AFC Wild Card Saturday - Recap

Hello, the AFC Wild Card was a stunner for the public with the Steelers overcoming a stunning deficit over the Bengals with Chris Boswell kicking a 35-yard-FG to make the final score 18-16 in Cincinnati.    

The game was nicely played with the comeback of Ben Roethlisberger unexpectedly entering the game and marching the Steelers to the Bengals’s 25-yard line and leave it all to Chris Boswell to kick the game winner from 35 yards out.    

Also, Antonio Brown left the game diagnosed with a concussion, the rest of the coming information about this injury will be shared.  Big Ben also injured his right shoulder when he got sacked by Vontaze Burfict who will probably face a suspension for the start of next season. Bengals players, Vontaze Burfict, Adam Jones, and, Jeremy Hill made this game possible for the Steelers to win.          

Meanwhile, in NRG Stadium in Texas, the Texans were suffering on both sides of the ball in their 30-0 washout failure against Andy Reed’s evolving Kansas City Chiefs with their 11 straight wins in the regular and postseason.    

Brian Hoyer messed up at the wrong time and at the wrong game after forcing 5 turnovers (4 interceptions and 1 fumble) against Kansas City.  What’s so funny is that he said the same thing at his postgame interview with the media, that the Texans, mainly him messed up which lead the rising Kansas City Chiefs to beat them very badly. 

During the game, J.J Watt suffered a groin injury against the Chiefs and this Texans defense was highly stressed out without the former Defensive Player of The Year because without J.J this Texans defense is reduced to bits. 

Kansas City’s next challenge in the playoffs will be the New England Patriots in the Divisional without their star wide receiver Jeremy Maclin due to a knee injury in the third quarter against the Texans. In fact, J.J Watt and Jeremy Maclin had been injured on the same play in the third quarter.    

Pittsburgh’s next opponent in their playoff run will be a rematch against the Denver Broncos in Mile High. The first meeting of the Broncos and the Steelers came with a fourth quarter comeback  in the name of  the now injured Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger.    

The AFC is heating up and the race to Super Bowl 50 is getting harder and harder along the way with more teams wanting one of the most prestigious titles in sports history with the greediest teams waiting to crush each other just to win this title and redeem a name in sports history and be well known across America and across the world as the team that won Super Bowl 50.
