How Former Hoosiers Fared in the Wildcard Round of the NFL Playoffs

Written by Evan McShane (@very_reasonable)

Two former Indiana football players were active for Wild Card Weekend of the NFL Playoffs. With Jordan Howard and Nate Sudfeld of the Philadelphia Eagles eliminated, only two Hoosiers remain in the playoffs. Next week, in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, Tevin Coleman of the San Francisco 49ers will host the Minnesota Vikings. Rodger Saffold and the Titans will go on the road to face the Baltimore Ravens. 

Rodger Saffold - Tennessee Titans

Roger Saffold made an appearance in the playoffs for the third straight year, with his prior two postseasons being with the LA Rams. Saffold started in his fifth career playoff game on Saturday when the Titans dethroned the New England Patriots in a gutty road win. 

Jordan Howard - Philadelphia Eagles

Jordan Howard was active for his second playoff game of his NFL career. Howard did not record a statistic in the Eagles loss to the Seahawks. Howard's season ends after struggling with injuries throughout the second half of the season. Howard hopes to bounce back next year and be the feature back Hoosier fans know he can. 

Nate Sudfeld - Philadelphia Eagles

Nate Sudfeld was inactive for the Eagles playoff loss to the Seahawks. Sudfeld ended his 2019-20 season struggling to stay healthy, but hopes to return next season and carve out a backup role.
