Heading into Wild Card weekend, the Detroit Lions secured the NFC North title and the top seed in the conference after running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored four touchdowns in their 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also won their division, claiming the No. 3 seed with a 27-19 win against the New Orleans Saints.
In the AFC, the Cincinnati Bengals narrowly missed out on a playoff spot as the Denver Broncos clinched the No. 7 seed with a 38-0 win over the Kansas City Chiefs (who were resting their key players). The Baltimore Ravens also emerged victorious, securing the AFC North title by defeating the Cleveland Browns 35-10, with quarterback Lamar Jackson achieving a historic milestone.
Teams that did not qualify for the playoffs are now facing pressure, as the day after the regular season is known as Black Monday, where decisions are made regarding coaching staff changes.
