Week 1 of the playoffs is in the books. Minnesota, Green Bay, LA Chargers, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, and Denver seasons come to an end. An epic showdown takes place next weekend in Buffalo between the Bills and the Ravens. Baltimore had no trouble with Buffalo early in the year.Kansas City hosts Houston in a rematch of one of the few games KC didn’t win by less than a touchdown. Detroit hosts a hot Washington team that could give them a lot of problems. A healthy Detroit would easily win this game, but with their depleted defense, this one could be a shootout. Philadelphia will host the LA Rams in a rematch from earlier this year that Philadelphia won with ease.
