On Saturday night against the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers saw their season come to an end, collapsing late in a 31-27 loss.

Today, however, there are three more games on Wild Card Sunday to decide another batch of teams that will advance to next week’s Divisional Playoffs. The third of three NFC teams to advance will be decided in the middle game, with a pair of big AFC games with intriguing quarterback matchups in the early and prime time slots.

After defeating the Packers, Chicago’s opponents next week will be determined by the result of that NFC game, which features the 6th-seeded 49ers against the 3rd-seeded Eagles. If Philadelphia wins, they will head to Chicago next week, but a 49ers win will send the [RAMS OR PANTHERS] to Soldier Field instead.
