NFL Playoff Schedule: Patriots Will Host Divisional Round On January 16
BOSTON (CBS) -- The regular season is a thing of the past and the NFL playoff schedule is set.
The New England Patriots don't play for two weeks, thanks to a first-round bye they earned as the AFC's No. 2 seed. They had a chance at the top seed in the conference, but closing the season with back-to-back losses, mixed with a Denver win over San Diego on Sunday, earned the Broncos that honor.
New England will host either the Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans or Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, January 16 at 4:30 p.m. on CBS.
