Rematches from two blowout games this season will occur in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.
Baltimore's decisive victory over the inexperienced Indianapolis Colts Sunday sets up a 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff Saturday, Jan. 12 at Denver for the rematch of a game earlier this season in which the Broncos routed the Ravens 34-17 in Week 15.
On the other side of the bracket, the Houston Texans will return to the scene of the crime, Gillette Stadium, for a rematch against the Patriots. That game, a 42-14 Patriots blowout, came in Week 14. The Patriots and Texans will kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET Sunday, Jan. 13.
Seattle's 14-point comeback win over Washington puts them in Atlanta for their NFC Divisional round game, scheduled for 1 p.m. ET Sunday. Green Bay, fresh off a 24-10 whipping of Minnesota, will head to No. 2 seed San Francisco for an 8 p.m. kickoff Saturday.
Interestingly, the final four in the AFC have all played each other this season. New England and Houston are 2-1 in round robin play, while Baltimore and Denver are 1-2.
