Franchise cornerstones make their names in the regular season, but legends cement their legacies in the playoffs. These are the 15 highest graded players from Super Wild Card Weekend, with a 20% snap minimum required to qualify. The second year receiver erupted for his greatest performance as a pro, earning a 93.1 receiving grade.

Doubs secured all six of his targets, five of which went for 15 or more yards — tied for most in the wild card round. The Packers' deep threat amassed 151 yards on just 16 routes run for a 9.44 yards per route run mark — a rate nearly four yards higher than the next qualifying receiver. After a phenomenal rookie campaign, Nacua outdid himself in his playoff debut, producing a career high 93.1 receiving grade.

The former fifth rounder was strong after the catch, leading the wild card round in yards after catch per reception (11.6) and missed tackles forced on receptions (five). Love raised the bar again in his playoff debut, generating the highest passing grade (91.8) in the wild card round and of his career.

The signal caller posted an 11.3 yard average target depth while amassing 63.2% of his yardage through the air, with the former figure leading all passers in the opening round of the playoffs. The veteran safety had a big day in coverage. Across 60 coverage snaps, Savage earned a 90.8 grade, the highest of the weekend.

He was the only defender who played 50 or more coverage snaps and surpassed a 71.0 plus grade. Savage broke open the game late in the first half when he took an interception 65 yards to the house. In his first playoff appearance, Harris made his mark on passing downs. The second year pro earned the second highest coverage grade (90.2) this week, due in large part to his third quarter pick six.

He also impressively notched a sack, making it his second straight game with one. After closing out the regular season on a strong note, St. Brown was nearly uncoverable in his playoff debut. The electric wideout generated a first down on all seven of his receptions, tying for the most of the wild card round.

On those receptions, St. Brown forced three forced missed tackles and totaled 3.79 yards per route run. The 13 year veteran had a fantastic all around game as both a pass rusher and a run defender, earning 78.5 plus grades in both facets. Graham was a force in the ground game, tallying two run stops and earning a positive grade on one third of his snaps, all without a single negative mark.

In his sixth playoff appearance, Jones set a postseason career high in rushing grade (82.8), powered by three scores, four runs of 10 or more yards and four forced missed tackles. Jones was vital to Green Bay’s offensive success, converting 42.9% of his carries into a first down or a touchdown — the highest rate among qualifying running backs in the wild card round.

Stafford had an explosive playoff return to Detroit, charting an 86.1 passing grade. The Rams' signal caller made four big time throws without a single turnover worthy play, the best rate among passers in the wild card round. Stafford did his best work late, producing the highest fourth quarter passing grade of the week (82.1).

Floyd made it his business to set up shop in the opposing backfield and wreak havoc. He may not have recorded a sack, but he notched five pass rush wins for an 18.2% win rate. Floyd attacked in the run game, as well, tallying a tackle for loss — his first ever in a playoff game. Mahomes’ improvisation and ability to work under pressure were on full display in the wild card round.

When facing heat, he earned an 89.5 PFF grade, largely because of his incredible scrambling ability. Mahomes made good use of his legs, converting a pair of rushes for first downs on his way to an 88.6 rushing grade. On a cold day in Buffalo, Allen tacked on a pair of explosive runs, including a massive 52 yard scurry to break open the game in the first half.

His 90.2 rushing grade in the wild card round was the highest of any player this past week. The second year pass rusher was nearly unblockable in the wild card round, earning the third highest pass rush grade (88.1) of the weekend. Hutchinson racked up nine pressures, including a pair of sacks, both of which led all defenders in the opening playoff round.

Hutchinson also paced the league with a 34.8% pass rush win rate. Edwards slotted in primarily as the sixth offensive lineman in the Bills' wild card gameplan, to which he did not disappoint. While he played only 25 snaps, he was solid in all facets, allowing no pressure — good for a 78.2 pass blocking grade.

He was incredibly productive on outside zone concepts, earning an 87.5 run blocking grade. Collins rode his regular season success into his playoff debut, stacking three explosive plays and tallying 4.80 yards per route run. Collins was particularly effective when his quarterback needed him most, earning the third highest receiving grade (91.7) of the week in pressure situations..
