NFL releases divisional round playoff schedule

There's still one game left in the NFL's 2022 "Super Wild Card Weekend", but the league released its schedule for next weekend's divisional round late on Sunday night.

Of the three matchups that are set, two are rematches from the 2021 regular season. If the Rams were to defeat the Cardinals on Monday, their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be a rematch as well, as Matt Stafford and company defeated Tom Brady and crew back in Week 3.

The 49ers and Packers squared off in Week 3 as well, with visiting Green Bay taking a 30-28 victory on a game-winning field goal by Mason Crosby as time expired. In the win, Aaron Rodgers went 23-for-33 for 261 passing yards and two interceptions, while San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo finished 25-for-40 with 257 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

In Week 5, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen outdueled Kansas City Chiefs signal-caller Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead Stadium in a 38-20 decision. In the contest, Allen went 15-for-26 for 315 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and rushed 11 times for 59 yards and a score, while Mahomes finished 33-for-54 for 272 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding eight carries for 61 yards as well.
