Upsets? Those are for Wild Card weekend. Once we got to the Divisional round, the cream rose to the top. In fact, the cream has been rising to the top in the NFL playoffs the last five years.
The one conference champ who wasn’t a No. 1 seed? The 2016 Atlanta Falcons, a No. 2 seed. No team which played a road playoff game has made the Super Bowl since 2012, when the Niners did it.
