It was a jampacked weekend of playoff action, as for the first time there were six wild-card round matchups after the field was expanded to 14 teams for the 2020 season. Six teams advanced to the divisional round with victories, while six others had their seasons come to an end.
Among the notable winners over the weekend were the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns, a pair of franchises that were starved for postseason success. The Bills hadn't won a playoff game since the 1995 season, while the Browns' last postseason victory had been in the 1994 campaign.
Cleveland wasn't the only team to notch a road victory during Wild Card Weekend, as the Baltimore Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams were all away from home and ended up securing victories over teams that were seeded higher than them in the playoff bracket.
