NFL Wildcard Assignments

Does anyone know if the Wildcard game officiating crews were assigned as a crew? Or, were they assigned individually to make a up a "new" crew?

Will this weekend's crews be combined crews as well?  Are playoff crews now made up of officials rated by position then? 
Thanks

The first two rounds are assigned to the top 8 graded crews.  However, officials that are assigned a championship game or are otherwise unqualified (due to being a rookie or having low grades) are removed from the game and replaced by officials from other crews.  No officials other than those working the Super Bowl can work 2 playoff games.  The Conference Championship and Super Bowl assignments are made based on individual grades.
