A quartet of AFC teams will participate in the first two games of the 2024 NFL playoffs on Saturday.

The Browns will hit the road for an AFC North vs. AFC South matchup with the Texans. Houston clinched the division title in Week 18 after Jacksonville lost to Tennessee, giving the Texans the higher seed and home-field advantage in this wild card contest.

Later in the evening, the Dolphins will face the Chiefs, who captured the AFC West crown. Kansas City defeated Miami in a Week 9 battle to move to 7-2, but the Chiefs only went 4-4 in the second half of the regular season.
