The days for the divisional round games were set on Sunday. After the Houston Texans muzzled the Pittsburgh Steelers, the times and television networks for the four contests were announced. The San Francisco 49ers have reason to be agitated by the schedule. The Seattle Seahawks had a bye in the first round. The Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams played on Saturday. That seemed logical that the Rams-Bears game would be on Saturday. It didn’t happen. The 49ers will come back on a short week against Seattle. The Rams and Bears get to play on Sunday. In the AFC, the Saturday game has Buffalo at top seed Denver in a rematch of a playoff game from last year in Orchard Park. On Sunday, defense should be the law as the Houston Texans and New England Patriots meet in Foxboro.
