The NFL has announced the schedule for the first round of the playoffs, and just as they’ve done in previous years, Wildcard Weekend will extend to Monday Night Football.
Only the two top seeds in each Conference, the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC and the Denver Broncos in the AFC, will receive a first-round bye. All the other playoff teams will be playing, and after the games, the lowest remaining seed in each Conference will travel to play the top seed.
Here’s the schedule; all times Central.
