Highlights, score as NFC take down AFC
The 2025 NFL Pro Bowl was a series of competitions spread out across several days. On Sunday, things came to a close with the main dish, a flag football faceoff between the best in the AFC and NFC.
Festivities played out from Orlando, Florida at the Camping World Stadium. Sunday afternoon offered more skills events, including the punt perfect, great football race and tug-of-war.
We then got a look at the best and brightest in the game facing off sans pads in a seven-on-seven showdown. The flag football spotlight brought together names like Jared Goff, Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, giving the fans some fodder ahead of next week’s Super Bowl.
All in all, the NFC walked away with a commanding victory over the AFC giving head coach Eli Manning his third straight victory over his brother Peyton.
Here is a full recap, plus highlights from the event.
NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more.
Byron Murphy, Jared Goff win MVP
After a commanding win from the NFC, Byron Murphy, who secured a pivotal pick-6 at the start of the fourth quarter was named Defensive MVP. Meanwhile, Jared Goff, who quarterbacked the NFC to a huge lead in the first two quarters was named Offensive MVP.
FINAL: NFC 76, AFC 63
The score was closer than the game was. The NFC was in total control from the get-go, recording numerous touchdown drives and big plays on defense that the AFC just could not keep up with.
Eli Manning is now 3-0 against his brother as coaches in the Pro Bowl. Surely, Peyton Manning is fuming at the thought.
JSN throws a pick-6
It was about time the AFC got one of their own. With so little time left in the contest, the NFC started getting cute with the ball, opting to put Seahawks’ receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba at quarterback. On his very first play, he threw a pick-6, which was called back due to an “illegal blitz.” Even the announcers were unsure why it was called back. Ball don’t lie though, as two plays later, JSN would throw another pick-6, a legitimate one this time.
The NFC still leads by 13 points, but they did give Eli Manning a Gatorade shower, so that would be a shame if it wound up being premature.
AFC breaks out the double-pass for the touchdown
The game may be all but over, but the AFC still has some tricks up their sleeves. A double pass from Russell Wilson handing off to Ja’Marr Chase, who threw the ball back to Wilson, who then found Joe Mixon down the field wound up in the end zone.
The announcers said it best when they uttered, “Where has this been all game?” If the AFC had been this creative all along, they might have had a chance against this NFC squad.
NFC 76, AFC 51
Blink and you’ll miss it, the NFC scored another quick touchdown drive yet again. This time, it was the other NFC West tight end, Trey McBride coming away with the score.
NFC 70, AFC 51
Too little, too late. Russell Wilson is known for his deep ball, and he showed it off with a proper “heave-ho” to Ja’Marr Chase to find the end zone following the Malik Nabers touchdown. As stated earlier, the AFC has had numerous big plays, but each big play is matched by a pick-six or an NFC touchdown drive.
Baker Mayfield leads another quick touchdown drive
The NFC got their own big play from an NFC receiver on the ensuing drive, with Malik Nabers making a masterful catch in traffic followed by a touchdown grab two plays later. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has now been on the field for five plays and has recorded two touchdown passes for the NFC.
It’s 70-45, NFC on top with less than eight minutes to go.
AFC answers back, but it might be too late
After Maye’s second pick-6, the AFC turned back to Russell Wilson, who led a quick touchdown drive thanks in large part to a big reception by Brian Thomas Jr. If the game was not already a four-score affair, this may have been a masterful coaching decision from Peyton Manning. Unfortunately, this game feels all but secured for the NFC.
Byron Murphy with a dagger pick-6
At the end of the third quarter, AFC head coach Peyton Manning said “Win the tug of war and we’re back in it.” The AFC not only lost the tug of war competition, but the first play of the fourth quarter saw the NFC pick off quarterback Drake Maye and run it back for a touchdown.
In the span of a minute and a half of actual game time, the NFC went from a nine-point lead to a 25-point lead, and that may be too much for even the AFC Pro Bowlers to overcome.
NFC dominates tug of war competition
It didn’t take long for the NFC to put their AFC counterparts in the foam pit in the first round. In fact, it may have taken less than 15 seconds. The second round wasn’t any better, which was to be expected with the NFC outweighing the AFC by over 100 pounds.
In all fairness, the AFC put up a better fight in the second round, but a push from Nick Bosa and company put the AFC in the foam once again. That win gave the NFC three more points. It will take a monster fourth quarter for the AFC to win. It’s 58-39.
Is Baker Mayfield the Tom Brady of flag football?
With very little time left in the third quarter, the NFC turned to 2024 Pro Bowl MVP Baker Mayfield and he didn’t disappoint. The Bucs’ quarterback led a two-play drive capped off with a touchdown pass to George Kittle to end the third quarter.
Just when you thought the AFC was getting something going, the NFC finds a way to shut it down. 55-39, NFC out in front.
AFC mounting a comeback?
After a four-and-out from the NFC, Drake Maye and company answered back with a two-play touchdown drive capped off by a 25-yard touchdown pass to Brian Thomas Jr. All of a sudden, the AFC is back within nine points after the two-point conversion to Jonnu Smith was also successful. It’s 48-39.
Drake Maye to Ja’Marr Chase touchdown
After a season of throwing to Kayshon Boutte and Ja’Lynn Polk, Drake Maye was jumping for joy after a long touchdown to Ja’Marr Chase at the Pro Bowl.
While the AFC has had a number of big plays, the NFC has been able to answer at every turn. There’s still a long ways to climb if the AFC wants to come back. It’s 48-31.
Budda Baker pick-six
The AFC just can’t catch a break. On a 4th down, Patriots’ quarterback Drake Maye couldn’t handle the pressure applied by Cowboys’ returner Kavontae Turpin, tossing a hitch route that was jumped by Cardinals’ safety Budda Baker. Without an offensive line to stop him and no DK Metcalf to chase him down, there was nothing but green grass in front of Baker from the moment he caught the ball.
The NFC has nearly doubled the AFC’s point total. They’re up 48-25.
NFC wins team obstacle course
Each team has traded wins at events. Micah Parsons made up for his lackluster Madden performance with a terrific start to the team obstacle course. The early lead provided by Parsons gave the NFC all the leeway they needed to secure the victory. We’ve still got two quarters to go plus a tug-of-war showdown, but the NFC has a very comfortable 42-25 lead.
Madden competition grants AFC three more points
In the history of the Pro Bowl Madden competition, the AFC had never won, but the team of Derwin James and Brian Thomas Jr. was able to take down the NFC’s pair of Micah Parsons and Justin Jefferson to earn the AFC three additional points heading into the second half. It’s 39-25 with the NFC out in front.
End of 2nd: 39-22, NFC leads
Although the AFC gave a valiant effort, pushing the ball far down the field in very little time, their backyard lateral play to end the quarter did not pan out. A backward pass from Brian Thomas Jr. would end up hitting the ground, rendering the play dead.
It was NFC coach Eli Manning who wound up pointing out the violation, securing the NFC’s 17-point lead moving forward.
Justin Jefferson scores again
After the AFC got the best of their defense, Sam Darnold was able to find his usual target, JJettas, for another score and another griddy, leaving the AFC with very little time in the second to close the gap. It’s 39-22, NFC.
AFC answers back
After a failed drive, the AFC answered back with a long drive that resulted in a touchdown for Jaguars’ rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. The AFC still trails but the team was ecstatic to get points on the board, with the team jumping into the foam pit in celebration, mimicking the NFC’s celebration after a pivotal interception earlier in today’s contest.
The AFC would fail their one-point conversion. It’s 33-22, NFC leading.
NFC 33, AFC 16
The NFC wasted no time making up for the AFC’s victory in the punt-off. Quarterback Jared Goff found Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a drag route, who weaved and bobbed between every AFC defender for a long touchdown. Although the NFC was unable to get the extra point on the fade to Mike Evans, the NFC’s defense came up big preventing Russell Wilson from leading his own touchdown drive.
Punting competition goes into sudden death
Who didn’t want the punting competition to go into extra rounds? The AFC representatives – Marlon Humphrey and Logan Cooke – matched the NFC representatives – Kyle Juszczyk and Jack Fox – step for step. The non-punters each recorded six points while the punters themselves hit seven each.
In overtime, each punter was given 30 seconds to sink as many balls as possible. Fox went first and drilled 3 punts, while Cooke lipped out each of his first three punts for the AFC. Cooke went off at the end though, hitting a buzzer-beater to tie Fox’s three points.
The punters then went into sudden death, arguably the most dramatic moment any punter has ever experienced in their football careers. Punt for punt to determine the winner. Cooke and Fox each missed their first punts. They each missed their second punts. Clearly, the pressure was getting to them.
It wasn’t until the third round when Cooke would nail his first punt. Fox was unable to match, with his punt banging off the back of the target bins, giving the AFC the win and earning them three points.
NFC 27, AFC 16.
NFC marches down the field to keep momentum: NFC 27, AFC 13
Goff led a ho-hum march down the field highlighted by a nice completion to Justin Jefferson. Staring at a fourth and goal, the Lions QB finds Malik Nabers treating across the middle for a touchdown.
Burrow finds Chase: NFC 20, AFC 13
Some familiar sites as Joe Burrow finds target Ja’Marr Chase for a touchdown. On the point-after, Burrow decided to run in the no-run zone. So, the AFC has to settle for six after the AFC couldn’t convert after the penalty was assessed.
Goff leads NFC score touchdown: NFC 20, AFC 7
The NFC wasted little time widening the gap here. The Lions’ Jared Goff gets a nice TD toss to Kyle Juszcyk from 10 yards out.
The NFC starts the game with a 14-7 lead
After Thursday’s skills events, the NFC has a cushion to start the flag football proceedings.

Jared Goff helps NFC take Pro Bowl Games lead
-
Michael DiRocco
ORLANDO, Fla. — With the Super Bowl just over a week away, the possibility of the Kansas City Chiefs becoming the first team in NFL history to three-peat by beating the Philadelphia Eagles is a huge storyline, but Eli Manning is trying to steal that thunder this weekend.
Manning is the NFC coach at the Pro Bowl Games, and he’s trying to score his own three-peat over his brother, Peyton, who coaches the AFC. Eli is in good position to accomplish his goal after the NFC took a 14-7 lead Thursday night at the skills challenge.
“The heart, the preparation, the commitment of these guys, they’ve been grinding,” Eli said after the skills event at the University of Central Florida’s Nicholson Fieldhouse. “They’re looking forward to this. They want the three-peat.
“Everybody’s been talking about the Kansas City three-peat, but really, all eyes are on the Pro Bowl for the NFC three-peat right now.”
The NFC won the first two events to take a 6-0 lead, with Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff putting up 44 points in the passing competition and Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson, Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride and Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson winning the Satisfying Catches competition.
“We feel good,” Jefferson said. “They tried to cheat us a little bit, but we didn’t trip on it and still got the dub.”
The New York Jets’ Quinnen Williams finally got the AFC on the board by winning the Big Spike competition to cut the NFC’s lead to 6-3.

The NFC won the Helmet Harmony competition in which teammates tried to match answers to put the NFC up 9-3. The NFC won two of the three relay races to take an 11-4 lead, and the highlight of that event was the Bosa brothers — Joey from the Los Angeles Chargers and Nick from the San Francisco 49ers — speedwalking the first leg of their heat because Joey Bosa said he felt tight before the race began.
The NFC and AFC split dodgeball games, and each earned three points.
The competition concludes Sunday (3 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN) with three more events as well as the flag football game.
In a thrilling display of skill and talent, Jared Goff led the NFC to a commanding lead in the Pro Bowl Games. The star quarterback showcased his precision passing and strategic decision-making, guiding his team to victory over the AFC.Goff’s leadership on the field was undeniable, as he connected with his teammates for multiple touchdowns and crucial plays throughout the game. His performance was a testament to his dedication and hard work, solidifying his reputation as one of the top quarterbacks in the league.
With Goff at the helm, the NFC team demonstrated their dominance and determination to come out on top in the Pro Bowl Games. Fans and analysts alike were impressed by Goff’s performance, recognizing his impact on the outcome of the game.
As the Pro Bowl Games continue, all eyes will be on Jared Goff and his team as they look to maintain their lead and secure the victory. Stay tuned for more exciting moments and standout performances from Goff and the rest of the NFC squad.

Tom Brady and Gronk Hooked Up One Last Time Ahead of NFC Championship on FOX
Tom Brady, Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski were all in Philadelphia on Sunday to cover the NFC championship game for FOX. Before Brady ascended to the booth to call the game with Kevin Burkhardt, he reunited with his former teammates on the sideline during the FOX NFL Sunday pregame show.
The three retired New England Patriots discussed their experiences, but eventually the rest of the FOX NFL Sunday crew joined them, leading to an charming moment of guys being dudes. First, Charles Woodson knocked a football out of Brady’s hands and referenced the Tuck Rule yelling, “he fumbled again!” Woodson was the one who stripped Brady on the infamous play.
Then, Michael Strahan, who helped the New York Giants beat Brady and the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, tried to pick up the ball only for Brady to wrap his arms around him giving Gronk time to dive on the football.

— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) January 26, 2025
At that point all bets were off. Terry Bradshaw got a hold of the football and got down to snap it to Brady. Brady started barking instructions and Gronk went out on a route. Brady fired the ball right over a cameraman’s head and hit Gronk in stride out on the field.

Folks, he’s still got it. And so does Gronk. While the sight might have brought a tear to the eyes of Patriots fans, you have to wonder how Raiders fans felt watching this. If there’s a rule that says a quarterback can’t own a team and call games for a broadcast partner, the NFL probably wouldn’t enforce it, right?
In a stunning turn of events, Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski reunited one last time before the NFC Championship game on FOX. The dynamic duo, who won multiple Super Bowls together with the New England Patriots, shared a special moment on the field as they prepared to face off against the Green Bay Packers.Brady and Gronk’s connection on the field is undeniable, and their chemistry was on full display during their pre-game warmup. As they ran routes and caught passes from each other, it was clear that their bond was as strong as ever.
Fans couldn’t help but feel nostalgic watching Brady and Gronk back together again, especially knowing that this could be their last game together. The NFC Championship matchup on FOX was sure to be an emotional one for both players and fans alike.
As they took the field for the game, Brady and Gronk knew that they had one last chance to prove themselves as one of the greatest quarterback-tight end duos in NFL history. And with the whole world watching on FOX, they were determined to leave it all on the field and secure a spot in the Super Bowl.
In the end, Brady and Gronk’s reunion proved to be a winning combination, as they led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a thrilling victory over the Packers. Their performance on the field was nothing short of spectacular, and it was a fitting end to their legendary partnership.
As they celebrated their NFC Championship win, Brady and Gronk knew that they had achieved something truly special. And as they looked ahead to the Super Bowl, they were determined to make the most of their final opportunity to play together on the biggest stage in football.
But no matter what the future holds for Brady and Gronk, one thing is for certain: their connection on the field will always be remembered as one of the greatest in NFL history. And as they basked in the glow of victory, fans everywhere couldn’t help but feel grateful for one last magical moment between two of the game’s greatest players.

Actor Matthew McConaughey showed off his lifelong Washington Redskins fandom on Sunday as the team, now known as the Commanders, got set to play in the NFC Championship.
McConaughey posted a photo of a tiny letterman jacket with the Redskins logo on the left side.

“Hailing since 1974,” he captioned the post on X.
While it appeared to surprise fans of the “Interstellar” star that he would be a fan of Washington, McConaughey talked about his support for the NFL team in 2014.
He told GQ magazine he became a fan because of old Western movies. He said he “rooted for the Indians” and that because he liked hamburgers, he liked the Redskins because of their linebacker Chris Hanburger.
At the time, he also expressed support for keeping the Redskins nickname. Then-team owner Daniel Snyder had vowed not to change the name but did in 2020 amid a summer of racial tension in the U.S.

“What interests me is how quickly it got pushed into the social consciousness,” he told the magazine at the time. “We were all fine with it since the 1930s, and all of a sudden we go, ‘No, gotta change it?’ It seems like when the first levee breaks, everybody gets on board. I know a lot of Native Americans don’t have a problem with it, but they’re not going to say, ‘No, we really want the name.’ That’s not how they’re going to use their pulpit.
“It’s like my feeling about gun control: ‘I get it. You have the right to have guns. But look, let’s forget that right. Let’s forget the pleasure you get safely on your range, because it’s in the wrong hands in other places.’”
The Redskins name is still a hot-button issue for fans of the franchise. It appeared the old logo will be honored in some way as the franchise looks to build a new stadium on the old RFK site.

The NFC landscape is shifting as Lions rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold expresses confidence in becoming the top cornerback in the league following a promising first year. Despite a disappointing playoff exit, Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp reassures fans of their determination to pursue a Super Bowl title. Meanwhile, Packers‘ Javon Bullard boasts about building a formidable defense, backed by praise for defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley’s contributions in his first year with the team.
By the Numbers
- Lions finished the season with a record-setting performance but fell short in the playoffs (45-31 loss to Commanders).
- Packers’ defense is aiming for significant improvement in 2025, with strong buy-in from rookies and veterans alike.
State of Play
- Lions reflect on a season of success despite playoff disappointment.
- Packers show confidence in their revamped defense under Jeff Hafley, who garnered commendations for his coaching efforts.
What’s Next
As both teams look ahead, the Lions aim to refine their roster for a stronger playoff push next year, while the Packers will continue building their defense to enhance competitiveness in the 2025 season.
Bottom Line
The Lions and Packers are setting ambitious goals, with the Lions focused on overcoming past playoff failures and the Packers looking to solidify their defense to pose a greater threat in upcoming seasons. Both teams show promising foundations for future success.
The NFC is shaping up to be a highly competitive conference this season, with the Detroit Lions eyeing a potential Super Bowl run and the Green Bay Packers building a dangerous defense.The Lions have been on a hot streak lately, winning five of their last six games and holding the top spot in the NFC North. Led by quarterback Matthew Stafford and a dynamic offense, the Lions have shown they have what it takes to make a deep playoff run. With playmakers like wide receiver Kenny Golladay and running back D’Andre Swift, the Lions have the firepower to go toe-to-toe with any team in the league.
On the other hand, the Packers have been quietly building a formidable defense under new defensive coordinator Joe Barry. With playmakers like cornerback Jaire Alexander and linebacker De’Vondre Campbell leading the way, the Packers have improved dramatically on the defensive side of the ball. This newfound defensive prowess, combined with the stellar play of quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams, makes the Packers a force to be reckoned with in the NFC.
As the season progresses, it will be exciting to see how these two teams continue to develop and compete in the highly competitive NFC. Could we see a Lions-Packers showdown in the NFC Championship game? Only time will tell.

Jason Kelce Says He’s Trying to Attend Both AFC, NFC Conference Games
Jason Kelce ; Inset: Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce Ric Tapia/Getty Images ; Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesJason Kelce is stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to deciding which NFL conference championship to attend.
“This is something that I’m still trying to figure out,” Kelce, 37, said on the Saturday, January 26, episode of ESPN’s They Call It Late Night. “I’m working [for ESPN] at the tailgate for the Birds game, which I’m excited about. Initially, they were gonna make me go up to Bristol, but then they were like, ‘Do you just want to stay down there and be a reporter on the scene?’ I’m really fired up to be there.”
The Philadelphia Eagles, the team Jason previously played for until his 2024 retirement, will face the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship on Sunday, January 26. Several hours later, the AFC title game will take place between Jason’s brother Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills.
“I want to be there for [the Eagles game], but also I’m kind of torn,” Jason explained. “I want to be there for the Eagles, but I also want to be there for my brother. I don’t know how many more he has. We’re flying by the seat of our pants!”
Travis Kelce still isn’t over Jason Kelce‘s NFL retirement, just like Us. The brothers shared an emotional moment during the Wednesday, March 6, episode of their “New Heights” podcast while reflecting on Jason’s retirement press conference, which took place one day before they recorded the podcast. Travis, 34, revealed that the twosome hadn’t spoken at […]
According to Jason, he might “be able to see both” depending on potential travel plans.
Travis, 35, has faced retirement speculation throughout the 2024-2025 season — but frequently shuts it down. In multiple press conferences, Travis has made it clear that he still enjoys getting out on the football field each week and stressed that he is focused on sharing the latest title game milestones with his teammates.
“Don’t let the lights blind you,” the tight end said in a Friday, January 24, press conference of his advice for Chiefs rookies. “It’s a big moment you’re going into. Hype it up yourself because you’ve been dreaming about moments like these. The biggest thing is that you’re good enough [and] you don’t got to be anybody that you’re not. You don’t got to force yourself to be greater than who you are.”
Travis added, “We work our tails off to be exactly who we are and it’s now time to go out there, have fun and just cut it loose. Don’t let the lights shorten your steps or stutter your feet.”
The winners of the respective title games will face off in the 2025 Super Bowl next month. If the Chiefs beat the Bills on Sunday, they will have the opportunity to become the first NFL team in history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. The No. 1-seeded football team won back-to-back Super Bowl championships in 2023 and 2024.
Travis, who won his first NFL championship in 2020, isn’t focused on potentially shattering records just yet.
“I haven’t heard anybody talk about anything ‘three-peat’ [or] anything like that,” he said in an ESPN interview earlier this month. “Anybody can get beat in the playoffs if you don’t come in with the right mentality and the right mindset dating back to training camp and throughout the season.”
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce recently made headlines when he revealed his ambitious plan to attend both the AFC and NFC Conference Championship games this weekend. Kelce, who is known for his energetic personality and love of football, said he wants to soak in the atmosphere and support his fellow players.In an interview, Kelce stated, “I’m a football fan first and foremost, so I want to see as much of the action as possible. Plus, I have friends on both teams competing in the AFC and NFC Championships, so I want to show my support for them.”
Kelce’s plan to attend both games is no small feat, as they are being held in different cities on the same day. However, Kelce is determined to make it work and is currently figuring out logistics to ensure he can watch both games live.
Fans and teammates alike are excited to see Kelce’s dedication to the game and his teammates. With his infectious enthusiasm and love for football, there’s no doubt that Kelce will bring his signature energy to both conference games this weekend.

How to watch Eagles vs. Commanders, Chiefs vs. Bills in NFC, AFC title games of NFL playoffs
We’re officially down to four teams. After an exhilarating divisional round of the NFL postseason last weekend, the NFC and AFC Championship games are set.
In the first matchup, division rivals go head-to-head as NFC East champion Philadelphia takes on Washington. The Eagles are led by the league’s best defense, holding opponents to just 17.6 points per game. Will that dominance continue against Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, arguably the best rookie in NFL history?
The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Buffalo Bills in a game featuring two elite quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Mahomes owns a 3-0 postseason record against his counterpart. Could this be the year Allen breaks through and takes Buffalo to the Big Game for the first time since 1994?
All of that will be answered Sunday in the NFC and AFC Championships.
Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles

2025 NFC, AFC Championship Games, NFL promos: How to pick DraftKings Sportsbook King of the End Zone promotion
The 2025 NFL playoff bracket has been whittled down to four teams, setting up two conference championship games on Sunday. No. 2 seed Philadelphia hosts No. 6 seed Washington in the 2025 NFC Championship Games at 3 p.m. ET, with the Eagles favored by six points in the latest NFL odds and an over-under of 47. That game is followed by the 2025 AFC Championship between No. 1 seed Kansas City (-2, 48.5) and No. 2 seed Buffalo at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. Bills safety Taylor Rapp has been ruled out with hip and back injuries. DraftKings is offering a special King of the End Zone promotion for its customers on Sunday, giving bettors a chance to win a share of a $2 million prize pool for anyone who correctly picks the player that scores the longest touchdown of the day. Which players should you target with your conference championship NFL bets?
Any customer who opts in is issued one single-use qualifying bet token, with a required minimum bet of $5 on any NFL TD scorer market. The token can be used on a single player, two players in a traditional parlay (two games) or up to three players in a same-game parlay (one game). Anyone who correctly chooses the longest touchdown scorer on Sunday will split the share of bonus bets. Before you make any Sunday King of the End Zone bets on DraftKings, be sure to check out the DraftKings King of the End Zone picks from NFL expert R.J. White.
White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushes against-the-spread picks and has gone 643-543-34 on his ATS picks from 2017-23, which returned more than $4,600 to $100 players. He also went 101-84-4 (+1366) on all NFL spread picks last season and is on an 18-6 roll (+1143) on his NFL prop picks this season. Anyone who has followed him could be way up. He already nailed Ladd McConkey as the longest TD scorer on Jan. 11 during the wild-card round and Saquon Barkley last Sunday during the Divisional Round.
Now, White has revealed his DraftKings King of the End Zone betting strategy for Sunday’s AFC and NFC Championship Games.
Top DraftKings King of the End Zone picks on Sunday
One part of White’s King of the End Zone strategy that we can reveal: He is staying away from Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Brown and Smith combined to score 15 touchdowns during the regular season, but neither of them has scored in two playoff games. Brown has just three total receptions on 10 targets, while Smith is averaging less than 10 yards per catch.
The Eagles only have two receiving touchdowns this postseason, as they have been able to rely heavily on their rushing attack. Running back Saquon Barkley has racked up 324 rushing yards and two scores, averaging more than six yards per carry. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has also gone over 100 rushing yards with a score, leaving Brown and Smith with limited opportunities.
Philadelphia will be focused on controlling the tempo again this weekend, as the Eagles do not want to give Washington’s explosive offense a chance to turn the game into a shootout. White is not including Brown or Smith in his conference championship selections on Sunday, but you can see who White’s picks are here.
How to make DraftKings King of the End Zone picks
White has analyzed Sunday’s King of the End Zone promotion at DraftKings from every possible angle. He is especially high on one tight end who is flying under the radar. Head to SportsLine to see who it is and find out which players to back.

The NFL season started with 32 teams fighting to get to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX, and now, that battle is down to just four teams as we get set to crown AFC and NFC champions on Sunday afternoon.
In the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles will host the Washington Commanders. This will mark the first time since the 1986 season that two NFC East teams will be playing each other in the conference title game. The two teams split in the regular season.
In the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs will be hosting the Buffalo Bills in a game that will mark the fourth time over the past five years that the two teams have met in the postseason. The Chiefs have won all three of the three previous meetings. The Chiefs are aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls while the Bills are gunning to get to their first Super Bowl win in franchise history.
The Bills will go into the game with some confidence after beating the Chiefs 30-21 back in Week 11.
Let’s take a look at the complete 2025 NFL playoffs schedule.
CBS Sports Design
2025 NFL playoffs schedule
Wild Card Weekend
Saturday, Jan. 11
- (4) Texans 32-12 over (5) Chargers. The Texans fell behind 6-0 early, but then took over from there to dominate the final three quarters. The Texans defense came up big with four interceptions of Justin Herbert, including a pick six by Eric Murray in the second half. Herbert threw more picks in one playoff game (4) than he threw during the entire regular season (3).
- (3) Ravens 28-14 over (6) Steelers. The Ravens used Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry to streamroll their way to a win over the Steelers. Henry rushed for 186 yards and two touchdowns while Jackson added 81 rushing yards on a night where the Ravens totaled 299 yards on the ground. Jackson also threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns in the win. The Ravens jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first half and it was never really close after that.
Sunday, Jan. 12
- (2) Bills 31-7 over (7) Broncos. The Bills fell behind 7-0 after Denver’s opening possession, but it was all Buffalo after that. Josh Allen totaled more than 300 yards with 272 yards and two touchdowns through the air while also tacking on 46 yards on the ground. With the win, the Bills became the first team since 2012 to finish with at least 250 yards through air and 200 yards on the ground in a playoff game.
- (2) Eagles 22-10 over (7) Packers. The Packers fumbled away the opening kickoff and things only got uglier from there. Jalen Hurts threw a touchdown pass to Jahan Dotson two plays after the Green Bay fumble and that put the Eagles ahead for good. Jordan Love threw three interceptions and the Packers were never really able to get their offense going against an impressive Eagles defense.
- (6) Commanders 23-20 over (3) Buccaneers. In his playoff debut, Jayden Daniels led the Commanders to their first playoff win since the 2005 season. Not only did he throw for 268 yards and two touchdowns, but he also led the team in rushing with 36 yards. With the win, Daniels became the first rookie quarterback to win a road playoff game since 2012.
Monday, Jan. 13
- (4) Rams 27-9 over (5) Vikings. The Rams offense gave Los Angeles a quick 10-0 lead in the first quarter and then the defense took over from there. The Rams pass-rush absolutely dominated the Vikings, sacking Sam Darnold nine times with two of those coming from Kobie Turner. The sack total was tied for the MOST in a playoff game in NFL history. The Rams defense held the Vikings to just nine points, which tied Minnesota’s lowest scoring output of the season.
Divisional Round
Saturday, Jan. 18
- (1) Chiefs 23-14 over (4) Texans. Once the playoffs start, the Chiefs always seem to find a way to win. Their offense got outgained (337-230) and their defense couldn’t stop the Texans on third down (Houston went 10 of 17), but the Chiefs continuously came up with big plays whenever they needed one. Travis Kelce, who caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown, was the star for Kansas City’s offense. Defensively, the Chiefs beat up on C.J. Stroud, who got sacked eight times. The pass rush was led by George Karlaftis, who had three sacks. Patrick Mahomes is now 7-0 in the divisional round in his career.
- (6) Commanders 45-31 over (1) Lions. Jayden Daniels is slowly etching his name into NFL history. No rookie quarterback has ever led his team to the Super Bowl and Daniels just took one step closer by playing a nearly perfect game against the Lions. The rookie QB threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 52 yards. The Commanders defense also came up big by forcing five turnovers, including a pick six by Quan Martin in the first half that put Washington in total control of the game. The Commanders are now headed to the NFC title game for the first time in 33 years.
Sunday, Jan. 19
- (2) Eagles 28-22 over (4) Rams. Saquon Barkley put the Eagles on his back and carried them to the NFC title game. The Eagles running back ran for 205 yards and two touchdowns, including a 78-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter that put Philly up 28-15. Barkley’s rushing total was the fifth-highest ever in NFL postseason history. The Rams drove down to Philadelphia’s 13-yard line in the final 90 seconds aiming to get a potential game-winning touchdown, but the drive came up short, sending the Eagles to the NFC title game.
- (2) Bills 27-25 over (3) Ravens. The Bills have Josh Allen, but it was their defense that carried them to the win in this game. The Bills forced three turnovers and those turnovers led to 10 points, which ended up being the difference in the game. Lamar Jackson was responsible for two of those turnovers with a lost fumble and an interception in the first half. As for Allen, although he wasn’t flashy, he was still impressive on a cold night where he completed 72.7% of his passes while adding two touchdown runs. The Bills are now one win away from their first Super Bowl appearance since 1993.
