Fourteen NFL teams remain alive in the quest for the Lombardi Trophy. The playoffs are set to get underway on Saturday with Super Wild Card Weekend, and by Tuesday morning, only eight teams will remain.

Here, we'll look past the biggest names and examine one player from each team with the potential to sway games in the postseason.
