Every week someone predicts a blowout and that's fine, but the game is probably coming down to the wire unless Buffalo shits themselves or Allen gets injured. A win is all that matters ultimately but I'd be surprised if it's not a close game.

You gotta credit Lassiter and Stingley for shutting down Hollywood and Dhop/JJSS

Along with his teammate, the aforementioned Derek Stingley Jr., Lassiter was a huge factor in shutting down the Chargers' passing game. The first-year cornerback finished with a 90.5 PFF coverage grade — the highest mark of his young career and the fourth-highest among rookie cornerbacks in the postseason — after surrendering zero receptions on three targets into his coverage and securing his fifth interception on the year.

The honor of the wild-card round’s highest-graded coverage defender goes to Stingley, who secured a phenomenal 94.9 mark against the Chargers. Houston’s coverage, spearheaded by Stingley’s two fourth-quarter interceptions, surrendered little room for the Chargers to maneuver. The third-year cornerback also notched a pair of forced incompletions and a forced fumble, a credit to his sticky and aggressive coverage ability.
