The Seahawks and Redskins game may be the most exciting of the weekend with two dynamic rookie QB's leading the way.
With the Dallas and Redskins game over, the playoff picture is now clear.
Here's a look at the Wild Card Match-ups.
The AFC teams were locked-up before Sunday but there was a lot of movement left with the seeding.
AFC Playoff Picture:
#1 Seed - Broncos - With the Texans loss, Peyton Manning took Denver to the Top spot in the AFC. The road to the Super Bowl goes through Mile High.
#2 Seed - Patriots - Tom Brady has a first round bye, is anyone surprised. This team has to play defense if they want to go to another Super Bowl.

Seattle far different from 2010 playoff team
Pete Carroll was thrilled to be in the postseason but knew it was a mirage.
Two seasons ago, in his first venture back in the NFL from the college game, Carroll guided the Seattle Seahawks into the postseason with the dubious distinction of being the only team in NFL history to win a division title with a losing record. Seattle at least showed itself worthy of the playoffs by upsetting...
Seattle's playoff road history not a pretty view
While they are one of the hottest teams going into the postseason, there's a lot of past playoff futility for the Seattle Seahawks to overcome - nearly three decades worth.

Although the Redskins host a playoff game in mere days, I thought it would be okay to look ahead to next season -- just because it's officially 2013 now. [Happy New Year, by the way.] We have no dates, but we do know who the Redskins will play and where they will play them in 2013. Have a look.
