Welcome to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. Sports Illustrated reporters will be dotted throughout the continental United States providing game coverage and digging in depth for quality stories as we march toward Super Bowl LVII in Phoenix.
In this space, we’ll take some time to consider a few pressing questions about this weekend’s slate, who might impress and whom we might be overlooking. While we didn’t see that many surprises in terms of star power during wild-card weekend, the edges for each team get thinner and thinner as we go. That means bigger performances from bigger names, or breakout performances from people we may not know.
I’ll be joined by senior writers Michael Rosenberg and Greg Bishop, who are kind enough to provide their expertise from more collective NFL seasons combined than I have years (just kidding … almost).
