The NFL regular season might be over, but the quality postgame quips are still going strong in the playoffs.
On Saturday night, the Baltimore Ravens handled business at home against thePittsburgh Steelers, amassing a 21-point lead by halftime before cruising to a 28-14 final. The Ravens' star tandem of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henryshined in the win -- Jackson accounted for two of Baltimore's touchdowns through the air, and Henry tallied the other two on the ground.
After the game, Jackson had an interesting point of reference to describe Henry's game -- animated race car protagonist Lightning McQueen:
"When Lightning McQueen gets flying, flashing past, like 'pshew, pshew' ... that's how Derrick [Henry] go."
Jackson's comparison was the highlight of post-victory commentary from the wild-card round week of the NFL playoffs.
"It's not about how you start, it's how you finish."
It took some time for the Texans to find their rhythm in the first game of wild-card weekend -- the Los Angeles Chargers amassed an early 6-0 lead and Houston didn't get on the scoreboard until there was just under a minute remaining in the first half. But when the Texans hit top gear in the second half, the results were impressive.
Twenty-two second-half points helped Houston turn what was initially a low-scoring game into a rout. The Texans' defense picked off four ofJustin Herbert's passes, while Stroud connected with Nico Collins seven times for 122 yards and a score.
