Matt Roberts introduces highlights from the NFL wild card weekend, as the route to Super Bowl XLIV takes shape. The regular season is complete and the competition splits in two, with the top six finishers in both the AFC and NFC divisions securing a play-off place.

The reward for the AFC and NFC's top two seeds is a week off, so attention and pressure is applied to the eight remaining teams. The wild card winners progress to the divisional play-offs held the next weekend, while the losers are eliminated, and their hopes of lifting the Vince Lombardi trophy dashed for another year.
