The NFL regular season is done and the road to Super Bowl 60 is under way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> are back in the playoffs with hopes of raising the trophy again, but this will be the first NFL postseason since 2014 without the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That opens the door for a potential new champion in 2026. The Denver Broncos<\/a> and Seattle Seahawks<\/a> enter the playoffs as the top seeds but they will have plenty of competition from experienced sides and upstarts alike.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s everything you need to know to watch all the gridiron action on the way to the final.\u00a0<\/p>\n
