Doug Baldwin • WR • Seattle Seahawks • Sixth season • @DougBaldwinJr

Seattle was eliminated from the NFC playoffs in a 36-20 loss at Atlanta. Baldwin finished his exceptional season with another strong performance, leading the Seahawks in targets (9) and receptions (5), gaining 80 yards with one touchdown.

David DeCastro • G • Pittsburgh Steelers • Fifth season

Despite not scoring a touchdown, Pittsburgh defeated Kansas City in the AFC Divisional Round, 18-16.

DeCastro's 83.0 grade from PFF was indicative of Pittsburgh's dominant offensive line, which set up a ridiculous 81 yards before contact for Bell.
