NFL Divisional Round: How to Watch, Stream Jaguars vs. Chiefs on Saturday Without Cable

Kansas City hosts Jacksonville in the first Divisional Round game on NBC and Peacock.

The Jacksonville Jaguars were down 27-0 to the Chargers before engineering an epic comeback in their Wild Card game last Saturday. They now must travel to Arrowhead Stadium and take on the Kansas City Chiefs, who enjoyed a first-round bye last weekend. Can Trevor Lawrence and the upstart Jaguars continue their playoff run against Patrick Mahomes and the high-flying Chiefs? This divisional round game kicks off in Kansas City on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET (3:30 p.m. CT, 1:30 p.m. PT) on NBC and Peacock.

How to watch Jaguars vs. Chiefs without cable

If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch the Jags-Chiefs game on NBC with a live TV service or on NBC’s Peacock streaming service. The good news for football fans is that NBC is available on each of the five major streaming services. The catch is that not every service carries every local network, so check each one using the links below to make sure it carries NBC in your area.

If you live in an area with good reception, you can watch the broadcast on NBC for free on over-the-air broadcast channels just by attaching an affordable (under $30) indoor antenna to nearly any TV.

All of the live TV streaming services above offer free trials, allow you to cancel anytime and require a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live-TV streaming services guide.

#1: Say the clue words out loud, pausing before and after each. That helps you hear the words in the context of a phrase. The Connections editors love to group words together that are used in similar phrasing, like ____ Up.

#2: Don’t go for the obvious grouping. These editors are smart. Once, they offered SPONGE, BOB, SQUARE and PANTS in the same puzzle. None of those words were in the same category. If you like, hit the «shuffle» button to give yourself a different perspective on the words.

#3: Break down any compound words and look for similarities. «Rushmore» was once in a puzzle where the connection was that each word started with the name of a rock band.
