Pittsburgh @ Baltimore 8:00 pm ET

So the Ravens will face the Steelers for the third time after splitting with them in the regular season. At least it is a home game. Honestly there is no way the Ravens should lose... if they stick to their game.

Usually in the first round you get two or three blowouts as the pretenders are separated from true contenders and maybe one or two close games.

Anzelone coming back was scary, but huge! I’m so happy he didn’t re-injure that arm!

It was pretty well known that KC was going to rest their starters for this game. They had nothing to gain by winning and nothing to lose by losing.

Rogers is reportedly going to sign with Titans next year.

It wasn't so much that he had to beat the Rams, he got 2 million for each of three incentives. Thus, 6 million dollars.

Completion Percentage: Smith had already reached a completion percentage of 70.2% for the season. He maintained a completion rate above 69.755% during the game, securing a $2 million bonus.

Passing Yards: Entering the game, Smith needed 186 more passing yards to reach 4,282 yards for the season. He finished with 223 passing yards, earning another $2 million bonus.

Team Wins: By leading the Seahawks to their 10th win of the season, Smith secured the final $2 million incentive.

Geno Smith Incentives

Rams & Texans are home dogs ... no surprise.

Weather forecasts show no extreme weather events at this point.

Rogers is reportedly going to sign with Titans next year.

Gawd knows the Titans need a QB. But Rodgers provides a short-term solution at best. And his numbers for this year were no better than Zack Wilson's for the Jets last year. Will he be worth it?

And a Monday night playoff game? Whomever wins will be playing on a short week, seems an unnecessary handicap.

That would be my guess too. Rogers would be a short term solution. He would win a few games while the team is developing another QB.
