According to the NFL, this year’s playoffs have already set a record for most fourth quarter lead changes, with a staggering 12 lead changes in the first round of the postseason alone.
The Buffalo Bills captured a win in a back-and-forth affair with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while the Chicago Bears erased an 18-point deficit in beating the Green Bay Packers, shattering a team record for biggest comeback in a playoff game.

NFC Divisional Round Matchups
The NFC playoffs will head to the Pacific Northwest on Saturday night when the Seattle Seahawks, the top seed in the conference, welcome the San Francisco 49ers to town in a divisional battle.
The Seahawks beat the 49ers in the final week of the regular season to secure the top seed in the NFC, but the 49ers kept their playoff hopes alive by defeating the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles over the weekend.
Unfortunately for the 49ers that win came at a steep cost, as star tight end George Kittle tore his Achilles tendon, and will be out for the remainder of the playoffs.
The Seahawks meanwhile had one of the NFL’s best offenses, finishing in the top-10 in the league in yards per game and third in the league in points per game with 28.4.
In the second game of the divisional round, the Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams in what is expected to be a frigid contest Sunday at Soldier Field, with kickoff set for 5:30 p.m. on NBC.
According to Pro Football Reference, teams that play their home games in domed stadiums have not fared well in cold weather playoff games, posting a 2-15 record in outdoor games with a kickoff temperature below freezing since 2000.
