The wild card weekend was, indeed, wild, with the very first game coming down to a Hail Mary pass, two No. 5 seeds knocking off No. 4 seeds, and both No. 6 seeds advancing with wins over division rivals.
The Cleveland Browns on Sunday night ended an excruciatingly-long streak of no playoff wins with their 48-37 win at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Three quarterbacks from the 2018 NFL Draft class—Cleveland’s Baker Mayfield, Buffalo’s Josh Allen and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson—all earned their first playoff wins and now represent three-fourths of the AFC. The other? Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, who was taken in the 2017 draft.
The upcoming weekend will also feature two of the all-time greatest with Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. The other NFC divisional game will have Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers hosting the Los Angeles Rams, guided by Jared Goff—for now.
Here are the results from the Super Wild Card Weekend:
AFC No. 2 Buffalo 27, No. 7 Indianapolis 24 No. 6 Cleveland 48, No. 3 Pittsburgh 37 No. 5 Baltimore 20, No. 4 Tennessee 13
NFC No. 2 New Orleans 21, No. 7 Chicago 9 No. 6 L.A. Rams 30, No. 3 Seattle 20 No. 5 Tampa Bay 31, No. 4 Washington 23
