NFL Playoff Schedule: Browns-Steelers, Ravens-Titans Headline Wild Card Round

Wild Card weekend will feature a pair of triple-headers, including Rams-Seahawks, Colts-Bills and Bears-Saints.

The 2020 regular season is now in the rearview mirror, setting the stage for what should be a thrilling postseason. 

Both the AFC and NFC sport multiple legitimate Super Bowl contenders, and with seven playoff teams in each conference, 2021 will feature the most expansive postseason in league history. Perhaps the altered postseason format will lead to a few upsets along the way before the Lombardi Trophy is hoisted in February.
