AFTER LAST NIGHT’S drama, the NFL playoff picture is finally complete and the road to Super Bowl XLVIII (that’s 48 for you non-Romans) is a little bit clearer.

The defending champions the Ravens are out, as are the Bears and the Cowboys — but the Packers and the Eagles are still alive and in the hunt.

What does it all mean? Well for football fans on this side of the water, it means plenty of late Saturday and Sunday nights over the next few weekends.
