"The Chicago Bears are the NFC's #2 seed and were victorious themselves earlier in the weekend on Saturday night. Chicago took down the Green Bay Packers and solidified the pick that Dallas holds from them as a result of the Micah Parsons trade at number 20 overall which was objectively a good thing, but both #2 seeds advancing is bad news for the Cowboys of two years ago."
"There are 12 teams who have been the #2 seed since then and therefore 12 teams who have hosted the #7 seed in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. As a result of the wins from Chicago and New England those #2 seeds are now 11-1 in those specific games... with the lone loss being the 2023 Dallas Cowboys."
The New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night, securing the AFC #2 seed's advancement. The Chicago Bears, as the NFC #2 seed, defeated the Green Bay Packers on Saturday and solidified the pick Dallas obtained from Green Bay via the Micah Parsons trade at No. 20 overall. The NFL expanded the playoff field to three Wild Card teams per conference ahead of the 2020 season, creating twelve #2 seeds that have hosted #7 seeds in the Wild Card Round over six seasons. Following the Patriots and Bears wins, #2 seeds are 11-1 in those games, with the lone loss belonging to the 2023 Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys continue to be defined by that playoff loss.
