The NFL playoffs wrapped up its first day of action, with two Wild Card round games in the books. Sunday features two more games before we move on to the Divisional round.

The Tennessee Titans started the playoffs by digging out of a 18-point hole to come back and beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 22-21. Leading the way was running back Derrick Henry who rumbled to 156 yards on 23 carries.

Then in the next game, the No. 6 seed Atlanta Falcons traveled across the country to knock off the Los Angeles Rams with a 26-13 win.

The Falcons advance to play the Philadelphia Eagles next week, while the Titans will have to wait until Sunday to find out their next opponent.
