The NFL postseason started frantically on Saturday night, as viewers were treated to two classic games. The first game saw the San Francisco 49ers trounce the Seattle Seahawks 42-23. The win marked the first postseason victory of the league's new poster boy, Brock Purdy, while signaling the end of Geno Smith's fairytale comeback story.

The second game saw the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Jacksonville, and boy, the game was a thriller. The Jaguars pulled off a historic comeback courtesy of a fantastic second-half showing from Trevor Lawrence, the 2021 draft's first overall pick, to send Justin Herbert and the Chargers home. Brandon Staley and his Chargers side will wonder what went wrong, and many questions will be asked about the second-year head coach moving forward.

There are a few top-notch matches to be played on Sunday as well, with the Miami Dolphins versus Buffalo Bills game headlining the night. In celebration of a compelling matchup, here's a look at the NFL Divisional Round scenario if the Bills lose to the Dolphins.

Tale of the NFL Wildcard Tape: The Buffalo Bills vs. the Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins head into this match on a rotten run of form. The Mike McDaniel-coached side broke a five-game losing streak with last week's win against the New York Jets. The win could have been more convincing, but they had to do without their QB1, Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins will be without Tua again in their NFL playoff matchup against the Bills, with rookie Skylar Thompson set to make his playoff debut.

In the other corner, the Buffalo Bills lie in wait, with the Super Bowl contenders on a fantastic seven-game winning streak. The Bills will play with fire in their belly, especially after the unfortunate Damar Hamlin incident that befell their franchise in week 17.

The Bills will be more than a handful for the Tua-less Dolphins, as they possess a decent defense and a high-powered offense. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle must be on their A-game if the Dolphins are to score points in this matchup.


Who will the Miami Dolphins play if they beat the Buffalo Bills?

The Miami Dolphins will face the Kansas City Chiefs if they beat the Buffalo Bills in their wildcard matchup. As the lowest seed, they would be guaranteed to take on the No. 1 seed.

The potential matchup would be an interesting one for Tyreek Hill, as he could be making a return to his old stomping ground.
