Which NFL Team made the biggest statement in the Wild Card Round?

Goat House

VERIFIED

Listen, they had no time to practice, no head coach, and they still won by double digits. They will beat the Chiefs! That was so surprising! Let’s go Browns!

Daniel

For the Rams to have a QB with no thumb and still win by two scores and limiting Wilson to a 40.7% completion rate is saying something...

Mason Robins

I think it is between the Browns, the Ravens and the Rams. But it's got to be the ravens for me, I know the browns win was impressive especially after all they went trough last week, but the ravens won against the team that has the best matchup against them (imo), Lamar demonstrated that he can win big games and the defense (finally everyone was healthy) showed that, when healthy, they are one of the best in the league.

Emilio Villacorta

Just cuz I'm a Bills fan lol... But saints should've been the least voted for

Mr. Roller Coasters

I got the first vote 😱 and also they truly showed JuJu that the browns are the browns and at the end of the day the browns were the better team

Lance

There is not a doubt in mind that any team other than the Browns made a bigger statement, here is a team that was missing olivier vernon and their Head Coach Kevin Stefanski, they scored 28 points in the first quarter which was record breaking and beat the higher ranked Steelers in Heinz Field, this is also a team who hadnt won a playoff game in twenty years

Jared

I think the rams did because they showed and proved why they are the number one defense to go to a division rival and be lacking in some major positions and still coming off with the upset it is impressive I’m saying this as a packers fan I am worried for next week

Quincy Duvalsaint

Rams or Saints could have this reason but i like the rams defense better. Rams defense has shown to be head and shoulders above every other defense while having historically great players at each significant position. Although their offense is lack luster it showed they’re able to get just enough to win if the defense plays their part

Bills beat a solid Colts team that could've probably beat other playoff teams.  Seahawks have struggled this year defensively and their offense was inconsistent, so the Rams isn't a surprise especially with their defense.  The Bucs over Washington I believe set record setting Vegas odds, so no surprise.  Ravens were getting better as season ended with a ridiculous run game and Titans had no answer for Jackson.  Browns over Steelers wasn't a statement.  Steelers have been awful towards the end of the season and an offensive scheme that doesn't have any routes more than 10 yards is easy to figure out even for those who don't even watch football.  The Browns should be good, the paid for a solid roster, just needed a coach.  And the Saints over Bears...are they really an option for this question?

No head coach, no problem. 

This team made a huge statement by coming into Heinz Field and completely dominating!

The Red Pimp

I think the Ravens get the edge over the Browns and the Rams. The Seahawks and Steelers didn't have their Qb's play to their potential. Rotflol-Burger threw up some serious meatballs which resulted in turnovers.  Russell Wilson looked like he wasn't capable of throwing the football. Ravens defense really proved their defense could take down a high powered offense. Ravens should be turning some heads, especially when they take down the Bills next!

Marc Pipitone

Bills at best played their B game and won against a more complete team. When all three sides are on their A game they are extremely lethal. Ravens may sleep on them because of our run defense but watch out because josh Allen is hungry and so is the team. If you can win a playoff game playing okay what can you do when you’re 100%?

Ravens have the most to prove. let’s see Clevland play a team they didn’t play three times and that went 1-5 to end the season

browns came in as one of the biggest underdogs in these playoffs. with their constant covid issues and their 1 practice all week there seemed to be a slim chance for cleveland. the steelers all season of been talking their talk all the way to a 1-5 season end. with juju’s comments (even if they were somewhat out of context) that lit flames to cleveland’s fire. baker mayfield wanted to prove that he is cleveland’s future and he sure did. cleveland come out hungry and embarrassed their division rivals on prime time tv. somehow cleveland came out of a 1 practice week more hungry and prepared than the steelers. the depleted secondary while not great stepped up big against the steelers forcing ben into 4 interception (but 500 yds). the offensive line further into the game got more injured but at the start they dominated pittsburghs front 7 and showed who wanted it more. this is why I choose the cleveland browns.

Browns were the most impressive during the wildcard weekend for 3 main reasons. First of all, unlike many young teams, the Browns looked very prepared against the Steelers. They took full advantage of many opportunities, scored touchdowns on turnovers, and iced the game when they needed to. This shows that the Browns are not afraid of their competition in the playoffs. Second, the Browns did all of this without their head coach, a coach of the year candidate, and 2 elite players (Ward and Bitonio). Along with other elite players on the roster, the Browns can be even more dangerous once they get their coach and players back. Lastly, the Browns are playing the Chiefs, who might start slow next week since their starters did not play for almost 2 weeks. The Browns have shown that they can run away with games when they start fast and even if they don't, they are still highly competitive against the elite teams. If the Browns beat the Chiefs, which is VERY likely, they will have a lot of momentum and can easily compete for the Superbowl with their fearless mindset, great coaching, and talented roster.

Showed their offense can put up points even tho defense kinda fell in the second half

Price Gutterman

Corvette Corvette!! The Browns just showed how capable they still are even if their team isn't 100%

Beating the Steelers in playoffs in Heinz Field

Aaron Conrad

The Steelers came in with a solid team and having just barley lost to them In week 17. The browns went up against their best team and slaughtered them. Baker made that defense look like shit! And that browns defense exploded on the scene

William

Browns came out Aggressively and were overall the more physical team they came out and scored 28 points in the 1st quarter which is the most EVER in a playoff game. They absolutely dominated the first half going into halftime with a 35-10 lead. Steelers tried to rally and ended up mounting a bit of a comeback but it just wasn’t enough to overcome a 28 point lead and Big Ben throwing 4 PICKS. Overall the Browns were the better team and EARNED their first playoff appearance since 2002 and their first win since 1994.

Blow the Steelers out in heinz Field in their playoff game in 18 years

Sullivan

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT DAWG POUND!!!!!! THIS ISNT EVEN A QUESTION

Michael

People were saying oh the browns are gonna lose because they barley beat the Steelers with a backup qb and they came out and smacked the Steelers just like I called it

Nicolas 

Absolutely phenomenal 1st quarter, the defense was playing heads up ball and picked off 3 tipped passes to lead 28-0 in the 1st quarter. The running game was great as well.

Colin Bonnema

They came out smacked the Steelers in the face and kept playing hard without their coach and star players. Go Browns

Zach

GOPACKGO 

I would have picked the Colts but man did the Browns clap. Baker was throwing dimes and there defense did amazing in the first half. The second half was a little more sloppy but little people saw a inexperienced playoff team beating Big Ben

Danny

I feel like if the browns play the way they did in the first half of this game they can beat the chiefs 100% especially since they’ll have their HC back. Can’t wait to see this game.

Tyrese

Isn’t this obvious? They fulfilled the prophecy of the Evan Foxy Curse against the Steelers.

Lucas 

Won with a special team coach as the head coach

Nova

I only think this because I think they showed us a side of them that we haven’t seen all season. I think they can give the chiefs trouble.

Nick Hughes

The browns served up a whole humble pie to the Steelers a team that was seen as a super bowl contender but they were just pretenders. The browns can be what the Titans were last year

Matthew Manges

I choose browns since the Steelers started off with a good season and lost to the browns who haven’t been in the playoff for years

Henry

Is this really a debate? they utterly demolished their division rival without their head coach.

Doug

SpeedyJet

You are a clown to think they will beat the Chiefs
