The NFL’s wild-card weekend features divisional rivals facing off, two NFC rematches from Week 1 and the Harbaugh brothers coaching on the same day.

Former Minnesota Vikings 1st round pick Lewis Cine has been signed by the Philadelphia Eagles for the wildcard game against the Packers.

The Detroit Lions are expected to steal a breakout defender from the Minnesota Vikings in free agency this offseason.

Even if the Bills fall short of next month’s Super Bowl, they remain positioned for prolonged greatness. If that’s not enough for perennial contention, then the rest of the AFC East’s decrepitude will keep that window wide open.

That 2023 Broncos team had gotten off to a 1-5 start in Payton’s debut season, but it won seven of its final 11 games and while the 8-9 record left Denver on the outside of the playoff bubble, it was a solid building block for 2024 and the Broncos went 10-7 this season.

Before the Eagles embark on their playoff jersey, they decided to take a page out of the Bills defensive playbook.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell told Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell that the teams will meet again in the NFL playoffs.

The gauntlet that is the NFL regular season is over, and the seven teams in each conference that managed to separate themselves over that 17-game marathon are the only ones who remain standing.

The Lions certainly looked like a true Super Bowl contender as they crushed the Vikings en route to another NFC North crown.
