NFL playoffs: Divisional round questions, overreactions
"Look, Nix certainly wasn't perfect Saturday. Yeah, he was 26-for-46 for 279 yards and three touchdown passes. Yeah, he threw the go-ahead touchdown pass with 55 seconds left in regulation. And yeah, he made a couple of really pretty deep throws in overtime that were flagged for pass interference to set up Wil Lutz's game-winning field goal. But there were absolutely stretches of this game where it looked like Nix was a bigger part of the problem than the solution."
"What are the main lessons and takeaways from each divisional round matchup, and what's next for these teams? We asked national NFL reporter Dan Graziano and NFL analyst Ben Solak to help size up every matchup from the second round and look forward from all angles. For each divisional round game, Solak is answering one big remaining question and Graziano is judging the legitimacy of one potential overreaction."
The Broncos defeated the Bills in overtime on a 23-yard field goal by Wil Lutz. Bo Nix completed 26 of 46 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns, threw the go-ahead touchdown with 55 seconds remaining and produced deep overtime throws nullified by pass-interference calls. Nix showed both clutch moments and stretches of inconsistency that affected the game's flow. The divisional round continued with additional matchups, including 49ers-Seahawks. Each game raised questions about team trajectories, exposed specific strengths and weaknesses, and prompted evaluations of whether postseason reactions were warranted.
