After a dangerous snowstorm blew through upstate New York, Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers fans were forced to wait an extra 24 hours to watch their teams face off in the NFL's wild card round. Still, after both of these teams faced a lot of uncertainty about their playoff hopes heading into Week 18, both teams are likely just glad to be playing this weekend at all.
The Bills (11-6) needed a big win over their division rivals, the Miami Dolphins, in the final week of the regular season in order to secure their fourth straight division title. That win was their fifth straight to end the regular season. Collectible Card
The Steelers (10-7) have had a very tumultuous season. Although fans love to mock the team for their lackluster offense, their defense has once again stepped up to be one of the league's best, carrying them to another season over .500 and a playoff berth. Pittsburgh may be relying on their third-string quarterback, but they've managed some very impressive wins throughout the season over the likes of the Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams, Green Bay Packers, and Cleveland Browns. They are not to be underestimated.
