Playoffs? Playoffs?! Let’s talk about playoffs!
The NFL’s Wild Card weekend came at us this past weekend and, after an absolutely horrific first game between the Chiefs and Texans, you may have to concede that ‘wild’ undersold the action just a bit. But we’re here to recap all the bizarre action and must-see plays in GIF form, so go ahead and enjoy — unless you’re a Bengals or Vikings fan, in which case I’m so, so sorry.
Knile Davis started off the weekend by taking the Chiefs/Texans opening kickoff straight to the house. That’s pretty much all you need to know about this game.
Martavis Bryant made an absolutely absurd butt catch with the help of a somersault. Some people believe it shouldn’t have been ruled a catch, but don’t be friends with those people. They’re no fun. You don’t need that negativity in your life.
Just look at how dang impressive this is. You deserve credit for a catch this difficult regardless of how many feet you get it.
A Steelers coach got flagged for pushing Reggie Nelson and pulling his hair.
Ben Roethlisberger injured his shoulder and Cincinnati fans cheered and threw trash at him as he was leaving the field.
Vontaze Burfict came up with a huge interception towards the end of the game that put the Bengals in a great spot to run out the clock and win the game.
Burfict celebrated by running straight to the locker room.
Yes, seriously.
That would end up being a bad look for him, as Jeremy Hill fumbled the ball back to the Steelers on the very next play.
Hill knew he screwed up big-time.
Then Burfict delivered a terrible hit on Antonio Brown that was called a personal foul and — combined with another personal foul from Adam Jones — helped put the Steelers in field-goal range to win it. What an epic collapse.
Adam Jones had regrets.
This Bengals fan shared the pain.
Seahawks punter Jon Ryan tried to be a hero after a botched snap and his face paid dearly for it.
Doug Baldwin made an absurd one-handed catch that helped us get over the absence of Odell Beckham, Jr.
Seriously, check out this catch.
Do it.
Russell Wilson can magically turn broken plays into huge gains.
The Vikings had a golden chance to kick a game-winning field goal with under a minute left to go in the game, but Blair Walsh absolutely shanked the 27-yard try. LACES OUT, DAN!
Aaron Rodgers day began with a safety at the hands of the Redskins.
Jordan Reed made his own ridiculous one-handed catch.
The grab likely took away a pick-six from the Packers, but Green Bay would go on to win regardless.
We’ll see y’all back here next week to wrap up the divisional round. Hopefully it’s as insane as what we got this weekend.
