“NFL PLAYOFFS…WINNING GREAT…LOSING HURTS”
============
RAMS-BEARS..Bitter cold weather….Stone cold Chicago defense that got heated up…Rams started hot and then Matthew Stafford could not complete passes-went (8-18) in one stretch…Caleb Williams struggled early and then started hitting passes…Rams defense came up big with an overtime interception in at 22…Had prior 4th down stops of Bears drives at the 1-2-and-30….Chicago tied game on desperation 45-yard TD heave with (:18) left in game to tie it…but failed to get into scoring position to win in OT…Gut check win for Rams…Gut wrenching loss for young Bears team.
SEAHAWKS-SAN FRANCISCO…Seattle showed it was a complete team…the Niners showed they were living on borrowed time with all the injuries…It was awful at the start, the Seattle 95Y-TD return of the opening kickoff and it got worse…Then it became 17-0 and then 31-6 and finally 41-6…Seattle slam-bammed their way to the win behind RB-Kennent Walker..and the defense rough-housed the Niners from start to finish with 3-takeaways and 3-fourth down stops..The season long run from all the injuries finally caught up with the Niners…The message in the Pacific Northwest-a warrior type Seahawks team.
BRONCOS-BILLS…A game that was a winner to watch but everyone came out a loser…Gut wrenching for the Broncos to lose QB-Bo Nix on a meaningless kneel down play in the 4th quarter…Heart breaking to see Josh Allen do what he did, lead the 17-point comeback but then see his team self destruct in an avalanche of 5-turnovers..And of course the raging argument..catch-no catch-interception costing Buffalo the chance at a game winning OT field goal…The Bills outgunned the Orange Crush defense, putting up (494Y) in the loss…Denver now has to find a way to win with journeyman backup QB-Jarret Stidham.
PATRIOTS-TEXANS…Headline should read QBs under siege…Somehow Drake Maye survived…CJ Stroud self destructed…Phenomenal TD catches by Boutte-Diggs…Horrific 4-interception first half by the Texans QB…Heroic defensive effort by Will Anderson and the Houston defense (5-sacks..9-tackles for losses…holding the Pats 3-for-14 on third downs)..but all they got was a loss…So much for the Houston 10-game win streak…Another Sunday to play for the (16-3) Pats.
