2016 season - all 4 were 2+ score wins.
I'd say the problem here was maybe expectation vs reality. NE and AZ somewhat surprisingly rolled over, Dallas didn't turn up until too late, while Pitt and Philly were what we expected. The only game that was closer than many expected was LV v Cincy, and to be fair had Cincy got TDs instead of FGs, that would have gone as expected.
in the 'old days' you had 12 of 32 teams in the playoffs. The WC's were teams that were almost division champs in some cases. Now you have teams like 49ers (no disrespect to them) that finished 3rd in their division. More teams in the playoffs = more likelihood of mismatches.
