On his 26th birthday, Derrick Henry made sure to have January 4th, 2020 be remembered for something other than just his anniversary of birth. His monster performance was the main component to the Titans major upset victory that might’ve finally ended the New England Patriots dynasty (more on that below).

Watson was the hero the Texans needed on Saturday. After single-handedly scoring the Texans first 8 points to make it a one-possession game, he ended up having the play of the game after he evaded two tacklers on the Game-Winning drive in OT.

The Bills built an early 16-0 lead, but the Texans weren’t going away easy after Deshaun Watson and JJ Watt put the team of their backs to get back into it. After numerous 3rd & long conversions in OT, Deshaun Watson’s play of the game (as seen above) proved to be the difference in one of the greatest Wild Card games ever.

The Kings were down 4 with 5 seconds left before Nmanja Bjelica hit an incredible and-1 3-pointer that tied the game. Unfortunately, the miracle comeback was ruined by JJ Redick’s game-winning layup on the next possession.
