Inside divisional-round numbers: What Josh Allen has in common with a former congressman

Using Stathead from Pro Football Reference, Yardbarker shines a spotlight on key names and numbers from Sunday's divisional-round action:

Evans breaks own record in loss: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers put in a good effort but came up short in a 31-23 defeat at the Detroit Lions. The Bucs' star receiver, Mike Evans, caught eight passes for 147 yards and a touchdown. Despite the loss, Evans broke his own record for most receiving yards by a Tampa Bay player in a postseason game. His previous record was 119, set in both the 2020 wild-card round at Washington and the 2021 divisional round against the Los Angeles Rams.

Lions come through in clutch: Rookie Jahmyr Gibbs' 31-yard touchdown run broke a 17-17 tie early in the fourth quarter and gave the Lions the lead for good. A clutch playoff performance for Detroit was in the making for generations. The last time the Lions won a playoff game in which they were either tied or trailing after three quarters was on Dec. 22, 1957. They trailed by six points going into the fourth quarter but scored 10 points in the final period for a 31-27 win in the Western Division playoff en route to an NFL Championship Game win over Cleveland the next week. The Lions' opponents in that Western Division playoff were the 49ers and that comeback took place in San Francisco, where Detroit is headed for Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

Kelce teams up with Gronk in this category: Tight end Travis Kelce caught two touchdown passes in the Kansas City Chiefs' 27-24 win at the Buffalo Bills. While Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes surpassed Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski for the most touchdowns by a quarterback-receiver combination in postseason history (16), Kelce tied Gronkowski for the most playoff games with multiple receiving touchdowns by a tight end (four).

Allen sets capital record: Despite another heartbreaking Bills playoff loss, quarterback Josh Allen threw a touchdown pass and ran for two more. Allen's two TDs on the ground made him the first Buffalo quarterback to score multiple rushing touchdowns in a playoff game. Allen and former United States Congressman Jack Kemp are the only two QBs in franchise history with rushing touchdowns in the postseason.
