Why are the Rams playing the Seahawks?

and the Vikes playing the Packers? I thought the division winner didn't play the wild card winner from its own division?

NFL playoffs are a seeded tournament. They go by seeds now.

thats the way they do it in baseball...

But it is kinda weird having so many matchups in the first round, of teams that already played this year, and in these 2 cases, 2 teams that were swept by the other...

Also have Denver/Indy rematch, and a Jets/San Diego rematch..

Kinda odd..
