"The 2025 NFL Playoffs kick off today (Saturday) with some intriguing matchups in the Wildcard round. Two big NFC matchups loom today, with the first kickoff coming at 3:30 in Carolina, as the Panthers (8-9) host the Los Angeles Rams (12-5). Carolina won the NFC South with a sub-.500 record, and that always seems to trigger the fanbase of the visiting team in the Wildcard round."
"This evening's entertainment features chapter three of the 2025 Bears versus Packers rivalry. Caleb Williams and the second-seed Bears look to knock off Jordan Love and the visiting Packers at Soldier Field for the second time this season. With the end of the year, comes end of season awards, and the NFL has announced it's All-Pro selections for the 2025 season. The 7-9-1 Cowboys aren't represented on the first team this season, but three players made it to the second team list."
"It should come as no shock to fans that the Cowboys did not have a single defensive player voted to an All-Pro team, or even the Pro Bowl. The defense put on one of the worst season-long performances in recent memory. Dallas set a franchise record for most points allowed in a season, letting opposing offenses rack up 511 points in 17 games, a 30.1 points per game average."
The Wildcard round opens with Panthers hosting the Rams after Carolina won the NFC South with an 8-9 record, forcing Los Angeles to travel despite a 12-5 season. The Bears, seeded second, host the Packers as Caleb Williams faces Jordan Love in a season chapter at Soldier Field. All-Pro selections were announced with the 7-9-1 Cowboys missing first-team representation but placing three players on the second team. Dallas defense struggled badly, allowing a franchise-record 511 points over 17 games (30.1 points per game), while the offense produced efficient numbers and saw wide receiver George Pickens post career highs.
