Former UCLA football standouts Alec Anderson (Buffalo Bills), Carson Steele (Kansas City Chiefs) and Colson Yankoff (Washington Commanders) will compete in the NFL playoff conference-championship round this weekend after helping their teams to wins in the divisional round. Ka'imi Fairbairn (Houston Texans) and Quentin Lake (Los Angeles Rams) had their seasons ended after career years.
