NFL Playoffs: Five major talking points last weekend

The NFL took another interesting turn this weekend and it was all fun while it lasted and NetBet Nigeria we are all about the fun.

Hence, the reason we put together the best records from weekend’s American Football for fans who like betting on NFL.

In no order, we put together 5 of the best notable records set from Super Wild Card Weekend.

 

  1. Tom Brady sets several new records in Buccaneers win

Tom Brady made 381 passing yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ win at Washington on Saturday – his career high in a road playoff game and the most in a single playoff game in franchise history. He (Brady) became the oldest player at 43 years, 159 days old to throw a touchdown pass in a playoff game joining Hall of Famers, Brett Favre and Joe Montana as the only Quarterbacks to win at least 10 playoff games with just one team and then win a playoff game with another.

  1. Josh Allen tops Joe Montana with precise, dual-threat performance

Josh Allen stole the show as he completed 26 of 35 passes (74.3 percent) for 324 yards and added 54 yards on the ground in the Bills’ win over the Colts. It marked the 12th time in the Super Bowl era that a player had at least 300 passing yards and 50 rushing yards in a playoff game and the first time that player also completed at least 70 percent of his passes. Joe Montana had the previous record high, completing 24 of 35 pass attempted which records a 68.6 percent for 331 yards and adding 59 rushing yards on his way to being named Super Bowl XIX MVP.

  1. Stefon Diggs joins Jerry Rice in the elite company

Stefon Diggs had 128 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown Saturday as the Bills earned their first playoff win since 1995. He (Diggs) had 137 yards and a score in the Vikings win over the Saints in a 2017 NFC Divisional Playoff Game – joined Hall of Famer Jerry Rice as the only players in the Super Bowl era with at least 125 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in a playoff game with multiple teams (Rice did so four times with the 49ers and once with the Raiders).

4. Cleveland Browns score 48 points in record-setting win over Pittsburgh Steelers

Cleveland Browns took all maximum points against the Steelers with a 48-37 on Sunday for their first playoff win since the 1994 postseason. 48 points are the most ever allowed in a playoff game by Pittsburgh. The only playoff game in which the Browns scored more was a 56-10 win over the Lions in the 1954 NFL Championship Game.

5. John Harbaugh sets new record by any head coach

Baltimore Ravens win over Tennessee Titans on Sunday marked Lamar Jackson’s first career playoff win, but his head coach took the spotlight that set an NFL record. John Harbaugh now has 8 career road wins in the playoffs, breaking a tie with Tom Landry and two-time Super Bowl-winner, Tom Coughlin for most by any head coach in the history of the NFL. The Ravens are 11-6 all-time on the road in the playoffs. No other NFL franchise is above .500 on the road in the post-season.
