A look at the key to each matchup in first round of the NFL Playoffs

Finally, the NFL Playoffs are here!

It feels like just yesterday the NFL season was kicking off at the launch party in Seattle; that’s how fast this season has flown by.

More from NFL

Although the season is almost over and your team is in the playoffs, it’s not time to get complacent, fans. The season will be over before you know it. Four more teams will be eliminated from contention this weekend, and if you’re a fan of one of the eight teams playing on Wildcard Weekend, it’s never an easy week leading up to the weekend.

There’s a lot of stress, second-guessing, and overanalyzing every little detail heading into the game.

I’m here to try and stop that anxiety and paranoia by breaking down each game into one key aspect of the game that will end up being the difference in the game.

I hope this can ease your mind, even if it’s ever so slight.

Here are the keys to all four games on Wildcard Weekend!

Happy NFL Playoffs, everybody!
