After a thrilling trifecta of games to start the weekend, Sunday promised more big action as the NFL Wild Card round continued.
The weekend culminated with the biggest upset as the Cleveland Browns stormed into Pittsburgh and defeated the AFC Central Division champions the Pittsburgh 48-37. Baker Mayfield went 21 of 34 for 263, and three touchdown passes. Nick Chubb had 145 total yards (76 rushing, 69 receiving) with one touchdown run. Backup running back Kareem Hunt scored two touchdowns. Ben Roethlisberger went 47 of 68 for 501 yards with four touchdowns but also four interceptions.
Roethlisberger couldn't reach a high snap on the first play of the game, and the ball rolled into the end zone for a Browns touchdown. The Browns (12-5) rolled from there with the Steelers (12-5) playing catchup the rest of the way. The win is the Browns first on the road in the playoffs since 1969. They move on to face the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday.
In the opening game of the day, Lamar Jackson put on a show to lead the Baltimore Ravens to a 20-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans (11-6). Jackson went 17 of 29 for 179 yards and one interception. The 2019 NFL MVP won the game with his legs, rushing 16 times for 136 yards and a touchdown, including an electrifying 48-yard run where he nearly went untouched. The Ravens (12-5) now face the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.
Also, the New Orleans Saints beat the Chicago Bears (8-9) 21-9 in a defensive battle. Drew Brees went 28 of 39 for 265 yards with two touchdown passes. The Saints (13-4) will look to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the third time next Sunday.
Here is what happened on day two of the NFL Wild Card round.
