Additionally, one-quarter of the league is going to hire a new offensive coordinator in this cycle, and that doesn't include the teams that are also looking for a new head coach.

The 1-seeds in both conferences are moving on, but that doesn't come anywhere near telling the whole story of Saturday night. Sure, the Chiefs are headed to their fifth consecutive AFC Championship Game, but it will be a tense few days ahead after Patrick Mahomes injured his ankle in the first quarter of the Divisional Round win over the Jaguars. The Eagles, meanwhile, reasserted some dominance in the NFC by controlling the Giants from wire to wire.
