- The Steelers will host the Houston Texans on Monday night in the Wild Card round, with Rodgers finishing 31-of-47 for 294 yards and a touchdown.
- Baltimore was eliminated, with Lamar Jackson throwing for 238 yards and three scores as All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton exited with a concussion, fueling questions about John Harbaugh’s direction.
- San Francisco lost 13-3 to Seattle, forfeiting the NFC West and top seed after being held under 200 yards and logging a season-high 18 missed tackles, and will open the postseason on the road in Philadelphia.
- 49ers injuries piled up as Dee Winters (ankle) and Tatum Bethune (groin) left the game and Brock Purdy sustained a shoulder stinger that is not expected to sideline him, while the Spurs showed depth with a 123-113 win in Indiana without Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell.
