However, Pittsburgh will be without outside linebacker T.J. Watt, who is dealing with a knee injury. Speaking of win streaks, the Buffalo Bills ran the table down the stretch, winning five straight games to win the AFC East and clinch the No. 2 seed. Originally scheduled for January 14, the game was moved to Monday, January 15 at 4:00 p.m. by New York Governor Kathy Hochul due to dangerous weather conditions as a result of winter storms occurring throughout the country.

Philadelphia now has to hit the road in the Wild Card Round and play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who won their third straight NFC South title. If the Eagles lose to the Bucs, will Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni lose his job?
