NFL Playoffs 2018 Wild-Card Weekend TV Schedule and Preview
The 2018 NFL playoffs have a vastly different look than in years past, giving wild-card weekend an extra air of excitement and unpredictability.
Eight of this season’s 12 playoff teams—Eagles, Vikings, Rams, Saints, Panthers, Jaguars, Titans and Bills—didn’t make the playoffs last season, and both the Eagles and Jaguars went from worst to first in their divisions. Playoff droughts also ended for the Bills (last appearance 1999), Rams (2004), Jaguars (2007) and Titans (2008).
Wild-card weekend action begins Saturday, Jan. 6, with Titans at Chiefs on ESPN (simulcast on ABC), followed by Falcons at Rams on NBC in primetime. Sunday afternoon has Bills at Jaguars on CBS, followed by Panthers at Saints on FOX.
