An action-packed Sunday that featured two divisional-round playoff games didn't prevent the NFL from seeing its ratings decline even further.

Only the coordinators who interviewed for head coaching jobs before playoff games know if those conversations with other teams were a distraction. The NFL’s hiring process became a hot topic after the Detroit Lions were knocked out of the playoffs.

In addition, last year’s Chiefs-Bills divisional round playoff game landed 50.4 million viewers. The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch reports that Sunday’s Ravens-Bills game drew around 43 million viewers. Last season, the AFC title between the Chiefs and Ravens, in the early window on CBS, drew 55.5 million viewers.

The divisional round of the NFL playoffs featured the expected (Chiefs advancing) and the unexpected (Jayden Daniels' continued rise). Here's how it all went down this weekend.

Just two teams remain standing in the AFC and will soon square off on Championship Sunday with a trip to Super Bowl LIX on the line. On Saturday, the No. 1 seed Kansas City Chiefs emerged from their first-round bye week and took down the Houston Texans to advance out of the divisional round.

The best week of the NFL playoffs is here, as divisional round football will be played this weekend. Two teams have already punched their ticket to Championship Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs knocked off the Houston Texans and the Washington Commanders stunned the Detroit Lions.

The Carolina Panthers will look to upgrade their defense in free agency. They’ll also look to establish a winning culture. The best way to do both is by adding performers from perennial playoff squads.

Can the Eagles' pass game step up? Will Lamar Jackson ever shake his playoff narrative? Did the Lions blow their best Super Bowl chance?

The Washington Commanders (12-5) go on the road in a playoff matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) at Lincoln Financial Field in the NFC Championship game on Jan. 26, starting at 3 p.m.

Nothing about Saturday's game against the Lions could make Jayden Daniels flinched, and the Commanders' rookie QB delivered a stunning upset win.
