Whoever loses the "Sunday Night Football" battle will fall to the No. 5 seed in the NFC and will likely not have a home game in the playoffs. They will also hit the road in the Wild Card round to face the Los Angeles Rams, who fell to the No. 4 seed after a loss to the Seahawks and the Buccaneers' win over the Saints.
