The NFL Divisional Round is set to feature some thrilling matchups, with the Detroit Lions hosting the Washington Commanders on Saturday night. As the NFC`s No. 1 seed, the Lions boast an impressive 15-2 record and are favored to win by more than a touchdown. Coach Dan Campbell has expressed confidence in his team`s performance, acknowledging the ups and downs they have faced throughout the season. The Lions are eager to end their championship drought, which dates back to 1957.

On the other side, the Washington Commanders, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, have surprised many with their resilience, including a recent wild-card victory against Tampa Bay. Daniels has made history as the first rookie to lead his team in both rushing and passing yards during a playoff win. His ability to perform under pressure is notable, as he holds the record for the most comeback wins in the regular season and playoffs when trailing in the fourth quarter since the start of the 1950 season.

In another exciting matchup, the Houston Texans will take on the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs, also with a 15-2 record, are strong favorites, particularly due to Patrick Mahomes` impressive track record in Divisional Round games. Mahomes has never lost in this round, averaging over 300 yards, 16 touchdowns, and no interceptions. The Texans face a daunting challenge, especially considering their history in road playoff games, as they have never advanced past the Divisional Round.

The Baltimore Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson, will clash with the Buffalo Bills in a highly anticipated quarterback duel against Josh Allen. Jackson has excelled against zone coverage, which the Bills utilize frequently. He boasts a passer rating of 119.1 against zone coverage, the highest since 2018, and has averaged 25.2 fantasy points per game this season. This matchup is expected to be a high-scoring affair, with both quarterbacks coming off historic seasons.
