At long last, the NFL Playoffs are here.

While the New England Patriots enjoy a hard-earned bye week, the NFL postseason kicks off on Saturday with a pair of AFC Wild Card games. The Houston Texans (9-7) host the Kansas City Chiefs (11-5) and the Cincinnati Bengals (12-4) host the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6).

Scroll down for live updates on both AFC Wild Card games.

The Patriots and their fans will be watching intently on Saturday as the results will determine which team comes to Gillette Stadium for the divisional round on Jan. 16. The Bengals will book a trip to Foxborough with a win over their AFC North rivals. If the Steelers can win in Cincinnati then the Patriots will face the winner of the matinee matchup between the Texans and Chiefs.
