What a weird season for the NFC South, but in the end, the Carolina Panthers were the division winners. Now, going into the offseason, all four of these teams have tough work to do this offseason, so let’s start the preview.
This was a very disappointing season for the Buccaneers. Instead of repeating their NFC South dominance of recent years and QB Baker Mayfield proving to be a real franchise QB, the team was a shell of its old self. Mayfield struggled throughout the season, the run game fell apart at times, and the coaching was...

The New England Patriots host the Los Angeles Chargers in the third of three Wild Card playoff games today. The Pats make their first appearance back in the playoffs since the end of the Brady/Belichick era, while the Bolts are looking to avoid another disappointing playoff exit. This matchup should make for a good end to the second day of the 2026 NFL Playoffs!

The Philadelphia Eagles host the San Francisco 49ers in the second of three Wild Card playoff games today. This is a matchup of the two NFC Champions over the past three years. This matchup should be a good way to continue the second day of the 2026 NFL Playoffs!

The Jacksonville Jaguars host the Buffalo Bills in the first of three Wild Card playoff games today. Buffalo enters this game as a slight road favorite, while Jacksonville comes in as the AFC South Champion with a chip on their shoulder. This matchup should be a fun start to the second day of the 2026 NFL Playoffs!

New Orleans Saints’ wide receiver Chris Olave has been named a member of the 2025 AP NFL All-Pro Second-Team Offense. The recognition comes after the star wideout burst onto the scene as the top pass catcher in New Orleans with career highs across the board in his fourth year in the league. While this marks the first time that he has received the All-Pro nod, it only just solidifies what Saints fans have known and the rest of the NFL is coming to realize- Olave is him.
Just a year ago, Olave played in just eight regular-season games after suffering...

The Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers in the second of two Wild Card playoff games today. These two NFC North arch-rivals have the longest-standing rivalry in the NFL and the next chapter continues here. These teams split the season series, including a Game of the Year contender in Week 16, but this rubber match is clearly the most important game of all. This matchup should provide a great end to day one of the 2026 NFL Playoffs!

The Carolina Panthers host the Los Angeles Rams in the first of two Wild Card playoff games today. Carolina enters this game having backed into the NFC South title, while Los Angeles dropped from first in the NFC to fifth, by losing two of their last three games. This is a rematch of one of the most surprising upsets of the season, when Carolina upset the Rams at home in Week 13. This matchup could provide a great start to start the 2026 NFL Playoffs!
