🏈 One Harbaugh Moves On, One Goes Home

What a busy day for the Harbaugh family, how do you think the parents split it? One in Baltimore, one in Houston?

Chargers vs Texans: Honestly, I was a little disappointed in this one. Not because I’m a Texans hater or anything, quite the opposite, I actually love CJ Stroud. I just was really looking forward to seeing Justin Herbert play on a big stage. Unfortunately for me, Justin Herbert played on a big stage, and it did not go well. Herbert threw four interceptions, two of which were returned for Texans touchdowns. Herbert threw three interceptions the whole entire regular season. The only shining star for the Chargers was their rookie WR Ladd McConkey, who had 9 receptions, 197 yards, and a touchdown.

On the other side of the ball was the Houston Texans, the team everyone seemed to have written off and made the underdog going into this one, show up, and show out. CJ Stroud was great, he was accurate and lead the offense well, while Joe Mixon pounded the rock like he always does. It was the defense that really stepped up, holding the Chargers to only 12 points. It was a beautiful day to be a Houston Texans fan.

Ravens vs Steelers: I’m not one to say I saw something coming, because that just feels played out, but I saw this one coming. Pittsburgh was on a downward trajectory in the latter half of the season and the offense was not only inconsistent but down right putrid at times. That was the Pittsburgh offense that came to play yesterday. They managed to play better in the second half, but it was too little too late.

Lamar Jackson was the magician he was, running and throwing his way to a big game. He had 175 yards through the air and another 81 on the ground. The real star was Derrick Henry, who broke the Ravens single game playoff record with 186 yards on the ground, he also added 2 touchdowns. He looked like the Henry of five years ago, running hard and punishing Steelers defenders.
