Young AFC Players Stroud and Downs Key in Frantic Wild-Card Race

As the AFC wild-card race heats up, several young players are becoming increasingly important for their respective teams. CB Martin Emerson of the Cleveland Browns has been crucial in the absence of injured cornerback Denzel Ward. EDGE Nick Herbig of the Pittsburgh Steelers may need to step up in the absence of injured pass rushers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. WR Josh Downs of the Indianapolis Colts needs to be more involved in the passing game to sustain drives. QB C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans will need to regain his earlier form for the team to have a chance at the playoffs. CB Ja'Quan McMillian of the Denver Broncos has been a standout player on their defense. S Jordan Battle of the Cincinnati Bengals has helped improve their defense's performance. RB James Cook of the Buffalo Bills adds a dynamic element to their rushing attack.
