    Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones and a number of other starters have not played since Christmas Day as the Chifs opted to rest them for the final game of the regular season.

    Then followed last week's bye, so there's a chance for a lot of rest and injuries to heal, but will they suffer from any ring rust after so long out of action?

    Head coach Andy Reid has a great record after a bye week and they have done the same plan and won a Super Bowl before so you would think they will be ready. Let's see how they start.

    Hello again gridiron gang!

    Welcome to the NFL Divisional Round - which some say is the best weekend of the year with four games containing the eight best teams in the league so there's quality AND quantity.

    We've got Josh Allen v Lamar Jackson tomorrow, but today we've got the two number one seeds entering the fray with the double defending champions Kansas City up first against the Houston Texans.

    Then it's exciting rookie Jayden Daniels and his 'Cardiac Commanders' facing the offensive juggernaut that is the Detroit Lions in their own back yard.

    So sit tight, because this should be quite a ride!
