Here’s how you can stream all the NFL playoff games this year
There are few things that unite the human race like storytelling and sports. We love to be entertained. Maybe our love for entertainment stems from it giving us a break from work and the little things we may find irritating. Perhaps it’s because it takes our minds off the inevitable – the fact that we will all return to nothingness. (Of course, there are shows and movies that remind us of our shared existential dread) but sports don’t!
The NFL playoff games persist with four divisional round matchups over the weekend. It included Sunday games featuring last year’s Super Bowl teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The NFL playoff games are known for utilizing a single-game elimination strategy, thus every loss indicates the end of a team’s season. The team with the superior regular-season record gets home-field advantage amid the divisional round.
The Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers earned byes in the first round after winning the top records in the NFC and AFC, respectively. The rest of the NFL playoff games are expected to be broadcast on CBS, NBC, and Fox. Looking to stream the NFL playoff games this year? Join us! We’ve gathered the latest details.

People would much rather stream their entertainment because it’s often cheaper.
