After what the NFL termed "Super Wild Card Weekend" brought three playoff matchups to us both Saturday and Sunday, it's back in the more normal swing of NFL postseason with two divisional games Saturday, Jan. 16.
The matchups themselves are still super, though. The Packers host the Rams in the first game, and then the Bills host the Ravens in the nightcap. Each conference championship will know one of its participants by the close of play Saturday night.
In the early game, the matchup could come down to Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams in the passing game going against superstar defensive lineman Aaron Donald and star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The late game will be all about the quarterbacks, with Buffalo's Josh Allen matching up with Baltimore's Lamar Jackson.
Not to make you sad, but starting with Saturday, there are only four days of NFL action left for this season, so don't miss out.

What time are the NFL playoff games today?
Game 1
- Date: Saturday, Jan. 16
- Matchup: Green Bay Packers vs. Los Angeles Rams
- Location: Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin
- Start time: 4:35 p.m. ET
Game 2
- Date: Saturday, Jan. 16
- Matchup: Buffalo Bills vs. Baltimore Ravens
- Location: Bills Stadium in Buffalo, New York
- Start time: 8:15 p.m. ET
The early game will feature the NFC's No. 1 seed Packers coming off a first-round bye against the 6-seed Rams, which upset Russell Wilson and Seattle despite usual backup QB John Wolford starting before departing with a neck injury. That pressed usual starter Jared Goff, who's recovering from a broken right thumb, back into duty. Despite that added adversity, L.A. still handled the Seahawks thanks in large part to a strong defensive performance.
The late game will feature two high-quality rushing quarterbacks who get it done on the ground differently. Buffalo's Josh Allen is a power rusher, while Baltimore's Lamar Jackson jukes defenders out of their cleats. Whichever pass-catching group finds more separation down the field could make the difference in supplementing QB runs. The Bills could have the edge there with league-leading receiver Stefon Diggs in the fold, especially if veteran Cole Beasley can get fully healthy in time for Saturday night.
What channel are Saturday NFL games on?
Packers vs. Rams

Bills vs. Ravens
NBC is the regular season home of "Sunday Night Football," and this Saturday night game will feature the usual SNF crew.
