The 2022 NFL regular season has come to an end, which means it’s now time for the playoffs. 12 teams have qualified for the postseason, and two of those teams will not play in the first round since they have a bye. This weekend marks the beginning of the road to Super Bowl LVII which takes place on Feb. 12.
One notable player that will be competing this weekend is Tom Brady who led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl win two years ago. “Yeah, I feel there’s a lot urgency naturally this week,” he said, per the Buccaneers’ official website. “Everyone knows what we’re playing for; you’re playing for a chance to move on. There’s no, ‘Oh, we were close,’ or, ‘It was almost there. Two more plays.’ Look at two seasons ago – we ended up winning it all [and] there was a lot of really close plays. Last year, it comes down to plays at the end of the game that they made and we didn’t.” Here’s a look at how to watch all the Super Wild Card Weekend games.
