EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The NFL postseason is set to begin and, once again, the field in the NFC includes a pair of teams the St. Louis Rams see twice a year in the NFC West in the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks.

Elsewhere in the playoffs, the Rams also played the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. The action all gets underway Saturday with two games then and two more on Sunday.
