Bye team facing only wild cards

Post by Crazy Packers Fan »

The Packers are going to the NFC Championship Game to play against a second straight wild card opponent. I was trying to think, in the bye era (1990-present), have any other teams played only wild cards in their two conference playoff games? (Obviously Green Bay can't play a wild card in the Super Bowl now.)

KC last year ... though Houston won the division.

Are you saying non-division wild card teams ?

It would be interesting with bye teams taking on only 5th and sixth, now 7th seeds since realignment.
