Bleacher Report
The Philadelphia Eagles will make an appearance in the NFC Championship Game for the second time in three years.
The Eagles took down the Los Angeles Rams in snowy conditions at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, winning by the final score of 28-22.
The Buffalo Bills defeated the Baltimore Ravens 27-25, as a game-tying two-point conversion attempt failed after Mark Andrews dropped a pass from Lamar Jackson with just under two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Here’s a closer look at the current playoff picture, remaining schedule and Super Bowl odds as the divisional round came to an end.

The Eagles closed out the regular season with the NFL’s second best rushing attack, which helped keep their offense afloat as snow fell throughout Sunday’s divisional round clash.
Philadelphia was led by Saquon Barkley once again, as the three-time Pro Bowl running back picked up 205 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. As a team, the Eagles amassed 285 rushing yards and three scores while averaging 8.4 yards per attempt.
Jalen Hurts wasn’t asked to throw the ball often, but he remained efficient despite getting sacked six times. Hurts finished 15-of-20 for 128 yards.
Philadelphia held a 13-point advantage with just over four minutes left in regulation, but Los Angeles stayed within striking distance by scoring a quick touchdown and forcing the Eagles to punt.
The Rams drove down to Philadelphia’s 13-yard line, but they ultimately turned the ball over on downs and failed to record a potential game-winning score.
With the Eagles’ victory, they’ll host their NFC East rivals after the Washington Commanders defeated the Detroit Lions on Saturday night.
The Bills faced an early 7-0 deficit against the Ravens, but they outscored Baltimore 21-3 during the rest of the first half to hold an 11-point halftime lead.
Buffalo went scoreless in the third quarter, as its offense struggled to sustain drives with snow falling at Highmark Stadium. A pair of field goals by Tyler Bass helped the Bills gain some separation in the fourth, and the Ravens ultimately couldn’t close the gap.
Buffalo will now be making its first AFC Championship Game appearance since the 2020 season, where a familiar opponent awaits.
The Bills and Chiefs will battle in the playoffs for the fourth time in the past five years, with Kansas City previously winning all prior postseason matchups over that span.
