What a fun weekend for football. For five straight days, we had two College Football semifinal tilts both of which went down to the fourth quarter (somehow the best teams advancing eventually produce great games). Then three days of the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs. Not as competitive. But the latter cemented a future Hall of Famer's status as a big game player and may be the reason his team wins its first Super Bowl in 12 years. Baltimore Ravens Derrick Henry may have finally found a team to take him to his first Super Bowl appearance. Or maybe more he'll be taking them. Henry pounded the Pittsburgh Steelers defense for 186 yards and 26 carries, well over 7 YPC. Add two TD. And broke their spirit in a 28-14 win. Not his first spirit broken. His presence also opens up lanes for former and probable MVP Lamar Jackson. You can't guard both. And they have tight ends. And a defense. How do you stop the Ravens? The Buffalo Bills will try, but Derrick Henry is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week.
This is Henry's third Sportsman of the Week nod, tied for most all time:
