The AFC and NFC Championships feature Bills vs. Chiefs and Commanders vs. Eagles, with key players impacting the outcomes.

The NFL playoffs are heating up as the Conference Championship games approach. In the AFC Championship, the Buffalo Bills will clash with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, January 26, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS. This matchup is particularly thrilling due to the fierce rivalry between quarterbacks Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. Notably, the Bills are the only team to have defeated the Chiefs` starters in the past 13 months, setting the stage for a highly competitive game.

Meanwhile, the NFC Championship will see the Washington Commanders take on the Philadelphia Eagles at 3 p.m. ET on the same day, airing on FOX. The Commanders, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, are entering this game with momentum, especially considering the uncertainty surrounding Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts` knee injury. This could be a pivotal factor in determining the outcome of the game.

The winners of these crucial matchups will earn a spot in Super Bowl LIX, scheduled for February 9, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX. The playoff bracket has already showcased intense competition, with the Chiefs defeating the Texans and the Bills overcoming the Ravens in the Divisional Round. In the NFC, the Eagles triumphed over the Rams, while the Commanders pulled off an upset against the Lions.

Several players have made significant strides in the latter half of the season, including Matthew Stafford of the Rams, who minimized turnovers with just two interceptions in the final eight games. Aidan O`Connell of the Las Vegas Raiders improved his performance dramatically, raising his grade from 47.7 to 68.2. Will Levis of the Tennessee Titans also shone, completing 60.8% of his passes for 1,392 yards and eight touchdowns in just seven games. Kevin Dotson of the Rams excelled on the offensive line, achieving an impressive 90.8 grade in the second half of the season.
