Summary
Richard Sherman reacts to an action-packed AFC Wild Card Weekend, breaking down the Houston Texans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, and New England Patriots vs. Los Angeles Chargers. Sherm analyzes the Houston Texans’ defensive dominance against Pittsburgh, what went wrong for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, how Josh Allen and the Bills took control of their playoff matchup, Trevor Lawrence’s postseason performance for the Jaguars, and what the Patriots–Chargers game revealed about both teams moving forward. From quarterback play and coaching decisions to defensive matchups and playoff pressure, Sherm delivers his unfiltered analysis on which AFC teams are built for a deep NFL postseason run to the Super Bowl — and which franchises face major offseason questions.
