Wild Card Pick 6: The biggest takeaways from a brutal weekend.

1. Clock Management Disasters: Both the Panthers and Jaguars lost by scoring too fast on potential game-winning drives. "The clock is your damn friend!"

2. Rivalry Renewed: The Packers-Bears hate is alive, with Bears OC Ben Johnson summing it up: "Fuck the Packers. Fucking hate those guys."

3. Brady's Clone? Drake Maye led the Patriots to their first playoff win since 2018, ending a seven-year drought.

4. Jauan Jennings, Perfect Passer: The 49ers' WR has a perfect 158.3 playoff passer rating on trick plays, including a wind-defying TD throw to CMC.

5. Rodgers' Meltdown: Aaron Rodgers generated more points for the Texans (14) via pick-six and fumble-six than for his own Packers (6), in one of the worst games of his career.
