The NFL
Playoffs moves into divisional rounds with CBS and FOX airing both games for
the final time (NBC takes over the divisional prime time slot next
season). FOX starts the weekend off with the Saints and the top seeded
Seahawks. These teams met in early December with Seattle routing New
Orleans 34-7. FOX will give the first year tandem of Kevin
Burkhardt and John Lynch the game assignment, the third different team
selected in as many years. CBS will get the prime time game in Foxborough
as the AFC East Champions, the New England Patriots host the Indianapolis
Colts, coming off one of the all-time great come from behind victory in the
Wild Card game. This will be Dan
Dierdorf's final broadcast assignment, as he announced his retirement back
in November.
FOX opens up Sunday's coverage in Charlotte, as the defending NFC Champion the San Francisco 49ers continue their march back to the Super Bowl against the NFC South Champs the Carolina Panthers. The weekend wraps up in Denver as Peyton Manning and the top seeded the Denver Broncos meet their division rivals the San Diego Chargers. San Diego stunning upset of Denver last month was part of their 4 game winning streak that help sneak them into the post season and then knock off the Bengals on Sunday.
CBS will continue to stream the games online free, while FOX game will be available for subscribers.
