This is it. At the conclusion of a historic, 17-game regular season there will be no more second-chances and no more opportunities to bounce back for the 14 NFL Franchises left standing: the glory and the pain of the NFL playoffs set to commence this weekend when the Cincinnati Bengals host the Las Vegas Raiders. For New England Patriots pass rusher Matt Judon and his teammates, their playoff push will begin in the hours that follow -- quarter-past noon on Sunday on the Australian East coast -- when they travel into the frozen and very, very hostile Highmark Stadium to take on the Buffalo Bills in what is the first playoff meeting between the two rivals for the first time since an AFL divisional-round game in 1963 – before the Super Bowl era even commenced. After signing a 4 years, $54.5 million contract with the Pats in the offseason (that’s almost 75 million in Australian dollarydoos) after starting his career with the Baltimore Ravens, Judon has certainly had a strong start to life at Gillette Stadium – recording a career-high 12.5 sacks and earning a third Pro Bowl honour as his side ended what was, no doubt an agonizing, one-year absence from the playoffs for its fans. In conversation with ESPN’s Patrick Djordjevic, the 29-year-old out of Grand Valley State, talked about his mindset surrounding putting in the work, what makes the Patriots a difficult schematic match-up on the offensive and defensive side of the ball and the little considered aspects of players moving from one city to another in free agency.
