NFL winners, losers from wild-card weekend: Bills break out as Cowboys confound in playoffs
Since expanding its playoff field to 14 teams a year ago, the NFL has taken to calling the opening round “Super Wild Card Weekend.”
But was it? Really?
Aside from the San Francisco 49ers’ 23-17 upset of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon – easily the game of the weekend given the score, outcome, national profile of both teams and way it ended – it was largely a pretty forgettable serving of football, three of the five games quickly devolving into blowouts.
