The NFL season is winding down, but before fans get the last Sunday of the regular season, four teams will play in a Saturday doubleheader. Show
The first clash of the day will be an AFC West showdown between the Broncos and the Chiefs, with Kansas City setting its eyes on attempting to win the No. 1 seed in the AFC. It needs both to win on Saturday and for the Titans to lose to the Texans on Sunday. Another divisional matchup will follow in the evening slate with the two playoff-bound teams, the Eagles and Cowboys, playing against one another in a matchup that will go toward deciding the playoff seeding in the NFC. Sporting News has viewers covered with all they need to know to watch the Saturday doubleheader.

NFL Week 18 picks: Straight up | Against the spread What time are Saturday's NFL games on?Here's how to watch each of the Saturday NFL games in Week 18. Chiefs at BroncosThe pressure is all on Kansas City in the first of the two games on Saturday. The Chiefs were in control of their own destiny heading into Week 17 against the Bengals, but a 34-31 loss has put them needing some help to finish as the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Kansas City will now have to beat the Broncos Saturday night and hope the Texans can beat the Titans on Sunday in order to secure that first-round bye and homefield-advantage in the playoffs. Should they lose, the Chiefs could potentially fall all the way down to the No. 4 seed if the Bengals and Bills then win on Sunday. The last time the two faced off, the Chiefs were outgained 404-267 in total yards, but won the matchup 22-9. The Chiefs-Broncos game will have the network's top college football grouping on the broadcast for the matchup, with Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit in the booth and Laura Rutledge reporting from the sidelines. John Parry will be the rules expert for the game. Cowboys at EaglesThe Cowboys are in a similar position to the Chiefs. They had a potential to insert themselves into the conversation for the No. 1 pick though the road was far more challenging for them than Kansas City as they needed the Packers to lose to the Vikings last week. Not only did the Packers win, but the Cowboys lost to the Cardinals, meaning that now the most likely outcome for Dallas is to wind up as the No. 4 seed in the NFC. There is still a chance for it to move up as high as No. 2, but it requires the 49ers to beat the Rams, Seahawks to beat the Cardinals and Panthers to beat the Buccaneers, all along with a Dallas win against Philadelphia. The Eagles, on the other hand, are most likely looking at the No. 7 spot in the bracket, but they too can improve their fortunes with a win. Should they beat the Cowboys, it would take just wins from the Rams and Falcons over the Saints for Philadelphia to jump up to No. 6. The usual ESPN "Monday Night Football" crew will be calling the primetime matchup on Saturday, with Steve Levy, Brian Griese and Louis Riddick in the booth and Lisa Salters reporting from the sidelines. Parry will also be the rules expert for that game.

 And then there were eight. The first round of the NFL playoffs has come to a close, with all the division champions winning their first-round matchups except the Cowboys to set up the divisional round of the playoffs. The next wave of NFL action starts on Saturday, with both the No. 1 seeds returning to action after receiving first-round byes. The Titans will be the first team to kick off, when they face the Bengals in a matchup that will pit the return of star running back Derrick Henry against the dynamic passing offense of Joe Burrow and Cincinnati. The primetime showdown will see Aaron Rodgers and the Packers returning to the field to face off against the 49ers in a rematch of the 2020 NFC Championship Game. Sporting News has you covered with all the information you need to know to watch Saturday's doubleheader, including channel, start time and matchup information.

Game 2
Henry is back for the first time since his Week 8 broken foot injury, and it comes at just the right time for the Titans. Tennessee hosts the Bengals in its first playoff game this season after getting the first-round bye. Despite missing Henry for more than half the season, the Titans still finished the season as the fifth-leading rushing team in the league. They will have to contend with a high powered Bengals offense that has seen Burrow and his variety of weapons, including presumptive Offensive Rookie of the Year Ja'Marr Chase, torch opposing defenses over the past several games. Rodgers and the Packers have struggled to get past the 49ers in the playoffs. Since taking over under center in Green Bay, Rodgers is 0-3 against San Francisco in the playoffs, with the last meeting having come in the 2020 NFC Championship Game that sent the 49ers to the Super Bowl. But this Packers' team is clicking on all cylinders, with Rodgers playing at an MVP level. Over Rodgers' final seven games of the season, he completed 72 percent of his passes for 1,929 yards with 20 touchdowns and no interceptions. How to watch NFL playoff gamesTitans vs. Bengals
