NFL playoffs started with a pair of lopsided scores. On Saturday, the "underdog" Houston Texans overcame a slow start to post a commanding 32-12 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. For the nightcap, the Baltimore Ravens recorded a 28-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers that wasn't even as close as the final score would seem to indicate.

The two home teams took care of business on the first day of the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs, as the Houston Texans defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 32–12, and the Baltimore Ravens capped off the night by sending the Pittsburgh Steelers packing with a 28–14 victory.

Quarterbacks aren't the end-all, be-all when it comes to competing for NFL championships. More often than not, in fact, signal-callers are only as elite as their supporting cast, especially when it comes to playoff football.

The NFL playoffs begin on Saturday afternoon, with the first game of the wild-card round between the Chargers and Texans.
