With their 28-0 upset win over the No. 3 seeded Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns will travel to Arrowhead Stadium next weekend to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round.
Behind four interceptions from Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the Browns were able to claim their first playoff win since the Bill Belichick era in Cleveland.
From the first snap, the Browns were in control and they didn t let up. Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns on 21 completions. Running back Nick Chubb recorded 18 carries for 76 yards while former Chief Kareem Hunt carried the ball eight times for 48 yards and two touchdowns.

Despite a phenomenal season from the 13-3
Buffalo Bills, they weren’t their usual selves in a surprisingly-close matchup with the 11-5
Indianapolis Colts in the wildcard round of the NFL playoffs.
While the Colts were down eleven points at one stage, they would not die against an excellent Bills team, consistently coming back within just a few points of the hosts. But when the game was on the line, on a ‘Hail Mary’ attempt into the end-zone, the Colts came up just short.

Dan Patrick believes the lack of home field advantage the Steelers and Seahawks normally enjoy may have cost them over the weekend. Dan postulates that fans truly make a difference and, while the Steelers and Seahawks may not have won, it’s easy to see how things could have been different with raucous crowds filling their stadiums. These teams have come to rely on their fans so much that losing them entirely puts them at a severe disadvantage.

Carlton Davis III jumped from non-participant, to limited, to full participation throughout the week in preparation for Washington, an indication that he could be active.
