When is kickoff time for the NFC wild-card games? How to watch Eagles vs. Buccaneers
The final day of the NFL's wild card weekend features both an AFC and NFC matchup. The NFC showdown will be between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles (11-6) struggled in the second half of the season. After many people assumed the Eagles were bound to return to the Super Bowl after a 10-1 start to the year. However, the Eagles have lost five of their last six and, in turn, now travel to Tampa Bay for the wild card round.
The Buccaneers (9-8) snuck into the playoffs thanks to winning five of their last six. However, close victories over teams like the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers don't inspire much confidence. Regardless, this is still a team playing their best football of the season at the right time.
