Wild Card Weekend was a bust, with five underwhelming affairs decided by double-digits and the six losing teams combining to average 12 points per game.
The Divisional Round should make up for it.
It begins Saturday in Kansas City, where the Chiefs’ historic three-peat bid is at stake against the Texans, who are less than a month removed from a 27-19 loss there. It was one of the Chiefs’ 11 one-possession wins this season.
It continues in Detroit, where the Lions’ best team of the Super Bowl era has its best chance to reach the final game, beginning the postseason with a visit from another long-suffering squad (Washington), led by one of the most exciting rookie quarterbacks the league has ever seen (Jayden Daniels).
