The Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs enter the race for Super Bowl LIX next weekend. The Chiefs in the AFC and the Lions in the NFC sat out the first round of the NFL postseason as the No. 1 seed on its side of the NFL championship tournament.
One game remains in the Wild-Card Weekend: The Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams will square off at 7 p.m. CST Monday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The teams are playing on the Arizona Cardinals’ home field instead of the Rams’ SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, because of the wildfires in southern California.
