Super Wild Card Weekend Kicks Off Saturday FOR USE AS DESIRED 1/5/21 SUPER WILD CARD WEEKEND KICKS OFF SATURDAY The NFL’s playoff table is ready. Get ready for a six-course meal. The addition of a third Wild Card team in each conference this season and the subsequent expansion of the playoffs has resulted in a Super Wild Card Weekend of NFL action. For the first time ever, there will be three games on Saturday, January 9, and three games on Sunday, January 10, to be played at 1:05 p.m., 4:40 p.m., and 8:15 p.m. ET on each day. The postseason kicks off Saturday on the heels of the highest-scoring regular season in NFL history, packed with more points (12,692) and touchdowns (1,473) than any of the league’s previous 100 years. All told, 179 of 256 games – 70 percent – were within one score (eight points) in the fourth quarter, more games than all but one season in league annals (184 in 2016). And no lead was safe, as winning teams combined to erase deficits of 10-or-more points in 43 games, tying a single-season league record. Steady, dangerous teams led by consistent veterans, young and on-the-rise clubs guided by sensational newcomers, they all have seats at the table.

It also happened in 1980, in the AFC, when the NFL expanded its playoff field with an additional Wild Card qualifier in each conference. One of those 1980 AFC teams, the 11- 5 OAKLAND RAIDERS, went on to become the first Wild Card team to win a Super Bowl. WATCH OUT FOR ROAD TEAMS: The road club has won six of the last eight NFL Wild Card games over the past two seasons. Since the 2017 playoffs, road teams are 8-4. And, in seven of the past eight seasons, at least one road team has won a Wild Card game. HISTORY ON WASHINGTON’S SIDE: Since divisional play began, 438 teams have earned division championships. The WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (7-9) is the third club in league history to win its division with a record below .500. However, each of those two previous teams – the 2010 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS and the 2014 CAROLINA PANTHERS – were victorious in their first-round playoff games. WOMEN ASSISTANT COACHES WELL-REPRESENTED: There were eight women serving in assistant-coach roles this season, and six of them will be coaching during Super Wild Card Weekend.

Bills wide receiver STEFON DIGGS this season led the NFL with 127 receptions, the sixth-most receptions in a single season in league annals. Only MICHAEL THOMAS (149 receptions in 2019), Pro Football Hall of Famer MARVIN HARRISON (143 in 2002), JULIO JONES (136 in 2015) and ANTONIO BROWN (136 in 2015 and 129 in 2014) had more.

The clubs split their regular-season series this season, with each club winning its home game. The Rams beat Seattle, 23-16, in Week 10 while the Seahawks defeated Los Angeles, 20-9, in Week 16. Since selecting quarterback RUSSELL WILSON in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, Seattle has earned eight postseason berths in nine years. Wilson threw a career-high 40 touchdown passes and, with 4,212 passing yards, registered his fourth career 4,000-yard season in 2020.

Rams defensive lineman AARON DONALD tied for second in the NFL with 13.5 sacks. Since entering the NFL in 2014, he leads the league with 85.5 sacks, having surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer DERRICK THOMAS (85) for the third-most sacks by a player in his first seven seasons since 1982, when the individual sack became an official statistic. Los Angeles wide receiver ROBERT WOODS tied his career highs in receptions (90) and receiving touchdowns (six) in 2020. In four career playoff games, he has 26 receptions for 314 yards (78.5 per game). In five of the previous eight seasons (2012-19), an NFC West team has represented the conference in the Super Bowl, including the Rams in 2018 and the Seahawks in 2013 and 2014. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (11-5) at WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (7-9) Saturday, NBC/Universo, 8:15 PM ET The Buccaneers, in their second season under head coach BRUCE ARIANS, clinched their first playoff berth since 2007. At the reins of the Cardinals in 2015, Arians guided Arizona to the NFC Championship game.

Tampa Bay quarterback TOM BRADY passed for 399 yards and four touchdowns with one interception for a 117.8 rating while wide receiver ANTONIO BROWN had 11 receptions for 138 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers’ Week 17 win.
