Kansas City and Tampa Bay’s blowout victories, over Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, sandwiched the only upset of wild-card weekend: sixth-seeded San Francisco beating third-seeded Dallas.

The playoff picture is slowly whittling into form, with five games on Saturday and Sunday that established all the A.F.C.

The bracket will not be finalized until the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals finish their game, the first time the league has ever held a playoff game on a Monday.

Still, the other remaining teams know where they must book their travel arrangements for next week’s games, which will be on Saturday and Sunday.

The San Francisco 49ers, who upset the Dallas Cowboys, will face the top-seeded Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Saturday at 8:15 p.m.

The Buccaneers will host the winner of Monday’s night’s game on Sunday at 3 p.m.

1 seed, will host Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday at 4:30 p.m., while the Bills will play at Kansas City on Sunday at 6:30 p.m.

The Buccaneers held Philadelphia scoreless until the fourth quarter, and self-inflicted mishaps — errant throws by Jalen Hurts, dropped passes and a muffed punt by Jalen Reagor recovered by Tampa Bay — doomed the Eagles from securing an upset.

The 49ers held the Cowboys, the league’s top-scoring offense in the regular season, to just one touchdown in the first three quarters.

Watt scoop-and-score, Kansas City rebounded to blow out the Pittsburgh Steelers, 42-21, in what is believed to be quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s last game.

2 Kansas City, Sunday, 6:30 p.m., CBS.

2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sunday, 3 p.m., NBC
