A look at the wild-card round schedule and how things sit for the Dallas Cowboys’ first trip to the playoffs since 2018. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys have earned the No. 3 seed in the NFC and will face off against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC wild card. That game will take place on Sunday at 3:20 p.m. Central. The contest will be televised on CBS.

The game is of course part of the NFL’s Super Wild Card Weekend, which for the first time ever will feature games across three different days of action. With seven teams making the dance in each conference, only the No. 1 seed gets a bye week now and the other 12 teams will all square off next weekend.

There will be two games on Saturday, a Sunday triple header and for the first time ever, a planned Monday Night Football matchup.

Here’s a look at the seeding in both the NFC and the AFC.
