The NFL's wild-card weekend kicked off Saturday with a wild one in Carolina, where the Los Angeles Rams hung on for a 34-31 victory over the Panthers. In the late window, the Green Bay Packers led by as many as 18 points before the Chicago Bears made a push in the fourth quarter to beat Green Bay 31-27.

The NFL playoffs began on Saturday with a pair of fantastic games.

The Kansas City Chiefs, winners of three Super Bowls in the last six years and three straight AFC championships, missed the playoffs after a 10-year streak of getting to the postseason.
