A new rivalry is born on the same day as an old one is rekindled.

Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars continue streaking into Kansas City. Jacksonville has won six in a row and will take on the equally hot Chiefs, who were only slowed down by a first-round bye. 

This marks just the second meeting between Lawrence and Patrick Mahomes: The pair met for the first time on an NFL field in Week 10, with Mahomes outgunning Lawrence and the Jags, 27-17. Now, the stakes couldn't be higher.

The same can be said about the third meeting between the Giants and Eagles this year. Philly swept the regular-season series, but weird things happen when teams meet for a third time. Plus, with Jalen Hurts' injury and Daniel Jones' arrival, things could get interesting for the upstart Giants.

Saturday night's all right for football. Here's how to catch today's NFL games:

What time are the NFL playoff games today?

Kansas City Chiefs (1) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (4)

  • Location: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Mo.
  • Start time: 4:30 p.m. ET (3:30 p.m. CT)

The Chiefs, winners of five straight heading into the playoffs, are coming off a first-round bye to take on the Jaguars, winners of six straight. This marks the second meeting between Patrick Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence, the first their 2022 Week 10 matchup. 

Philadelphia Eagles (1) vs. New York Giants (6)
