49ers, Bills, Texans-Steelers winner face a short week

The days, but not the times or the networks, have been set for the divisional round. And there is a clear disparity when it comes to the time between games, for multiple teams.The Broncos, with 14 days off, will face the banged-up Bills only six days after Buffalo's win at Jacksonville. The Bills, in their reduced time, will have to travel home from Buffalo and travel to Denver for their next game.Of course, that became unavoidable given the NFL's decision to stage a wild-card game on Monday night, once the playoffs expanded to 14 teams and the wild-card round grew from four games to six. The Texans-Steelers winner has to play on Sunday (which is still a short week, but not Monday-Saturday). With the Patriots winning, they'll host the winner of Monday night's game on Sunday. The Bills-Broncos game had to happen on Saturday.In the NFC, the short week for the 49ers was avoidable. The Rams and Bears both played on Saturday. Having them play the following Saturday would give both a full week. By putting that game on Sunday, the NFL has required the 49ers to fly home from Philly on Sunday night and to fly to Seattle for a Saturday game.As Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy...
