Badger Bits: Wisconsin players in NFL playoffs; former assistants talk UW

With the 2017 college football season now finished, all eyes turn to the NFL playoffs and the eight teams remaining in their attempts to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

As usual, six former Wisconsin Badgers could make their presences felt on their respective teams’ paths to the Super Bowl.

In the late Saturday afternoon match-up (3:35 p.m. CT, NBC), the Atlanta Falcons head north to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Though no Badgers play for the Falcons, former running back Corey Clement and defensive tackle Beau Allen are on the active roster for the Eagles.
