The 2022 divisional round of the NFL playoffs could be remembered as one for the ages.
Four games, four last-minute finishes.
Two No. 1 seeds eliminated on the first day.
Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers sent home for the winter.
The Chiefs’ historic 13-second march leading to an overtime victory, which led to calls for a change in OT rules.
Here’s a look at how social media reacted to the four divisional-round games:
