NFL Playoffs: Ranking the starting QBs in the AFC, NFC Championship games

Let's break down the biggest storylines ahead of the AFC and NFC Championship games, including a ranking of the best quarterbacks.

We're mere hours away from finding out who will make the 2025 Super Bowl as the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills square off in the AFC championship game and the Washington Commanders take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC championship. Both matchups present a multitude of storylines.

Will Bills quarterback Josh Allen finally get past Patrick Mahomes in the postseason? Do the Commanders have enough defensively to stop Eagles running back Saquon Barkley? Is this the end of Jayden Daniels' magical rookie season, or will he cement his status as the sport's next big star?

Rohan Nadkarni and Andrew Greif of NBC News and Patrick Daugherty of NBC Sports answer those questions and more ahead of the conference title games Sunday.

Nadkarni: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts

I would rather be behind the curve as opposed to ahead of the curve when it comes to doubting Mahomes. So even with his and the Chiefs’ relatively pedestrian offensive numbers this year, in the game’s biggest moments, there is no question for me: I want Mahomes.
