In a weekend that some consider the "greatest of the NFL Playoffs" the elite teams separated themselves from the pack. The "greatest" as you get all eight teams playing in four full games. In a year full of surprises, many of the standard recent winners did not make it to the round, further adding intrigue. One of the teams nobody was sure of was the New England Patriots. Many broadcast professionals picked a Houston Texans upset, however the New England Patriots defense more than answered the bell. They forced four first half interceptions from maligned Texans QB C.J. Stroud who did not bounce back from a shaky Wild Card performance. Two of the interceptions were by Carlton Davis III. Not known as a ball hawk, at least this year, Davis III had no regular season INTs this year. Throw in four tackles, including 1 for loss, and Davis III was the leader of the defense that has a reasonable path to the Super Bowl through Denver. The Patriots are for real, and Carlton Davis III is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
