Updated NFL Playoff Bracket after Wild Card Weekend

The NFL Playoffs are well underway with Wild Card Weekend wrapping up and setting the Divisional Round in stone.

Wild Card Weekend has wrapped up in the NFL as the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts both advanced to the Divisional Round of the postseason, joining the Baltimore Ravens and Carolina Panthers as teams to survive the first weekend of play.

The weekend wasn’t without controversy, as the Dallas Cowboys won on a game-winning drive that saw officials commit an obvious pass interference call that was announced and then reversed in mysterious fashion. It has spawned a slew of conspiracy theories but at the end of the day the Cowboys are moving on.

Fans crying foul against the Cowboys may see justice enacted next weekend, as the win by Dallas sets up an NFC Divisional Round game against the Green Bay Packers — a showdown that is destined to become an instant classic. The win also sends Carolina to Seattle to set up a matchup between the Panthers and Seahawks.

Over in the AFC, the Bengals and Steelers both got bounced out of the playoffs on the first weekend of the postseason which sets up matchups between the Broncos and Colts as well as the Ravens and Patriots. Both game are incredible dangerous for the home teams, as the Ravens have beaten the Patriots two out of the three times they’ve met in the Tom Brady era while the Colts are meeting the Broncos in their most vulnerable state in recent memory.
