In this exciting episode of The Exec Talk Podcast, we break down the thrilling action from the Wild Card round and key NFL and college football storylines. Here's a quick rundown:

Chargers vs Texans: The Chargers get destroyed by the Texans' defense, forcing four interceptions, including a pick-six by Murray, and applying constant pressure on Justin Herbert. CJ Stroud shakes off a slow start, and despite a monster 197-yard game from Ladd McConkey, the Chargers' inability to run the ball seals their fate.
Ravens vs Steelers: Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry dominate the ground game, while the Ravens' defense suffocates the Steelers. A 21-0 first-half lead and a strong second-half defense help Baltimore put Pittsburgh away for good.
Bills vs Broncos: Josh Allen and James Cook shine as the Bills end Bo Nix’s remarkable rookie season, with a critical 4th-and-1 TD pass to Ty Johnson sealing the win. The Broncos' offense falters as they struggle to capitalize on opportunities.
Eagles vs Packers: The Eagles defense locks down Jordan Love and the Packers, forcing 3 interceptions. Despite injuries to key Packers players, the Eagles do just enough on offense to secure the win, with a crucial kickoff fumble being the turning point.
Buccaneers vs Commanders: Jayden Daniels' poise in the fourth quarter leads the Commanders to a dramatic win, including two clutch 4th down TDs. Despite a strong effort from Baker Mayfield and the Bucs, Tampa Bay can't stop Daniels' legs or the late-game heroics that send the Commanders to the playoffs.
Vikings vs Rams: The Rams completely dominate the Vikings in every phase of the game. Sam Darnold struggles under constant pressure, and the Rams defense collects 9 sacks in a lopsided affair.
College Football Playoffs:
Notre Dame vs Penn State: A heartbreaking pick by Dre Allan in the final minutes hands Penn State the win, despite Nick Singleton's three touchdowns for Notre Dame.
Ohio State vs Texas: Ohio State outlasts Texas with a strong running game and key defensive plays, including a game-sealing sack fumble returned for a touchdown by Jack Sawyer.
Coaching News: The Patriots hire Mike Vrabel as their new head coach, while Mike McCarthy is fired by the Cowboys.
