1. Green Bay Packers: The Packers sliced and diced the top-rated Los Angeles Rams defense in the Divisional Round. Green Bay had 484 total yards and the Packers’ offense looked great on Saturday. The Packers are going to be tough to beat these playoffs and should be the clear Super Bowl favorites.
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tampa was able to avenge their two regular season losses against the Saints to now find themselves in the NFC Championship Game. Two storylines came to light in Sunday’s victory. Tom Brady, 43, has not lost a step and the Buccaneers defense is playing at an extremely high level. Tampa has their work cut out for them as they get ready to enter the “Frozen Tundra,” but are playing some great football at the moment.
3. Kansas City Chiefs: Even with a hobbled Patrick Mahomes, and the fact that Mahomes left the game late in the third quarter due to a concussion, the defending champions were still able to advance. The Chiefs offense, even with a three-week layoff, did not miss a step against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Mahomes had the Chiefs in scoring position all six drives he played.
4. Buffalo Bills: Even though the Buffalo Bills won, and punched their ticket to the AFC Championship Game, one of the NFL’s most prolific offenses looked pedestrian on Saturday night. MVP candidate Josh Allen looked average and the Bills offense only had 220 total yards. The positive for Bills fans is the way their defense completely controlled former MVP Lamar Jackson and forced the pivotal “Pick Six” that sealed the game for Buffalo.
