NFL Playoffs: Week One Schedule and Where to Watch

The Patriots are on a bye week but there is still a lot of football action this weekend. Find out where to catch games in the Braintree area.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are back in the playoffs and will be in search of their fourth Superbowl Ring since 2002.

The Patriots clinched a playoff spot and ended the season with a 12-4 record. Also, thanks to their Dec. 10 win over the Houston Texans (also a 12-4 team), the Pats earned a bye week in the first round of the playoffs.

However, while there will not be a Patriots game this weekend, there will still be plenty of action. It's also a good chance to watch the upcoming competition.
