Tougher matchups await the Titans and Vikings, but they'll both happily continue on their postseason path along with their fellow wild-card winners, the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks.

Divisional Round Preview

The Vikings scored on the opening drive of overtime to stun the Saints, who clamored for an offensive pass interference on Kyle Rudolph to no avail.

The Vikings' reward is a trip to face San Francisco, which finished 13-3 to earn home-field advantage in the NFC.

In all likelihood, the matchups on the offensive and defensive lines will determine the game. Both the Vikings and 49ers have a quality offense and excellent defense, so whichever blocking unit performs better will secure a vital edge for its team.

The Titans, meanwhile, need a strong effort up front because they prefer to rely on Derrick Henry. While the powerful running back collected 182 yards and a touchdown on 34 carries against the Patriots, Ryan Tannehill attempted just 15 passes.

But will Baltimore continue a season-long trend of building an early lead and forcing its opponent to throw?

The Ravens haven't allowed more than 20 points in 11 straight games. Plus, quarterback Lamar Jackson is the clear MVP front-runner after amassing 3,127 yards passing and 1,206 rushing. He totaled 43 scores while tossing only six interceptions.

Either the Texans or Chiefs will await the Titans or Ravens in the AFC Championship Game.

Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes

Houston eliminated the Buffalo Bills 22-19 in overtime, recovering from a 16-0 deficit to steal a win. And in the regular-season matchup with Kansas City, the Texans put together a 14-point comeback to stun the Chiefs and their home crowd.

Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes are the stars of the show, but a much-improved Kansas City defense is notable.

En route to a 6-4 start, the Chiefs allowed 23.9 points per game. However, they surrendered just 11.5 per game during a six-game winning streak to close the regular season.

Green Bay, meanwhile, enters the playoffs with five consecutive wins. Although it hasn't always been prettythe Packers ranked 17th in yards per play and 19th in yards allowed per snapAaron Rodgers guided his team to a 7-1 home record.

The Seahawks managed a 7-1 mark on the road, though. And following the 17-9 victory at the Philadelphia Eagles, they improved to 11-2 in one-score games this season.

Seattle will present a feisty challenge for Green Bay, which is seeking its first NFC Championship Game appearance since a gut-wrenching loss to the Seahawks five years ago.
