There are 13 total playoff games, making each one a sparkler, a most lucrative piece of NFL inventory.

SEATTLE — As reporters filed into Aaron Boone’s office at T-Mobile Park, the Yankees manager found himself staring at the small TV hanging below the ceiling in the far corner of the room. Boone watched in amazement as the monitor flashed a replay of Aaron Judge’s eighth-inning home run robbery.
