Wild Card Round - Chicago Bears v New Orleans Saints

In the game against Chicago Bears, Drew Brees completed 28 of 39 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. it seems he has all of his abilities back and can seize the 16th-ranked defense (19.34 points) in the playoffs' Divisional Round.


4) Aaron Rodgers vs Los Angeles Rams

The anticipated NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers takes on the number one defense against QBs (13.52); Rodgers might luck out since Aaron Donald is beaten up and might be a hint slower getting off the line.

The Rams could struggle to pressurize him and Rodgers could pick them apart, even with Davante Adams's match up with Jalen Ramsey.


3) Lamar Jackson vs Buffalo Bills

The 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson had some negative chatter behind his back. However, Jackson proved them wrong by acting like his former self.

In week 13, Jackson has 13 touchdowns and 566 yards rushing. One hundred thirty-three of those yards came last week on 16 carries.

The Buffalo Bills were 21st in rushing yards, gave up seven touchdowns and were tied for second-highest in the league.


2) Josh Allen vs Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are ninth in points allowed to quarterbacks (16.92).


1) Patrick Mahomes vs Cleveland Browns

The Browns are 25th against the quarterback position in 2020 (19.91). Patrick Mahomes and other Kansas City Chiefs' players had a week off, and Andy Reid had a week to devise up a game plan.
