There's still hope for an Oklahoma Sooner to become a Super Bowl champion this football season.

The divisional round of the NFL Playoffs is this weekend with eight teams still competing to make the Super Bowl on Feb. 9. The Detroit Lions are the only team still alive without former OU player on its roster. The defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs, who got a bye last week, have more Sooners than any other franchise left in the NFL Playoffs.

Here's a look at every former Sooners playing this weekend and how you can watch them.

Houston Texan: Joe Mixon (RB)
Kansas City Chiefs: Marquise "Hollywood" Brown (WR), Creed Humphrey (C), McKade Mettauer (OL), Wanya Morris (OT), Samaje Perine (RB), James Winchester (LS)

The first NFL Playoff game of the weekend will feature Sooners everywhere making an impact.

The Texans' offense centers around Joe Mixon, as he got 25 carries last week and rushed for 106 yards. The Chiefs' offense also relies heavily on some Sooners with Pro Bowl center Creed Humphrey anchoring the offensive line to protect Patrick Mahomes so he can have time to find Marquise Brown deep.

Washington Commanders: Tress Way (P), Austin Seibert (K)
Detroit Lions: None

The Commanders knocked out Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, but are still Sooner Nation's best team to cheer for in this matchup with the Lions being the only team without a Sooner.

Austin Seibert has been on IR, but Tress Way was the holder during the game-winning field goal that ended the Bucs' season.

Los Angeles Rams: Neville Gallimore (DT), Drake Stoops (WR)
Philadelphia Eagles: Grant Calcaterra (TE), Jalen Hurts (QB), Lane Johnson (OU)

Jalen Hurts finally returned last week to lead the Eagles' offense after a concussion had him sidelined for several weeks. And Lane Johnson is the biggest factor in making sure Hurts doesn't get injured again so they can get back to the Super Bowl for the second time with Hurts at QB.

For the Rams, Drake Stoops is just on the practice squad, but Neville Gallimore will be a major contributor for the Rams' defense.

Baltimore Ravens: Mark Andrews (TE)
Buffalo Bills: Jordan Phillips (DT)

This is the biggest matchup of the week between the No. 2 and No. 3 seed in the AFC. And on this big stage, you can almost guarantee Mark Andrews will be making a huge impact for the Ravens on the road.
