After an exhilarating season in NFL, the playoff stage is set. This year’s postseason will lack the presence of Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, yet numerous well-known players will take to the field.
The Eagles are participating in the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year and aim to become the first NFC team in over three decades to defend their Super Bowl title. Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Matthew Stafford are among the few in this year’s playoffs who have previously clinched a Super Bowl victory, while Aaron Rodgers could potentially join them if the Steelers triumph over the Ravens.
Several new teams have emerged in this season’s playoffs, with six squads returning after failing to qualify last year: the Seahawks, 49ers, Panthers, Bears, Patriots, and Jaguars. Among these, the Panthers are entering the playoffs for the first time since 2017, kicking off the postseason with a Saturday afternoon contest.
