January 16th, 2022 was highlighted by the Cowboys choking in their comeback effort against the 49ers with a questionable play-call to QB draw up the middle with only 14 seconds left that prevented Dallas from having a shot at the end zone to win the game. The reigning AFC & NFC champions each blew out the bottom-cellars in the Playoffs from Pennsylvania as the Bucs defense exposed Jalen Hurts while Mahomes & Kelce had historic games in Big Ben’s final game. The Rockets also made some plays in Sacramento.
See what happened in sports on January 16th last year, headlined by the Bills prevailing over the Ravens in a windy Division Rd game and Green Bay taking down the Rams to clinch home field for the NFC Championship, as well as what happened in sports on January 16th, 2020 ft. Brandon Ingram‘s career-high 49-point explosion.
