According to the league and Nielsen, the six wild-card round games averaged 28.3 million viewers on television and digital platforms, compared to 31.2 million last year. The two Saturday games held steady, while the Sunday and Monday matchups saw declines.

The playoffs will kick off starting on Saturday and finishing days later, with six win-or-go-home games on the slate, and as we had last year, that includes a Monday night contest to finish it all up. As there was last year, there’s a streaming-only postseason game.

Wild Card Weekend is underway, which means there are already several winners and losers to sort out after Saturday's games. Judy Battista provides a look at who's up and who's down following the first day of the NFL playoffs.
