Open Thread: Saturday's Playoff Action

Coming up today/tonight:

4:30pm ET: Texans at Chiefs

Houston swept aside the Chargers last weekend but their chances on Sunday will depend on whether the Chiefs benefited from the rest or instead come out flat or rusty. The Chiefs haven't played for almost a month having rested their players in week 18 and then sat out last week due to having earned a bye. In addition, their week 17 game was on Christmas Day, which fell on a Wednesday rather than the Sunday.

8:00 pm ET: Commanders at Lions

The Commanders won a bunch of close games in the regular season and kept that magic going with their last second win over the Bucs in the first round of the playoffs. If they can keep this one close too, they may have a chance. However, the Lions didn't rest their starters in week 18, so there's less chance of them coming out rusty than there is with the Chiefs. In addition, it looks like they'll be getting David Montgomery back.

WHO YA GOT?
