What Went Down on a Crazy Divisional Weekend!

Hi, the NFC and AFC Championships have been decided with a few crazy games from the weekend. Here is everything:

Seahawks @ Falcons, My Predicted Winner: Seahawks, Final Score: Seahawks 20, Falcons 36:
My prediction went way wrong on this one. I am sad to see my favorite team eliminated from the playoffs but only 1 team ends up winning the Super Bowl so so be it. The Falcons offense played insanely and their D stepped up and came in clutch when they needed it. The Seahawks started out the game playing better but then the Falcons got a safety on the Hawks to give them a 2 point lead and that was the beginning of the end. The Falcons won and will be back next week in their home stadium for the NFC championship game. Julio Jones, Matt Ryan, and the Falcons offense played really well and could possibly make the Super Bowl.

Texans @ Patriots, My Predicted Winner: Patriots, Final Score: Patriots 34, Texans 16:
The Patriots did what everyone thought they would, destroy the Texans at home to go to their 6th AFC championship in a row. The Texans didn't actually look too bad and Brock Osweiler wasn't bad. The defense though didn't step up like it needed to and thats what crushed them in the end. The Patriots didn't look as good as usual though and they will need to fix their flaws so they can win the AFC Championship.

Packers @ Cowboys, MPW: Packers, Final Score: Packers 34, Cowboys 31:
This was a great game as everyone thought it would be and it was another close one. Insane Aaron Rodgers lead the Packers to a huge 28-10 lead but the Cowboys rallied back and with 1 minute left, the score was tied 31-31 with the Packers with the ball. Aaron Rodgers slung one to Jared Cook who made a memorable toe drag which set up the game winning field goal. The Packers are moving on to their 2nd NFC championship in 3 seasons.

Steelers @ Chiefs, MPW: Steelers, Final Score: Steelers 18, Chiefs 16:
This was a very boring game. The Steelers scored 6 field goals and the Chiefs had field goals and Td's but none were very exciting. Tyreek Hill was a no show, Le'Veon Bell played well though. Steelers kicker Chris Boswell set a post-season record with 6 field goals in one game. It would have been a more excited game if when the Chiefs scored and went for 2 they got it. They went for 2 and got it but a holding penalty set them back 10 yards and they couldn't get the 2 point conversion giving the Steelers controll of the game. The Steelers won and are moving on to the AFC championship.

Thanks for reading and I am now 7-1 on post-season predictions!
