We have to wait until tomorrow to see if the Buccaneers can bump off the Saints and allow the Falcons to make their hiring of new general manager Terry Fontenot official, but that doesn’t mean that Divisional Round Saturday lacks for intrigue.
First up in about a half and hour, we’ll be looking at Packers versus Rams. Green Bay has gone from a struggling, listless team under Mike McCarthy to a juggernaut under Matt LaFleur, who has gone from hyped assistant on Kyle Shanahan’s staff to one of the league’s better young coaches. They’ll match up against another vaunted young coach in Sean McVay, who will have to lean on Brandon Staley’s terrific defense featuring muscle-bound warlock Aaron Donald, given that Jared Goff is banged up and ineffective.
