The NFL playoffs are finally here.

The league officially wrapped up its regular season on Sunday night with the Detroit Lions' commanding 31-9 win over the Minnesota Vikings. That gave the Lions the top seed and the bye in the NFC, and dropped the Vikings to the No. 5 seed. They'll now have to travel to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Southern California to open the playoffs.

The Kansas City Chiefs earned the top seed in the AFC as they attempt to win a third straight Super Bowl. The Buffalo Bills hold the second seed, and will take on the Denver Broncos — who snuck into the postseason with a win on Sunday — in the opening round. Amazon Prime Video will get a playoff game, too. The streaming service will have the Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens game on Saturday night.

Here's everything you need to know entering the 2025 NFL playoffs and the first weekend of the postseason.
