Finalists last season, the Philadelphia Eagles failed to overthrow the Buccaners. Baker Mayfield led Tampa Bay's offensives wonderfully without being radiant with passing skills (22/36) but managing to carry out important actions from the start of the match.
Chris Gowdin (4 receptions, 1 touchdown) and Cade Otton turned the heads of any Eagles defense. At the end of this defeat (32-9), Jason Kelce announced his retirement, a bad evening for Philadelphia fans.
After its meeting was postponed due to weather conditions in the region, Buffalo was finally able to play its match against the Pittsburgh Steelers. No matter the weather, Josh Allen, the Bills quarterback, was ready for this meeting. Efficient in passing (21/30 for 3 touchdowns thrown), Allen immediately allowed his team to take a significant lead (21-7 at halftime).
Even if he did not score a touchdown, receiver Stefon Diggs was again very valuable (7 receptions), like Khalil Shakir (3 receptions, 1 touchdown).
In the next round, the Bills will face the Kansas City Chiefs on the night of Sunday January 21 to Monday January 22 (12:30 a.m.) and the Buccaners will meet the Detroit Lions a little earlier (9 p.m.).
