And for the second consecutive year, the Green Bay Packers are part of it. They're beginning the playoffs the same way they began the regular season: with a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3).
The Packers (11-6) head to Lincoln Financial Field looking for a fresh start after stumbling down the stretch and to the seventh seed in the NFC standings.
Here's a Packers-Eagles update and more on the NFL playoff schedule:
The Packers-Eagles matchup is the second of three wild-card games Sunday. It will follow the Denver Broncos-Buffalo Bills playoff game that kicks off the day.
TV channel: Fox (Channel 6 in Milwaukee, Channel 11 in Green Bay)
The NFC wild-card game between the Packers and Eagles will broadcast nationally on Fox. Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play) and Tom Brady (analyst) will call the game from the booth at Lincoln Financial Field, with Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi reporting from the sidelines.
You can stream the game on the Fox Sports app through your television or streaming carrier. Also, FUBO has a free trial for new subscribers.
