The NFL's divisional round showcased thrilling matchups, notably the Buffalo Bills' narrow victory over the Baltimore Ravens with a score of 27-25. Lamar Jackson's last-minute touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely set the stage for a potential overtime, but Mark Andrews' crucial drop on a two-point conversion attempt sealed Baltimore's fate. Meanwhile, Josh Allen's limited passing yardage was offset by his two rushing touchdowns, highlighting the Bills' resilience.
In the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Los Angeles Rams, 28-22, with Saquon Barkley's impressive 205 rushing yards leading the charge. The Eagles' defense held strong, thwarting a late-game drive by Matthew Stafford's Rams. Washington Commanders made headlines by defeating the top-seeded Detroit Lions 45-31, aided by their five forced turnovers and a standout performance by quarterback Jayden Daniels. Lastly, the Kansas City Chiefs continued their playoff quest with a 23-14 win over the Houston Texans, bolstered by Patrick Mahomes' touchdown connection with Travis Kelce.
