Four teams meet this weekend to decide who will go to the Super Bowl. In Kansas City, the Titans and the Chiefs go head to head. If Tennessee wins, it will become the third no. 6 seed to reach the Super Bowl since the NFL expanded the playoffs to include 12 teams in 1990. In the Bay, the 49ers and Packers will play each other in a rematch of their Week 12 game, in which San Francisco crushed Green Bay 37-8. The Ringer has all the action covered, so stay tuned for updates, analysis, and highlights from our staff.
