Those who believe NFL Wild Card weekend is the best of all weekend matchups on the football calendar likely reinforced that belief after the opening slate of 2019 playoff games.
The Indianapolis Colts took on the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium and pulled off the upset, knocking off the 2018 AFC South champions in a 21-7 one-sided affair. The Dallas Cowboys, meanwhile, held off the Seattle Seahawks’ top-ranked rushing attack en route to a 24-22 narrow win at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
And then the Los Angeles Chargers survived a late fourth-quarter comeback by the Baltimore Ravens, winning their NFL Wild Card matchup 23-17.
