NFL playoff field, divisional round weekend schedule: Seahawks to host 49ers, Broncos to host Bills

Wild-card weekend is in the books, and the next round of the NFL playoffs are set.

The Seattle Seahawks secured the top seed in the division, which allowed them to watch wild-card weekend from home. They’ll now get to host the San Francisco 49ers next weekend in the divisional round, a rematch of their Week 18 battle that clinched the NFC West for Seattle. The Chicago Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams in the other NFC game.
