Every story line: from the Chiefs’ quest for a three-peat, to the long-suffering Bills’ and Lions’ fan bases, to the QBs looking to finally break through.

Now that the NFL's regular season has ended, for most football fans, the next big event on their radar is Super Bowl 59.

The NFL playoffs began with five Super Bowl title-less franchises in the field. Now, that number is down to three.

Plus, the Texans kept it tight at Arrowhead in Week 16, falling 27-19 even as they were limping to the finish line. Quarterback C.J. Stroud finished 23-of-39 passing for 244 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in that game.

The NFL playoff bracket is down to eight teams entering divisional round. Who could play in AFC championship game? Who could play in NFC title game?
