I understand that it’s Tom Brady versus the NFC East which is by far the most popular division in the NFL but the Colts and the Bills always felt like that was going to be the best game we saw all weekend. Not that the other two games weren’t entertaining.
Also, I saw a lot of talk about how Wild Card weekend is the best weekend of sports. Is it even the best weekend of the playoffs? I’ll take the Divisional round. Also, the first weekend of March Madness and the Masters takes the cake for the best weekend in sports.

The San Francisco 49ers might have missed out on the playoffs, but there are plenty of familiar faces that will be playing this weekend and the coming weeks.
Here are the former 49ers in each playoff game:
Saturday
Indianapolis Colts (11-5) vs Buffalo Bills (13-3) at 10:05 a.m.
The Colts have just one former 49er, but he’s a big one. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (2016-2019) was named first-team All-Pro on Friday. He’ll try to stop the high-powered Buffalo offense on Saturday.
The Bills have two former 49ers in backup quarterback Matt Barkley (2017) and practice squad guard Jordan Devey (2015). Neither are likely to play.
