2015 NFL Playoff bracket: Divisional round up next
The Divisional round of the 2015 NFL playoffs is right around the corner after the Wild Card round wrapped up on Sunday.
Wild Card weekend is now a thing of the past and the field of teams in the 2015 NFL playoffs has been whittled down to eight. The Divisional round is next, with the top seeds in both conferences playing host to the Wild Card winners. Saturday's games saw the Carolina Panthers beat the Arizona Cardinals and the Baltimore Ravens surprise the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sunday's games had a bit more drama, though the Indianapolis Colts didn't struggle to take down the Cincinnati Bengals in the early game for the AFC. It was Sunday night's game between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions that had the most drama -- a big defensive pass interference penalty was called, and then taken back by the referees. That allowed the Cowboys to take the lead and the victory.
Next up, we've got the Divisional round, beginning with the AFC matchup between the Ravens and New England Patriots on Saturday afternoon. Later, the Panthers will take on the NFC's top seed, the Seattle Seahawks, on Saturday night. On Sunday, the Cowboys will play the Green Bay Packers, while the Denver Broncos will host the Colts.
