Expect huge postseason for Derrick Henry
Baltimore running back Derrick Henry has 732 rushing yards in seven career playoff games. If he tops 68 yards on Saturday night against the Steelers, he'll become just the fifth player all-time with at least 800 rushing yards in his first eight career postseason games.
The others are all Hall of Famers: Terrell Davis (1,140), John Riggins (946), Marcus Allen (896) and Emmitt Smith (801).
C.J. Stroud looking to continue playoff success
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a 109.3 passer rating in his first two playoffs starts last year after throwing for a combined 449 yards and three touchdowns. He was especially impressive in a wild-card win in which he recorded the highest passer rating (157.2) by a rookie in his postseason debut all-time.
If Stroud were to win on Sunday, he would become the sixth quarterback all-time to win a playoff game in each of his first two seasons.
The previous five to do so, according to the NFL:
Joe Flacco, Baltimore, 2008-09
Brock Purdy, San Francisco, 2022-23
Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh, 2004-05
Mark Sanchez, New York Jets, 2009-10
Russell Wilson, Seattle, 2012-23
