With the first round of the NFL playoffs now in the books, let’s take a look at the top individual performances from Wild Card weekend:
1. James Harrison, EDGE, Pittsburgh Steelers
James Harrison was more productive than the entire Miami defense put together when it came to rushing the passer and stopping the run on Sunday. Harrison racked up seven total QB pressures, forced a fumble, and recorded eight defensive stops—tied for the most of any player over this first round of the playoffs (with Oakland edge defender Khalil Mack). For Harrison to playing at this level at 38 years old is ridiculous; the Pittsburgh veteran has become well-versed in the art of postseason impact plays over his career.
