Relax A.J. McCarron. No worries Fitzgerald Toussaint. It's only the biggest game of your life.
The backup Cincinnati quarterback — OK, McCarron's two national title wins at Alabama were probably pretty important, too — makes the first playoff start of his NFL career on Saturday night when the Bengals host the Steelers in the AFC wild-card round. On the other side of the field he'll find Toussaint, who signed to Pittsburgh's practice squad in September before being thrust into a starting role at running back after injuries to Le'Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams.
Toussaint has run for all of 54 yards during two seasons in the league, 24 coming last week when he came in after Williams left with a busted right foot.
