With a "wild" Wild Card weekend of the NFL playoffs in the books after this weekend, the NFL Divisional Playoff schedule is now set for next week.
First, here are the final scores and bullet point storylines surrounding this last weekend's games...
Tennessee Titans 22, Kansas City Chiefs 21
- Despite being heavy favorites heading into the game, the Kansas City Chiefs couldn't stop Derrick Henry (156 yards, 1 TD) and a late charge by the Titans pushing Tennessee into the second round.
Atlanta Falcons 26, Las Angeles Rams 13
- The story here was the Atlanta defense which stymied the league's highest scoring offense in the Rams. Playoff experience on one sideline and none on the other seemed to be a big deciding factor here.
Jacksonville Jaguars 10, Buffalo Bills 3
- Yuck. 😲
New Orleans Saints 31, Carolina Panthers 26
- Had to be the game of the weekend as Cam Newton and the Panthers almost fought their way back into this game. New Orleans looked good, but leaky at the same time. This particular game was vintage Saints with Drew Brees carrying the load with 376 passing yards and 2 TDs.
So, here you have it. Here's the schedule for this weekend's NFL Divisional Playoff Round...
