2016 National Football League playoff schedule and bracket: Steelers advance to face Broncos after wild game in Cincinnati – SBNation.com After a tense bout, the Steelers are heading to the Divisional round to play the Broncos. Unfortunately for Kansas City, Maclin was injured in a 30-0 rout of the Texans on Saturday in Houston. Boswell drilled his fourth field goal of the game to give the Steelers their first playoff win since the 2010 AFC championship game.
Following the game there were questions on Tom Brady’s future, is it time for the Jimmy Garoppolo era to begin and the Patriots’ overall status.
On the season, the Kansas City Chiefs average 203.4 yards in passing and 127.8 yards in rushing. “I think you look at it, there are things we can take from it, there are some things that I’d say are somewhat outdated just based on the players and personnel, the situation and that kind of thing”. Quarterback Brian Hoyer accounted for four turnovers by throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble, the receivers had drops at inopportune times, and the tight ends might as well stayed put at the line of scrimmage and blocked since they couldn’t make a catch if their lives depended on it.
However, the Chiefs suffered a blow in the third quarter when receiver Jeremy Maclin went down with a leg injury, before Texans’ defensive end J.J. Watt suffered the same fate not long after.
“I think next year going to be a big, big season for me”, he said.
“And the job they’ve done there, the accomplishments they’ve had, they’ve made history”, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. When you add Peters, a ball-hawking cornerback chosen in the first round, the defense gets a whole lot stouter.
“If you beat a team”, he said, “In the back of your mind, you’re like, ‘Why can’t we do this again?'”
In 2015, Houston’s defense held opponents to under 10 points for six games and four teams without a touchdown: Tennessee, Cincinnati, New Orleans, and Jacksonville.
The Texans managed just 226 total yards in the first home playoff loss in team history.
Maclin is the Chiefs best wideout and without him, the Chiefs offense will be hampered.
