Getty Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs

The San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Tennessee Titans all have just one more game between them and a berth to this year’s Super Bowl.

The best bang for your buck may be downloading the CBS All-Access app. The app is available on Roku and Firestick devices and comes with a free week-long trial upon signing up.

Game Preview:
Derrick Henry has asserted himself within the upper-echelon of NFL running backs over this historic playoff run he’s in the midst of. Henry has averaged 188+ rushing yards per game in the postseason. Henry will be facing off with a Kansas City defense who, over their last three contests, has allowed the eighth fewest rushing yards per game average in football. KC may, however, be down defensive lineman Chris Jones, arguably the best player amongst their front-seven.
If Henry is slowed down today, Tennessee will have to get more out of Ryan Tannehill, who has not topped 88 passing yards in each of his two playoff games this month. Patrick Mahomes, on the other hand, is fresh off a five-touchdown performance in which he tore apart Houston’s secondary.

Game Preview:
This game presents two big-name signal-callers, however, the outcome will likely be determined by the defenses that take the field today. Nick Bosa was superb in his first-ever playoff game, recording two sacks. However, the 49ers defense has had their struggles with dual-threat running backs this season (ie. Christian McCaffrey and Kenyan Drake) and Packers’ Aaron Jones falls right in line with those talents.
On the opposite sideline, the Smith Brothers, who combined for four total sacks a week ago, will look to put pressure on Jimmy G, who recorded just 131 passing yards vs. the Seahawks last week.
