Divisional Showdowns: Which Dark Horse Is Poised to Upset the NFL Playoff Favorites?

New England, meanwhile, won for the 14th time in 15 games with Sunday’s 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. 

The second-seeded Patriots limited the Chargers to 207 total yards of offense, 3.5 yards per play, held them to just 1 for 10 on third downs and sacked Justin Herbert six times to punch their ticket into the divisional round for the first time since winning Super Bowl LIII in February 2019.

Not to be outdone 24 hours later in Pittsburgh, the fifth-seeded Texans permitted a mere 175 yards to the Steelers, 3.1 yards per play, stopped 12 of 14 third-down attempts and sacked Aaron Rodgers four times. They also became the first team since the 1940 Chicago Bears to score multiple defensive touchdowns without surrendering a TD in a playoff game.
