  • A.J. Brown WR | PHI

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Costly drops in playoff loss

    Brown caught three of seven targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game loss to the 49ers.

    Brown didn't have a catch after the first quarter, recording a couple of costly drops after that point, including one on Philadelphia's final drive of the season, which ended with a turnover on downs from San Francisco's 21-yard line. The enigmatic wide receiver was seen having an animated discussion with head coach Nick Sirianni on the sideline during the game. Brown expressed frustration with his target volume throughout the campaign despite finishing with a team-high 121 targets in the regular season, which he turned into 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns, but he came up short with his opportunities in the playoffs as the Eagles were eliminated in their first postseason matchup. Despite his love-hate relationship with the coaching staff, Brown likely isn't going anywhere since he's under contract through 2029.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Tops 100 yards in playoff loss

    Barkley rushed 26 times for 106 yards and caught three of six targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game loss to the 49ers.

    Barkley ripped off a 29-yard run on Philadelphia's second offensive play to help set up a one-yard Dallas Goedert rushing touchdown on the team's first drive, and the star running back topped 100 yards on the ground after doing so in only three of 16 regular-season games. Despite Barkley's best efforts, he suffered his first playoff loss in an Eagles uniform after winning Super Bowl LIX in his first season with the team. Barkley remains one of the league's best running backs and should maintain a workhorse role for the Eagles in his age-29 season.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Struggles in wild-card loss

    Hurts completed 20 of 35 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown while rushing five times for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game loss to the 49ers.

    Hurts connected with Dallas Goedert for a nine-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, but Philadelphia's offense turned the ball over on downs from San Francisco's 21-yard line with 43 seconds left in the fourth quarter when a Hurts pass intended for Goedert fell incomplete. Philadelphia's offensive inconsistencies persisted throughout the season and came back to bite the Eagles in the playoffs. Hurts threw for 3,224 yards and a 25:6 TD:INT to go with 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 16 regular-season games prior to Sunday's loss, which dropped his career playoff record to 6-4. He remains locked in as the Eagles' starting quarterback while playing on a five-year, $255 million contract signed in April of 2023.

  • Dawson Knox TE | BUF

    Bills' Dawson Knox: Three catches in wild-card win

    Knox caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over Jacksonville.

    Knox was able to finished tied for second on the team in catches with wide receiver Brandin Cooks and fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid. Knox made his largest impact in the fourth quarter, securing a 24-yard gain on his second catch of the day. The tight end has now reeled in at least one pass in 14 consecutive postseason contests dating back to 2020, and he'll look to extend that streak in next weekend's AFC divisional round.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: One snag in wild-card victory

    Coleman caught his only target for 36 yards in Sunday's 27-24 wild-card victory against the Jaguars.

    Coleman was expected to see an uptick in workload in the wild-card round with Joshua Palmer (ankle) sidelined, but that didn't materialize. The wide receiver did make the most of his only opportunity, though, notching a 36-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter. Coleman will attempt to have a larger impact on Buffalo's performance in the AFC divisional round next weekend.

  • Ray Davis RB | BUF

    Bills' Ray Davis: Special-teams impact in win

    Davis recorded four kickoff returns for 119 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars.

    Davis didn't garner any touches on offense as James Cook handled the entirety of the backfield work versus Jacksonville. Davis did return four kicks, the first of which he put on the ground, and it was recovered by the Jaguars. The running back will look to be more involved in the Bills' offensive attack in the AFC divisional round.

  • Patriots' Thayer Munford: Active for wild-card round

    Munford (knee) is active for Sunday night's wild-card matchup against the Chargers.

    Munford will be good to go for the beginning of the postseason after being considered questionable to play with a knee injury. The 26-year-old will operate as a top reserve option behind starters Will Campbell and Morgan Moses at offensive tackle versus Los Angeles.

  • Chargers' Del'Shawn Phillips: Ready to go for wild-card round

    Phillips (hamstring) is active for Sunday night's wild-card contest against the Patriots.

    Phillips will be good to go for the first round of the playoffs after opening the week on the sidelines at practice with a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old has developed into a rather substantial asset on special teams, and he'll look to make a splash play versus New England.

  • Austin Deculus OT | LAC

    Chargers' Austin Deculus: Unavailable for wild-card round

    Deculus (oblique) is inactive for Sunday night's wild-card contest against the Patriots, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Deculus is dealing with an apparent oblique injury, and he'll now be forced to miss the opening round of the postseason. In his absence, the Chargers' depth will be a little thin behind starting offensive tackles Jamaree Salyer and Trey Pipkins versus New England.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NE

    Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Emergency QB in wild-card round

    DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback in Sunday night's wild-card matchup against the Chargers.

    DeVito will be operating in his familiar role as the team's No. 3 option at QB as the postseason gets underway. The quarterback will only be able to enter the game if both starter Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs are forced out of the contest versus Los Angeles.
