The NFL’s Championship Sunday is locked in, with four potential Super Bowl LX berths on the line. After Sunday’s divisional finales, the AFC and NFC title games will pit the top seeds against the last remaining challengers.

AFC Championship Path

The No. 1 Denver Broncos advanced by edging the No. 6 Buffalo Bills 33-30 in overtime, but they will host the championship game without rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who is injured. Their opponent will be either the No. 2 New England Patriots or the No. 5 Houston Texans, who meet earlier in the divisional round.

NFC Championship Path

In the NFC, the No. 1 Seattle Seahawks cruised past the No. 6 San Francisco 49ers 41-6 to earn home-field advantage. They await the winner of Sunday’s clash between the No. 2 Chicago Bears and the No. 5 Los Angeles Rams.
