen's scrambling against the Chiefs defensive front 
• Chiefs' ability to finish offense drives with touchdowns versus field goals
• Each team limiting third down penalties
