We have reached the playoffs in the NFL, and as such, the length of this article has substantially decreased. No matter! Some of the Buckeyes who are now in the NFL still made big plays over the weekend. Here are a few of the most important ones.

J.K. Dobbins Scores in Seventh Straight Game

What a second half it has been for J.K. Dobbins. After this four-yard scamper yesterday, he has now scored a touchdown in seven straight games. 

Dobbins finished with nine carries for 43 yards and that touchdown, "adding" a catch for -6 yards. Elsewhere in this game, Malik Harrison finished with two tackles while appearing on both defense and special teams, as the Ravens knocked off Mike Vrabel and the Titans to set up a date with Buffalo next week.

Michael Thomas Returns from IR, Scores Touchdown

Michael Thomas may have returned a bit too late to help fantasy teams, but he returned right on time for the Saints, who knocked off the Bears yesterday behind 73 yards and a touchdown from Can't Guard Mike.

Elsewhere in this game, Marshon Lattimore finished with two tackles and two pass defenses, while Malcolm Jenkins added three tackles and a QB hit. 

Washington Football Team Goes Down

One of the teams that had the most Buckeye appearances was the Washington Football Team. While Marcus Baugh and Dwayne Haskins are no longer on the active roster, the WFT still featured Terry McLaurin and Chase Young. Unfortunately for Washington fans, Tom Brady and the Buccaneers were able to sneak away with a win, ending the season for a young, up-and-coming roster.

Chase Young ended his likely Defensive Rookie of the Year Season with a three-tackle performance, while McLaurin hauled in six passes for 75 yards.
