The weekend will open with what is anticipated to be a shootout between the Andrew Luck-led Indianapolis Colts and Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs. The Colts have won 10 of their last 11 games while the Chiefs dropped two of their last three entering the postseason.
The Dallas Cowboys, who make their training camp home in Oxnard, Calif., will invade the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for a date with the rested Rams.
Philip Rivers will finally get his chance at revenge against the New England Patriots. The veteran quarterback led the Los Angeles Chargers past the Baltimore Ravens and into a divisional-round date with an old nemesis. The Bolts haven't been back to the AFC title game since a 2007 loss to Tom Brady and Co.
Nick Foles' incredible run as the playoff quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles continues. After toppling the Chicago Bears with a late comeback Sunday, the defending Super Bowl champions will next hope to take down the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the New Orleans Saints.
