Today, we’re looking back on some of the best individual playoff performances throughout the team’s postseason history and focusing moreso on the forgotten and overlooked ones.

Jacksonville Jaguars (DEF - JAC)
7/4/24 8:10 AM - Sports Illustrated: Parker Washington Is Jaguars' Most Underrated Player. In the fourth year of the Jacksonville Jaguars' rebuild after the 2020 season, the Jaguars have a roster filled with experienced and distinguished veterans, young players on the rise, and recent draft picks still looking to make a name for themselves and breakout. One such player who fits the mold of the latter is second-year wide receiver Parker Washington. Washington was injured for much of his rookie year but still made several standout plays for the Jaguars' offense following Christian Kirk's injury. Washington carried that momentum and a clean bill of health to this offseason, with Washington earning praise from the coaching staff for his performance during OTAs and minicamp.

Josh Allen (QB - BUF)
7/4/24 6:36 AM - How did the careers pan out for the 5 players picked ahead of Josh Allen?. While Josh Allen went on to be the 7th pick of the 2018 NFL draft, five teams (Cleveland Browns had two picks in the top 5) passed on him. Furthermore, he was the third quarterback taken in his draft class. Now that he's blossomed into a franchise cornerstone for the Buffalo Bills, it makes you wonder how the careers of the players picked ahead of him have turned out six years later.

Buffalo Bills (DEF - BUF)
7/4/24 6:29 AM - Young WR named Bills' 'most underrated' player, earns comparison to former All-Pro. There was a wide receiver whom Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen oft-looked to throughout the 2023 postseason, a pass catcher who earned the quarterback's trust and ended the team's two-game run as the only wide receiver on its roster to catch a playoff touchdown pass (actually reaching paydirt twice). It was intstead Khalil Shakir, who capped off his breakout sophomore campaign with a strong postseason in which he caught 10 passes for 75 yards and two scores. The 2022 fifth-round draft pick showed up when the lights were brightest, an extension of his play throughout the 2023 regular season; he caught 39 passes for 611 yards throughout the campaign, with 20 of these receptions for 363 yards coming after Joe Brady was promoted to interim offensive coordinator midway through the year.

7/4/24 5:34 AM - Explaining why new Buffalo Bills' WR is ideal fantasy football sleeper pick. All three figure to play important roles in the Josh Allen-led offense, but none carry as much fantasy football value as free-agent addition Curtis Samuel. Let me explain why I believe Samuel is a potentially highly-rewarding sleeper pick that seems certain to significantly outperform his average draft position, which should wind up somewhere in the late rounds. It's all based on the idea that the table is set for the soon-to-be 28-year-old Samuel to produce a career year in 2024.

Ingold was brought to Miami as a vital fixture in McDaniel's system, especially for his blocking prowess. He can also help when his number is called in the passing game with his 75.7% career catch rate. He has 56 career receptions on 74 targets for 463 yards and four touchdowns. Undrafted in 2019, Ingold spent three seasons with the Raiders franchise, with one year in Oakland and two in Las Vegas. He has not had many running opportunities across his five NFL seasons, only rushing 23 attempts for 30 yards, but he does have one touchdown on the ground.

7/3/24 12:26 PM - NFL.com Offers Bold Prediction on Patriots' MVP for 2024 Season. For the New England Patriots, the landscape seems a bit tougher to project than the rest of the crowd. This team will finally embark on the first season post-Bill Belichick as rookie head coach Jerod Mayo takes the reigns, and third-overall pick of this year's draft, QB Drake Maye, is in the fold to be a foundational cornerstone of this roster for years to come. The changes in Foxboro are exciting, but the expectations for how this squad will perform during the first year of these adjustments are still a bit foggy. After a rough 4-13 output the season prior, the radical shift into returning to one of the top threats in the NFL once again will be an extensive one to make, and it may end up taking a few years for those pieces to come to form.

Pittsburgh Steelers (DEF - PIT)
7/3/24 8:01 AM - Former Browns WR Says Defense Targeted Steelers’ Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann: ‘We’re Gonna Knock The Taste Out Of His Mouth’. The Pittsburgh Steelers dominated much of the 1970s, particularly the latter half with offensive stars like Terry Bradshaw and Lynn Swann. Younger generations of football fans don’t view these names in the same light as they once were, admittedly. Those who played against them, however, remember just how good they were—and how to play them. […]

Denver Broncos (DEF - DEN)
7/3/24 7:17 AM - Lucas Krull Could Become Broncos Best Tight End in 2024. The Denver Broncos tight end position is one that has several big questions surrounding it heading into the 2024 season, especially with the production there being largely unproven. As the team reports for training camp, who will be the top TE option, and what will the depth look like? Lucas Krull was unknown by many in Broncos Country for a majority of 2023 until he started getting more reps after being elevated from the practice squad.

Miami Dolphins (DEF - MIA)
7/3/24 7:12 AM - NFL expert shows Las Vegas Raiders no love in under-25 talent rankings. When it comes to their players under the age of 25, one NFL analyst has no love for what the Las Vegas Raiders have on their roster. According to Aaron Schatz of ESPN, the Raiders' group of players under the age of 25 is the second-worst in the NFL, with only the Miami Dolphins receiving a worse ranking. Schatz believes Las Vegas' tight ends, Michael Mayer and Brock Bowers, might be the best of the bunch.

Breece Hall (RB - NYJ)
7/3/24 7:00 AM - Meet the 2024 New Orleans Saints coaches: John Benton. Benton spent the 2021-2022 seasons as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator of the New York Jets. In 2022, Benton's position group showcased their depth and versatility as nine different starters formed seven different combinations, with the Jets improving their win total by three games. Before suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week Seven, rookie running back Breece Hall developed and shined behind the Jets offensive line, carrying 80 times for 463 yards (5.8 avg.) with four touchdowns and catching 19 passes for 218 yards with one touchdown. Entering the starting lineup in Week Five after recovering from an injury, starting left tackle Duane Brown did not give up a sack in 12 contests.

Ty Johnson (RB - BUF)
7/3/24 6:44 AM - Former Jets' Castoff current Frontrunner in race for Bills' RB2 role. Running back Ty Johnson proved valuable in his first season with the Buffalo Bills, and his performance has apparently earned him the opportunity to compete for the RB2 role. With Johnson being the most-seasoned option on the current roster, the Bills need to install a primary backup behind RB1 James Cook. Fourth-round rookie Ray Davis and undrafted Frank Gore Jr. will likely factor into the equation, but Johnson's experience gives the sixth-year player an edge.

Aaron Rodgers (QB - NYJ)
7/3/24 5:53 AM - Quarterbacks Could Lead NFC North Takeover. For years, in any discussion of the NFL's big guns at quarterback, former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was an army of one in the NFC North. While there would be an occasional big year from Detroit's Matthew Stafford, Minnesota and Chicago rarely had stability at the position during Rodgers' tenure. NFL.com's Eric Edholm ranked the strength of the quarterback rooms in each division, and the NFC North was near the bottom of the list, coming in at sixth.

Miami, we got f–king three practice squad guys playing for us. Nobody can f–king — you could have Pat Mahomes, he can't

Buffalo Bills (DEF - BUF)
7/3/24 4:43 AM - WATCH: Bills knew they couldn't make a huge trade up in 2024 NFL Draft. A common narrative among Bills Mafia and draft pundits heading into the 2024 NFL Draft was that the Buffalo Bills needed to take a huge swing and trade up in the draft to acquire one of the top-tier wide receivers to pair with Josh Allen. This thought grew even stronger after general manager Brandon Beane moved All-Pro wideout Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans for a 2025 second-round pick in early April. An interaction between Beane and New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen documented in the season premiere of HBO's Hard Knocks Offseason with the New York Giants divulged that Buffalo knew a trade into the top 10, or more specifically into the top six, wasn't possible.

Indianapolis Colts (DEF - IND)
7/3/24 4:32 AM - NFL analyst believes Indianapolis Colts have 'unique weapon' in former Day 2 pick. As the Indianapolis Colts prepare for the second season under Shane Steichen, the tight end position remains somewhat of a question mark. With veteran starter Mo Alie-Cox on the roster bubble, there could be some changes coming to the room when the team concludes training camp and the preseason. It could lead the way for third-year tight end Jelani Woods to see an expanded role, something Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports wants to see. "Shane Steichen saw how tight ends can make life easy on quarterbacks during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, so the former 6-foot-7 all-state basketball player could be utilized as a unique weapon in Indy," Benjamin wrote.

Next, I project what the offensive line room will look like heading into the 2024 season. After missing most of the 2022 season with a torn biceps, Slater returned and started all regular-season games in 2023. Along with continuing to be a dominant force at protecting Justin Herbert's blindside, it's imperative that he returns to form as a run blocker, something he was sharp at in his first season when he was named Second-Team All-Pro, especially as the offense will take a run-heavy approach.
