Chargers’ Asante Samuel is an interception machine against the Jaguars
Asante Samuel, Jr. had a famous football name before he ever stepped on an NFL field. In his playoff debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday night, the younger Samuel has made a name for himself.
Facing 2021 number one overall pick Trevor Lawrence at quarterback, the player drafted 46 selections later to the Los Angeles Chargers has been the far more dominant second-year pro: Three interceptions … in the first half.
Al Michaels returned to NBC on Saturday night and it led to an extremely cool, full-circle moment. The legendary play-by-play announcer was on the call for Asante Samuel playoff interceptions against the Jaguars, 17 years apart.

The San Francisco wide receiver weighed in on the controversial tackle after the franchise’s win.
49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel contributed a big part in San Francisco’s 41–23 wild card win against the Seahawks on Saturday.
But in helping San Francisco secure the big win, the 49ers wide receiver was part of a controversial tackle during the game with Seahawks’ Johnathan Abram. With under 10:30 to play in the third quarter, Samuel picked up a first down for the 49ers on a 21-yard reception and was then tackled by Abram.
