The Division Round of the NFL Playoffs opened on Saturday with two games.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE:

At Kansas City, Missouri:

Running back Damien Williams ran for 129 yards and a touchdown as the Kansas City Chiefs downed the visiting Indianapolis Colts 31-13 in a divisional playoff game.


The Chiefs will host next Sunday's AFC Championship Game (their first title game appearance in 25 years) against the winner of Sunday's Los Angeles Chargers-New England Patriots contest.


NATIONAL FOOTBALL CONFERENCE:

At Los Angeles:

C.J. Anderson ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns while fellow running back Todd Gurley garnered 115 yards on the ground and another score as the Los Angeles Rams racked up a franchise playoff-record 273 rushing yards in holding off the visiting Dallas Cowboys 30-22 for their first playoff victory in 14 years.

The Rams will play in next Sunday's NFC Championship Game, at home against Philadelphia, or in New Orleans, depending on who wins Sunday's Eagles-Saints game.
