The wild-card spot is a great spot to be in this season's NFL playoffs, apparently.
The only regular-season division champion to win on Wild Card Weekend was the Dallas Cowboys. Outside of AT&T Stadium, it was wild-card winners galore. The Los Angeles Chargers went into Baltimore and won, 23-17, after the Indianapolis Colts stomped the Houston Texans, 21-7.
Most stunning of all, the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles—seeded No. 6 this year—escaped Chicago with a 16-15 win over the Bears.
Wild Card Weekend produced the unexpected—a double-doink field goal miss and a lack of touchdowns, for example—which leaves little question that the divisional round will be just as if not more surprising.
