"The NFL wild-card round certainly lived up to its name. The Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks -- the top seeds in the AFC and the NFC, respectively -- will get in on the action this coming weekend in the divisional round after earning first-round byes. In the AFC, the Broncos will face the visiting Buffalo Bills, who escaped a wild finish against the Jacksonville Jaguars that featured four touchdowns in a back-and-forth fourth quarter."
"In the NFC, the Seahawks will host the San Francisco 49ers, who scored the final 13 points in their first-round outing with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles to pull out the win. The Bears erased an 18-point deficit against the Green Bay Packers in their wild-card matchup, and Chicago will host the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams were able to rally past the Carolina Panthers thanks to a Matthew Stafford touchdown pass with 38 seconds left to advance."
