Wild-card weekend winners, losers
Since expanding its playoff field to 14 teams a year ago, the NFL has taken to calling the opening round “Super Wild Card Weekend.” But was it? Really? Aside from the San Francisco 49ers’ 23-17 upset of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon – easily the game of the weekend given the score, outcome, national profile of both teams and way it ended – it was largely a pretty forgettable serving of football, three of the five games quickly devolving into blowouts. Otherwise, without further ado, your winners and losers from (a not so super?) wild-card weekend: Winners Buffalo Bills: Despite Saturday night’s single-digit temperatures, they’ve caught fire at the right time, carrying a huge wave of momentum into the divisional round after an up-and-down regular season.
