What to Watch For in Sunday’s N.F.L. Wild-Card Games

Sunday brings another day chock-full of N.F.L. playoff football, with three games kicking off roughly 12 hours after the last of Saturday’s trio of postseason contests ended. Distinct, pitched rivalries heighten the stakes of two of the matchups — Baltimore at Tennessee at 1:05 p.m. Eastern, and Cleveland at Pittsburgh at 8:15 p.m. — but the middle game, which has Chicago visiting New Orleans at 4:40 p.m., is seen as an apparent mismatch since it includes the erratic Bears, one of only two teams without winning records that have barged into the playoffs.

Lamar Jackson will try to finally win a playoff game.
