The schedule for the first two rounds of the 2013 NFL playoffs was released on Sunday night. Let's take a look:
Saturday, Jan. 4
Sunday, Jan. 5
Saturday, Jan. 11
Sunday, Jan. 12
Quick thoughts ...
» Special shout-out to the Bengals, who finally got a Sunday wild-card game after playing on Saturday in three of the past four seasons. Perhaps this will change their luck.

» The Niners and Packers will almost surely get the Joe Buck/Troy Aikman treatment next Sunday. Lambeau will be on fire.
» The Broncos get the final game of divisional weekend. They were the No. 1 seed in the AFC last year as well, but pulled the early Saturday game. Rahim Moore has expressed his wish that we stop here.
» The Patriots last played the Saturday night divisional game on Jan. 14, 2012. That also doubled as the unofficial death of Tebowmania.
