LSU in the NFL playoffs: How former Tigers performed in the Wild Card round
The first week of NFL playoffs is in the books with six games taking place. There were plenty of storylines to follow such as Joe Burrow looking to make history in Cincinnati. The Bengals hadn’t won a playoff game in 31 years. Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase had other ideas on this day as they were victorious in their first playoff game in the NFL.
The final game of the weekend came on Monday night when former offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth became the eighth player to start a playoff game at the age of 40. Odell Beckham Jr was also looking for his first playoff victory, he lost the only other appearance in his career.
