With the playoff field set and only 12 teams left to compete for a Super Bowl title, it's time to turn the page of the calendar to January football. Literally. Welcome to 2020. With the new year comes four playoff matchups set for this weekend.
The New England Patriots will be one of the teams playing on Wild Card Weekend. After nine straight seasons of landing a first-round bye, that streak finally came to an end this year. If they are going to defend their Super Bowl title, they're going to have to do it by winning four games in the same postseason, something they've never done. Since Bill Belichick was hired in 2000, the Patriots have played in the wild-card round a total of three times (2005, 2006, 2009). Not only did they fail to reach the Super Bowl in each of those seasons, but they also didn't even make it to the game a single time.
In addition to the Patriots missing what was seemingly an annual first-round bye, the Baltimore Ravens own the No. 1 seed in the AFC for the first time under the Jon Harbaugh regime. It isn't the first time they have earned a first-round bye, but that also hasn't been common for this Ravens franchise. Earlier this week, Bryan DeArdo broke down how the Ravens have fared in past seasons when they earned a first-round bye.
As for the rest of the NFL, the first game of this year's postseason will kick off on Saturday afternoon in Houston with the Bills playing the Texans. The NFC playoffs will get underway on Sunday with the Saints hosting the Vikings.
The 2019 regular season is in the books, and there's a lot to go over. Fortunately Will Brinson, John Breech, Ryan Wilson and Sean Wagner-McGough are here to break everything down on the Pick Six Podcast. Listen below and be sure to subscribe right here for daily NFL goodness.
The Ravens, Chiefs, Packers and 49ers all earned a bye through the wild-card round, which means you won't be seeing them on the field this week. The Packers will have the longest break of anyone, and that's because they'll be hosting the final game of the divisional round on Jan. 12.
