Wild-Card Weekend: Matchups Set for First Round of Playoffs

The first-ever Week 18 in NFL history did not disappoint, with several surprising results defying expectations. The end result? An upended playoff field that sets us up for an eventful wild-card weekend.

The NFC field is set, while the AFC field will be finalized once the Chargers-Raiders game goes final. A win or tie for the Raiders gets them into the field as the No. 6 seed, while the Steelers would get the No. 7 seed. If the Chargers win, they would be the No. 6 seed with Pittsburgh at No. 7. Should Los Angeles and Las Vegas tie, both would get in, with the Steelers heading home.
