Sunday's pair of divisional round clashes features four of the game's best quarterbacks, offering an exciting look at a changing of the guard at the position.
The early game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans on CBS at 3:05 p.m. E.T. will pit two of the brightest young stars in the league against each other. Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes already has an MVP award under his belt, and the prolific passer will now try to add a Super Bowl trophy to his collection. He'll have to go through Houston's Deshaun Watson first, though. Watson shrugged off a rough start to his postseason career last year with an iconic performance a week ago in a come-from-behind win over the Buffalo Bills in the wild card round. Watson and Mahomes figure to take over as two of the league's first-rate players for a long time and, if they stay healthy, there's a good chance this won't be the last time they face each other in the playoffs.
