We’re now down to four teams in the NFL postseason tournament. Only two will go to the Super Bowl in New Jersey.
Denver or New England will represent the AFC and either San Francisco or Seattle will play for the NFC.
NFL Network will be on the case with a whopping eight hours of pregame coverage starting with NFL GameDay First at 7 a.m. ET, then a 6 hour edition of NFL GameDay Morning running between 9 a.m. ET and 3 p.m. ET. That’s a long time to be on the air. I hope there will be bathroom breaks for the crew.
And adding to the already large on-air crew on GameDay Morning, Deion Sanders, Charles Woodson and Terrell Suggs will join the cast on Sunday.
Here’s what’s in store for the two shows.
