NFL playoff schedule: See the final seedings and matchups for wild-card round
Jan 3, 2016 at 7:55p ET

The final day of the NFL regular season did not disappoint.

The AFC playoff picture ended up much different by day's end than it looked when Sunday kicked off, with the Steelers swiping the No. 6 seed from the Jets and the Broncos vaulting up to the No. 1 overall seed after beating the Chargers and seeing New England lose in Miami.

Over in the NFC, the Seahawks put the whole league on notice with a 36-6 stomping of NFC West champion Arizona. Seattle will be a wild-card team that no one wants to play. The Panthers won to move to 15-1 and locked up home-field advantage until the Super Bowl.

Sunday night's de facto NFC North championship game went to the Minnesota Vikings. That means the Vikings get the No. 3 seed and will host the Seattle Seahawks next week. The Green Bay Packers go on the road to Washington to face the Redskins.

The playoff game dates, times and TV information are still not yet determined, but below are the matchups. We'll update with all the remaining information as it becomes available.

Looking at the above chart, if the Steelers beat the Bengals, looks like they'd face Denver, since Steelers are the lowest seed. Doesn't look as though it would be possible to play the *'s until the conference championship, should they advance there.

we are the lowest seed so aren't we facing the Broncos regardless of who else wins?

Yup...if we win in Cincy, then we head up to the Rockies with no Ryan Clark. I heard that the Broncos will be playing in the last game of the divisional round, the late afternoon game on Sunday the 17th.
