NFL Divisional Round Playoffs: Key matchups

Cleveland Browns vs Kansas City Chiefs Key matchup:

Denzel Ward vs Tyreek Hill:

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward was activated off the COVID-19 list and will be asked to shadow Tyreek Hill. This will be the toughest matchup that Ward has had all season. Tyreek Hill is one of the fastest if not the fastest wide receivers in the NFL. Cleveland will need Ward to stay in Tyreek Hill's hip pocket for the entire game on Sunday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New Orleans Saints Key Matchup:

Tom Brady vs Drew Brees:

Drew Brees has gotten the best of Tom Brady in both of the meetings during the 2020-2021 NFL Season. Brady has more success than Brees when it comes to the NFL Playoffs but Drew Brees is playing to keep his career alive. Brees will be playing with a lot of emotion in tonight's game against the Buccaneers. If the rumors are true this will be the last game between Tom Brady and Drew Brees.
