Chiefs and Eagles advance to Conference Championships, with standout performances from Chris Jones and Darius Slay.

Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles have secured their spots in the upcoming Conference Championship games following intense Divisional Round matchups. The Chiefs triumphed over the Houston Texans with a score of 23-14, showcasing a stellar performance from defensive standout Chris Jones. Jones recorded four tackles, including a sack on Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, and earned the No. 2 defensive grade for Kansas City from Pro Football Focus.

In the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles narrowly defeated the Los Angeles Rams 28-22. Darius Slay played a crucial role for the Eagles, tying for the team lead with six tackles and defending three passes. Meanwhile, Denico Autry of the Texans made his mark with a quarterback hurry, achieving the highest pressure grade in the playoffs for the Texans at 79.1.

Looking ahead, the AFC Championship will see the Kansas City Chiefs host the Buffalo Bills on January 26, 2025. Bills quarterback Josh Allen is projected to surpass 229.5 passing yards, building on his previous performance against the Chiefs where he completed 67.5% of his passes for 262 yards and a touchdown.

In the NFC Championship, the Philadelphia Eagles will face off against the Washington Commanders on the same day. The AI PickBot forecasts that A.J. Brown of the Eagles may struggle to exceed 60.5 receiving yards, given his limited role in the passing game during the playoffs and the Commanders` defensive focus on stopping the run, which could lead the Eagles to lean more on Saquon Barkley.

The NFL Playoff Bracket is set, with the Conference Championship games poised to determine the teams that will advance to Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025. For more details, check out the Divisional Round update and the AFC/NFC Championship picks.
