Saturday's NFL wild card playoffs action didn't exactly start with a bang, as the Kansas City Chiefs thoroughly dismantled the Houston Texans, winning by a final score of 30-0. But if you stayed up late last night, you were treated (is "treated" the right word?) to one of the craziest finishes ever seen in a playoff game, with the Cincinnati Bengals coughing up a late lead to fall to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 18-16.
With the AFC's divisional-round matchups settled, the NFC takes center stage on Sunday. These are the games you'll be watching; who are you pulling for today?

Seattle actually employs four former Bills players. You'll see two of them on the field: running backs Fred Jackson and Bryce Brown. A third, Tarvaris Jackson, is the backup quarterback, and a fourth, Marshawn Lynch, is trying to return from midseason surgery, but won't play today.
