Live Updates: Denver Broncos vs. Buffalo Bills in NFL Wild Card Round

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins jumps into the end zone for a touchdown during the playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday, Jan. 11, in Houston.

We’re already two games into the NFL postseason and so far the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens have advanced from this Wild Card weekend.

The Houston Texans overcame a slow start and early mistakes to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in a chaotic AFC wild-card playoff matchup at NRG Stadium.

Although the Texans’ offense struggled early, their defense intercepted Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert four times and held them at bay until their own offense came to life at the end of the first half.

Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens and their star duo Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson secured their Super Bowl title with a 28:14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Henry and Jackson highlighted a Baltimore running attack that racked up a team postseason record 299 yards. Henry ran for 186 yards on 26 hard carries and repeatedly punished the Steeler defense with hard runs right into the teeth of the defensive line. He found the right seams, breaking for a long touchdown run and a shorter bruiser for his two points.

Jackson was now as electrifying as only he can be. He ran 15 times for 81 yards and also completed 16 of 21 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns. The raucous 70,000 fans at M&T Bank Stadium regularly serenaded their star with chants of “MVP!” And it’s hard to argue that anyone else is truly better than the dual-threat quarterback when he’s at his best.
