The college football and NFL playoffs are firing on all cylinders with five straight days of playoff action this week (through Monday). This week, the NFL delivered last minute drama, including three final scores beyond the 2-minute warning and another game in which a pass break up stopped the potential winning score inside the red zone. One of the surprise offensive stars was San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, who went from an afterthought on game plans to superstar. Robinson torched the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles defense for 111 yards on 6 grabs, including a 61-yard catch on the second play of the game, then a TD catch to cap the first drive. His playmaking was especially needed, as the Niners lost All Pro Tight End George Kittle to injury and were depleted down the field. Fear not, Robinson to the rescue. Despite a season of only 22 catches for under 300 total yards (and never a game over 50 yards) with just one TD, he led the way to the upset 23-19 victory over the Eagles and have many picking the 49ers as short odds for the NFC Championship. Demarcus Robinson is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
