Useless trivia time: If this bracket played out as predicted, it would be the first time since the NFL playoff format went to a 6 team playoff format in 1990 that every division champ won on wild card weekend in consecutive years. Additionally, this would be only the fifth time all home teams have won on wild card weekend since the aforementioned bracket change. Perhaps as a somewhat worrying sign to the NFL's unceasing desire for parity in the league, each previous instance has occurrred since the turn of the century (2000, 2006, 2011, 2016). Additionally, each of those years featured one #1 seed being upset in the divisional round.
