The NFL playoffs are in full swing. The wild-card round came and went this past weekend, and on tap is the divisional round, which features four games between eight teams.
Having lost in recent days, the Los Angeles Chargers, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings find themselves in a state of reflection and assessment as their offseasons begin sooner than they would have liked.
Another 18 NFL teams didn’t even make the playoffs. Some appear capable of rebounding and rejoining the ranks of the contenders next season — if they make the right moves this spring. Others have a ways to go before they can even sniff the postseason.
