Moon: Final thoughts on NFL divisional round playoff games

The first two postseasons produced all four road teams winning on wild-card weekend, an NFL first, and all four home teams winning this weekend in the divisional round.

But neither sweep should be surprising, however, particularly in the wild-card round.

Home teams in that first brace of games include two teams who are home simply because they were division winners. The road teams were wild cards solely by virtue of records, with the result that the better team was unquestionably the superior team: Kansas City at 11-5 or AFC South winner Houston at 9-7? The 30-0 Chiefs win was zero surprise.
