NFL playoffs: 11 key plays that decided the divisional round
"Young quarterbacks put some career highlights on their reel, and we even came pretty close to having three class of 2024 quarterbacks among the four starters in the conference championship games next weekend. Of course, we ended up with only one, as Bo Nix suffered a season-ending broken ankle late in the overtime win over the Bills, while Caleb Williams came up just short after an overtime interception helped the Rams pull out a victory in Chicago. The only quarterback from the 2024 draft class"
"Teams have found ways to attack the weak spots in the Denver defense by stretching the linebackers and getting them in space as a repeated target. The Bills had plenty of success there in this game. They used tosses and pin/pull sweeps to get the run game operating. Allen tormented the Broncos with his legs, including a 26-yard gain on the play before this fumble, when he feigned trying to escape the pocket to the left, drew Singleton that way"
Three quarterbacks from the 2024 draft class nearly reached conference championship starting roles; Bo Nix suffered a season-ending broken ankle, Caleb Williams threw an overtime interception, and Drake Maye underperformed despite New England’s win. Divisional outcomes turned on a series of pivotal plays and moments that shifted momentum in multiple games. The Bills repeatedly attacked Denver’s weak linebacker alignments by stretching them into space, using tosses, pin/pull sweeps, misdirection and eye-candy to activate the run game. Josh Allen used his rushing ability effectively, including a 26-yard scramble immediately before a subsequent fumble.
