The NFL playoffs begin on Saturday, and there will be a little Oklahoma flavor to them.
Led by star Baker Mayfield on the Cleveland Browns, the Sooners have 10 players on NFL active rosters for the playoffs. It’s not the most by a single college football program, but it’s a lot.
The Buffalo Bills had two former players starting on the offensive line. Cody Ford suffered a season-ending injury during the regular season, but Daryl Williams will start for the Bills. Buffalo will take on the Indianapolis Colts at 12:05 p.m. CT.
The Baltimore Sooners made the playoffs, too. The Ravens have Marquise Brown, Mark Andrews, Orlando Brown and Ben Powers starting for them. That game with the Tennessee Titans is scheduled for Sunday at 12:05 p.m. CT.
Mayfield and the Browns will play on Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cleveland beat Pittsburgh a week ago to clinch a spot in the playoffs.
Ogbonnia ‘Obo’ Okoronkwo and Bobby Evans aren’t starters for the Los Angeles Chargers, but they’ll be in the Playoffs as the Rams take on the Seattle Seahawks at 3:40 p.m. on Saturday.
Two special teams players made it, too. Tress Way will punt for Washington and James Winchester will long snap for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Former Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray was on the verge of the playoffs, but fell just short.
