Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Omg, that is so horrifying! I feel like the operators failed here!!
Omggg! Does this actually happen? Don't the 911 people send someone over to have a look when the call is ended just like that?
ooooh wow. Well done, Paul.
This is all too realistic unfortunately… but it’s a phenomenal story. Great stuff.
If only...what more is there to say?!?
Unnerving. Unsettling for everyone involved.
This was heartbreaking and a sad reality to so many abuse victims. You captured this tragedy perfectly. Ugh, fin.
Fabulous, very effective!!!
Hardhitting 😞 Very well done 👏
Good work, well done.
