NFL playoffs started with a pair of lopsided scores. On Saturday, the "underdog" Houston Texans overcame a slow start to post a commanding 32-12 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. For the nightcap, the Baltimore Ravens recorded a 28-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers that wasn't even as close as the final score would seem to indicate.

The Lions are led by quarterback Jared Goff, who has 37 touchdowns (No. 4 in the NFL) and 4,629 yards (No. 2 in the NFL) with a 72.4 completion percentage and the No. 6 quarterback rating in the league (68.5).

The Chiefs and Lions have next weekend off, but these 12 NFL wild-card teams will be fighting to keep their Super Bowl dreams alive.

The four NFC and four AFC division champions and six wild-card teams - the three non-division winners with the best records in each conference - will compete in a single elimination tournament. The final four will play in the AFC and NFC championship games on Jan.

Are the Chiefs due for a fall? Is Jayden Daniels ready for his spotlight? Who will win it all in Super Bowl LIX? Expect the unexpected.
