The Ravens-Titans matchup features a pair of teams with elite running games. Baltimore broke the NFL's single-season rushing yards record this season; Tennessee's Derrick Henry won the rushing title in 2019 and continued his unstoppable play by gashing the Patriots for 182 yards and a touchdown on Saturday.
The Chiefs-Texans pairing features a delectable matchup between two of the league's premier quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.
The two teams met in Week 6, with Houston earning the 31-24 road victory at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City raced out to a 17-3 lead but Houston battled back and won on a 1-yard scramble by Watson with six minutes left in the game.
The NFC side of the bracket will be determined after Sunday's two wild-card games.
