The wild card round of the NFL playoffs may not have quite lived up to its name—in every matchup save for the Washington Commanders–Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Houston Texans emerged victorious over the Los Angeles Chargers in the opening game of Wild Card weekend, advancing to the divisional round.

The Vikings finished four games better than the Rams but did not win the NFC North and therefore will start the playoffs on the road after dropping their Week 18 game against the Lions. The Rams are the only team other than the Lions to defeat the Vikings this season.
