Wild Card Weekend Outlook

>>Vikings, Packers Rematch At Lambeau

(Green Bay, WI) -- Longtime division rivals meet in an NFC Wild Card Game as the Minnesota Vikings play the Green Bay Packers Saturday night at Lambeau Field. It's a rematch of Sunday's regular-season finale at the Metrodome. Minnesota had to beat Green Bay to get into the playoffs and pulled out a 37-34 win on Blair Walsh's 29-yard field goal as time expired. Christian Ponder threw three touchdown passes and Adrian Peterson rushed for 199 yards for the Vikes, who claimed the NFC's sixth seed at 10-and-6. Aaron Rodgers threw for 365 yards and four scores for the Packers, who failed to claim the conference's second seed and a first-round bye. Green Bay had already clinched the NFC North title and finished 11-and-5. The Packers beat the Vikings 23-14 at home in Week 13.

>>Four NFL Games On Tap For Wild Card Weekend

(Undated) -- The NFL will feature four Wild Card games this weekend as the playoffs begin. The Houston Texans host the Cincinnati Bengals at 4:30 Eastern Saturday in a rematch of last year's Wild Card round. Houston won the AFC South while the Bengals earned a wild card berth. A victory for the Texans sends them to New England while a Cincinnati win vaults them into a matchup with the Broncos.

On Sunday, the Ravens host the Indianapolis Colts in Baltimore for a 1:00 Eastern kickoff. The game will have added emotion after Ravens future Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis announced earlier this week his intentions to retire at the end of the season. Indy is 2-and-0 all-time in the postseason against the team from its former hometown. At 4:30 Eastern, a pair of rookie quarterbacks hook up outside the nation's capital as the Washington Redskins host the Seattle Seahawks. 'Skins QB Robert Griffin the Third led Washington to the NFC East title while Seattle's Russell Wilson has the 'Hawks in the postseason on a wild card berth.
