Hi, this weekend was crazy and I am going to talk about each game and who won, not all of my predictions were right and so I will have to say who I think wins each of the next games.
1. Chiefs @ Patriots My Predicted Winner: Chiefs Final Score: Patriots 27 Chiefs 20
I predicted that the Chiefs were going to go all the way to the Super Bowl and my prediction was wrong. The game was pretty close the whole time. Everyone thought the Chiefs might win because of their hot O and D but their whole team slowed down. On D the Chiefs gave up a ton of yardage and on O the team couldn't drive the ball like they usually do. This was a big problem for them because the Patriots O and D played great despite losing a lot of their last games. With Julian Edleman back, the Patriots are better than they ever could be. Hopefully the Chiefs can get on another roll next season and make the playoffs again because they are a fun team to watch and they are great. But for the 5th year in a row the Patriots are going back to the AFC championship game.
2. Packers @ Cardinals MPW: Cardinals Final Score: Cardinals 27 Packers 20
What a close game. The Cardinals were favored all the way in this game but it was much closer than fans would have liked. The game started with the Cardinals up but then the Packers scored and got the lead. A while into the game the score was Packers 13 Cardinals 10. The Cardinals stepped it up by scoring a field goal and a TD. It was the 4th quarter with 10 seconds left on the clock. The score was Cardinals 20 Packers 13. They needed a TD to win it, Aaron Rodgers got the snap and broke out of a tackle, 5 seconds left. Rodgers just randomly chucked the ball super high into the end zone and it was CAUGHT BY PACKERS JEFF JANIS FOR THE TD! What a play, the Packers kicked the extra point and the game went into overtime. On 1st down the Cardinals threw a short pass to star WR Larry Fitzgerald and Fitzgerald turned the catch into a 50 something yard gain by breaking at least 3 tackles, he was finally brought down at the goal line. Then the Cardinals scored and kicked the extra point. The Cardinals had won the game and are advancing to the NFC championship!
3. Steelers @ Broncos MPW: Steelers Final Score: Steelers 16 Broncos 23
This was probably the biggest upset of the day, the Steelers were favored to win because the Broncos made the mistake of starting old QB Peyton Manning. Wrong! Manning had a pretty decent game, scoring a TD or two and leading the Broncos to a win against the favored Steelers. The Steelers were missing RB DeAngelo Williams and WR Antonio Brown two of their best players but 3rd string RB Fitzgerald Toussaint is pretty good also. The Steelers had multiple chances to keep scoring but they somehow let them pass. The Steelers gave up a win that could have been theirs and so there is not much else to say about this game.
4. (GAME OF THE WEEK) Seahawks @ Panthers MPW: Seahawks Final Score: Seahawks 24 Panthers 31
What a game. This to me was the game of the week. It was such a close game, that left fans of both teams very nervous. The Panthers started the game off by getting the kickoff and they had an ok return. On 1st down pro bowl RB Jonathan Stewart ran 50 yards to the goal line, then the Panthers scored. The Seahawks got the ball and RB Marshawn Lynch got the ball and got tackled down almost for a safety. Then on 3rd down Russell Wilson threw a pick 6 to Panthers pro bowl star Luke Kuechly. Then the Seahawks got the ball back with the score 14-0 Panthers, on 1st down Russell Wilson threw another pick. Then the Panthers O scored. 21-0 Panthers. By halftime the score was 31-0. In the second half the Seahawks made a huge comeback, they scored 3 TD's and a field goal. The score was 31-24 Panthers and the Seahawks were only down one TD. One minute left in the game and the Seahawks kicked an onside kick. The Panthers got it. The Panthers ended the Seahawks season by kneeling down and running out the clock. The Seahawks did lose but TE Luke Willson shined and now I know how underrated he is. There were a few long passes that Seahawks WR's didn't catch that would have won them the game. But for the first time in 2 years the Seahawks won't be going to the NFC Championship!
What a crazy divisional weekend! Next week the AFC championship is Patriots @ Broncos and the NFC championship is Cardinals @ Panthers.
