Notre Dame alums front and center during NFL Wild Card Weekend

The 2019 Notre Dame football season may be over, but the NFL Playoffs are about to begin. This gives you — the Notre Dame fan — a chance to continue to root for your favorite Irish players now cashing checks in the NFL.

This weekend features four Wild Card games — two of which will prominently feature former Notre Dame players in key roles.

This first game of the weekend will see the Houston Texans host the Buffalo Bills. Former Notre Dame offensive lineman Nick Martin is the starting center for the Houston Texans, and he’ll have his hands full with a young and talented Buffalo defensive line.
