Maybe it was the absence of all those high-powered offenses on byes. Perhaps it was the jitters for some younger teams, particularly their quarterbacks: Deshaun Watson, Mitchell Trubisky and Lamar Jackson. Or maybe defense actually still has a place in the NFL, especially in the playoffs.

The most points anyone scored during wild-card weekend was the Dallas Cowboys with their 24-22 win over the one-and-done Seattle Seahawks.

The Philadelphia Eagles escaped with a 16-15 comeback in Chicago. Clang!

In the Chargers 23-17 win at Baltimore Los Angeles forced three turnovers and held the Ravens to 229 total yards, 90 on the ground.

And the Indianapolis Colts shutdown the Houston Texans 21-7.

Here's a look at the upcoming NFL Divisional Playoffs:

AFC
(6) Indianapolis Colts at (1) Kansas City Chiefs
(5) Los Angeles Chargers at (2) New England Patriots

NFC
