Despite playing without a bubble during the fall and winter of an unprecedented pandemic, the NFL has somehow made it to the playoffs. COVID-19 outbreaks on multiple teams caused postponements and shuffled schedules earlier in the season, but the league muddled through. Last week’s opening round of this year’s NFL Playoffs saw the Bills hold off the Colts, the Rams’ stout defense upset the Seahawks?and the Bucs outlast Washington?to kick off Saturday’s edition of Super Wild Card Weekend. Sunday’s fun saw the Ravens take down the Titans, the Saints beat the Bears and the Browns upset the Steelers.?
Saturday’s opening action in the Divisional Round saw the?Packers take down the Rams?in the afternoon game and the?Bills knock off the Ravens?in the nightcap. After the Chiefs held off the Browns to open Sunday’s fun, this round of playoff football concludes with Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints hosting Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It will be the third matchup this season between the NFC South rivals, with the Saints winning the two regular-season games by at least 11 points. Kickoff is set for 6:40 p.m. ET (3:40 p.m. PT) on Fox.?
Here’s how you can watch all the action live without cable.
Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints will look to complete the sweep of their division rivals, the Bucs, and advance to the NFC Championship game.
