After a wild Week 18, we now know which teams will battle it out in the first round of the NFL playoffs!
Wild-card weekend is one of the most exciting times of the year for NFL fans. Five games will take place on Saturday and Sunday (airing on NBC, CBS, and FOX), while a special Monday Wild Card Game between the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams will air January 17 on ABC and ESPN.
Fourteen teams advanced to the playoffs, with the Green Bay Packers and Tennessee Titans securing first-round byes. Despite an exciting fourth quarter comeback against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football, the Los Angeles Chargers (9-8) were eliminated from playoff contention thanks to a game-winning overtime field goal from Daniel Carlson as time expired. The Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, and New Orleans Saints all finished the season with 9-8 records but also missed out on earning a spot in the postseason.
