Possibly the wildest Divisional Round in NFL history has come to an end, and fittingly, it was an overtime thriller which wrapped it up.
Three games were ended by walk-off field goal, while the Chiefs pulled one out of the bag with a field goal to send it to OT before scoring the game-winning field goal.
That sees the Chiefs host the Bengals in the AFC Championship game, while the 49ers will take on the Rams in the AFC.
Below is all you need to know about the NFL playoff bracket in 2022, including a complete postseason schedule, TV channels for all the playoff games and scores/results as they come.
