Full NFL playoff bracket released

The 2020 NFL playoff bracket is settled, and the wild card round is a mere six days away. The AFC side was settled by the end of the 4:25 p.m. games, while we had to until near midnight for the NFC side of the playoff picture. It was a wild day, but it sets up what should be a fun playoff bracket.

The Patriots blew a chance at the No. 2 seed and now have to play in the wild card round.
