The NFL’s first 18-week regular season in league history is all said and done, and it’s time for the playoffs.

After months of closely-contested games, tight races to divisional titles and Wild Card spots, and everything in between, NFL fans can officially rejoice as they prepare for the real fun to begin.

That fun includes an extra Wild Card team on either side of the bracket for the second year in a row and a historic Monday night playoff game, paving the way for the a star-studded “Super Wild Card Weekend” from January 15 through January 17.

Don’t worry, Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers fans. You’re safe (for now).

Meanwhile, 12 other teams will battle it out for spots in the Divisional Round, with the lowest remaining seeds in the AFC and NFC earning the right to face the Titans and Packers in Nashville and Green Bay, respectively.
