    ESPN will televise a wild-card playoff game in January 2015, the first telecast of an NFL postseason game in the network's 35-year history.

    The NFL has the option to air a wild-card game on ESPN as part of the eight-year extension the network reached with the league in 2011, which began this spring, and has opted to do so this season.

    "We're thrilled to televise our first wild-card playoff game and we thank the NFL for the opportunity," ESPN president John Skipper said in a statement. "This game will be among the highest-rated programs of the year on cable and it is compelling content that will help us better serve football fans during the postseason."
