Cardinals vs. Panthers
Cam Newton ran and ran and ran and ran

Ryan Lindley wasn’t up to the monumental task ahead of him.

The Cardinals season was basically wiped out by injuries, for a moment there was a glimmer of hope

The Panthers were running in, around and through the Cards defense

Larry Fitzgerald should be in the Hall of Fame someday but he can’t win the entire game

Pro tip to Cam Newton. You won’t get away with plays like this against the Seahawks next week

Ravens vs. Steelers
Suggs was the bane of the Steelers universe, hell he even caught a ball between his legs and almost performed a decapitation…

Suggs killed a guy today, I saw that

There was some scrapping
Things are getting tense out there and Jason Worilds doesn’t care there’s a helmet in his way http://t.co/7iqu77aHxV #BALvsPIT

And Steelers fans hate everything…
Overheard “Suggs is some sort of demon from the nether planes, sent to this world specifically to fuck with the Steelers” #NFLWildcard #NFL — Deadhit Sports (@DeadhitSports) January 4, 2015
Even the real birds got in on the action…

Big Ben ran but the Steelers couldn’t get it together

Lions vs. Cowboys (Best Game of the Weekend)
Matt Stafford and the Lions looked amazing for the first half of the game
[gfycat data_id=”ThoughtfulLeadingBellfrog”]
[gfycat data_id=”FarflungScentedDorado”]
Tony Romo and the Cowboys we determined to not go down easily
[gfycat data_id=”YoungKeyEmu”]
Even Golden Tate got into the game

There were a few big calls and Twitter is on fire with controversy
Mike Pereira calls it like he sees it. The referees should not have reversed that decision, it did cost the Lions the game

For the record there is not a Lion in the entire state of Michigan as a Reddit User helpfully pointed out
We also wished we had the answer to this question from woofers02 on Reddit
And that was a wrap

Noses were also picked

Bengals vs. Colts
At first it looked like the Bengals were going to stay in the game, maybe Andy Dalton can up his 17.5 postseason QBR
[gfycat data_id=”ReflectingOilyIndianhare”]
Andrew Luck levelled up and may hit God status someday really soon, throwing on the run hitting connecting with Donte Moncrief for the 36 yard TD qualifies him for this
[gfycat data_id=”DescriptiveActiveDevilfish”]
The Colts were hot, the Bengals were not
[gfycat data_id=”AdorableAcrobaticAmericanlobster”]
There were moments of good (not great) ness
[gfycat data_id=”PaltryDisguisedBoaconstrictor”]
…and the frustration spilled over…
Focus on the game lads: Geno Atkins and Adam Jones almost come to blows #CINvsIND https://t.co/o7D0Xj0eEb
The Colts were hot and the Bengals were not
