The NFL Playoffs are back, and there has already been plenty of drama on and off the field. Yes, you were probably just busting out a bag of popcorn to watch some of the drama go down, but the actual games have arrived and popcorn isn't going to cut it.
You need pizza and buffalo wings and maybe an Impossible Burger and a beer and, oh, Funyons! Are those still around? You need that because that's what commercials and our stomachs tell us we should want while once again watching our team disappoint expectations like it's the last season of Game of Thrones. To that end, we've pulled together all the best deals you're going to find on Sundays during the games this season. That includes deals from Applebee's, Pizza Hut, Olive Garden, and many others.
Check out our running list of the deals below and be well fed throughout the NFL playoffs.
