Former LSU wide receiver Jarvis Landry is in his seventh year as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.
He’s played in 111 regular season games and caught 636 passes for 7,028 yards and 35 touchdowns.
But until Sunday night, he had never won an NFL playoff game when he had five catches for 92 yards and a TD as the Cleveland Browns outlasted the Pittsburgh Steelers 48-37.
In Landry’s only other playoff game, he had 11 catches for 102 yards as a member of the 2016 Miami Dolphins in a 30-12 loss to Pittsburgh.

Noted and corrected.
Higgy – Wrong on Andrew Whitworth. He played – most of the offensive snaps by the look of things – in LA’s win over Seattle. If you’re going to publish this account, state the facts correctly please.
It’s corrected. I try and keep track of active and inactive lists. This one got past me. Sorry.
