The N.F.L.’s divisional round, with its late-game comebacks and upsets, more than made up for the lack of thrill during last week’s wild-card round.
In Sunday’s games, Matthew Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams overcame a late-game surge by Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win, 30-27, and clinch a spot in the N.F.C. championship game. They will host the San Francisco 49ers, who downed Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.
In the back-and-forth late game on Sunday, Kansas City topped the Buffalo Bills in overtime in a high-scoring battle at Arrowhead Stadium.
