2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend live stream: where to watch Monday’s NFL playoff game

After two days of competition, only one game remains this Wild Card Weekend. They saved the best for last as the No. 5 Dallas Cowboys face off against the No. 4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The winner clinches the final spot in the Divisional Round next weekend.

All of the pressure is on the Cowboys, who only have three playoff wins since 1997. The Cowboys have not made the NFC Championship since 1995, which happened to be the last year they won the Super Bowl. For the Cowboys to win, they need to beat Tom Brady, the greatest postseason quarterback of all time, who happens to be 7-0 against the Cowboys.

The Divisional Round of the 2024 NFL Playoffs continues on Sunday afternoon as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head north to play the Detroit Lions. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT on January 21. The game will be broadcast live on NBC and simulcast on Peacock. Mike Tirico will call the game alongside Cris Collinsworth, with Melissa Stark and Kaylee Hartung providing sideline reports inside Ford Field in Detroit.

Many experts did not predict the Bucs to make the postseason, let alone win a playoff game. Yet, Tampa dominated the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card Round on their way to a 32-9 victory. However, beating the Lions will not be easy. Detroit feels like a team of destiny after the Lions last week notched their first playoff win since the 1991 season.

On Saturday night, the Green Bay Packers head west for the Divisional Round of the 2024 NFL Playoffs to play the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers. Fox will broadcast the game starting at 8:15 p.m. ET/5:15 p.m. PT on January 20. Fox will have their top broadcast team – Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), Greg Olsen (color), Erin Andrews (sideline), and Tom Rinaldi (sideline) – call the game from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The Packers became the first seven-seed to win in the Wild Card Round after throttling the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 48-32 last week. If quarterback Jordan Love plays like an All-Pro again, the sky is the limit for the Packers. However, the 49ers have the Packers' number, having won the last four head-to-head matchups in the postseason. For San Francisco, it's Super Bowl or bust -- anything less than that will be a disaster.
