Who Is Still In The Nfl Playoffs?

The NFL playoffs are down to the final four teams. Who will win the conference championships and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl?

AFC

The Baltimore Ravens have clinched the AFC North and are currently the number one seed in the conference. They will face the winner of the Texans and Colts game. The Kansas City Chiefs have also clinched a playoff spot and are the number five seed. They will most likely play the Patriots in the Wild Card round.

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. The Ravens compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division. The team plays its home games at M&T Bank Stadium and is headquartered in Owings Mills.

The Ravens were established in 1996, when Art Modell, who was then the owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to relocate the franchise from Cleveland to Baltimore. As part of a settlement between Modell, the city of Cleveland, and the other NFL owners, Modell was required to leave the Browns’ history and records in Cleveland for a replacement franchise that would continue as the Browns. In return, he was allowed to take his own personnel and team to Baltimore, where such personnel would then form an expansion team. The Ravens have qualified for the NFL playoffs eleven times since 2000, with two Super Bowl victories (Super Bowl XXXV and Super Bowl XLVII), two AFC Championship titles (2000 and 2012), 15 playoff victories (11–4 record), four AFC North division titles (2003, 2006, 2011, 2012), five AFC Wild Card wins (2000, 2001 , 2003, 2008) and are currently on an active streak of six consecutive playoff appearances. The Ravens organization was formerly led by general manager Ozzie Newsome from 1996 until his retirement following the 2018 season.

New England Patriots

After finishing the regular season with a 12-4 record, the New England Patriots are once again one of the top seeds in the AFC playoffs. The Patriots have won the AFC East division title for the ninth straight season and are looking to return to the Super Bowl for the third consecutive year.

In contrast with their status as perennial also-rans in the pre-merger NFL, where they were mostly a .500 team with one brief period of greatness during the late 1970s, since the 1970 AFL–NFL merger, they have been one of the most successful NFL franchises. The team has won more Super Bowl titles (6) than any other franchise, and hosted more conference championship games (15) than any other team in the NFL.[5][6] The Steelers have won 8 AFC championships and played in 23 AFC Championship Games – tied with the Denver Broncos for second most appearances behind only New England (27).

The Cowboys are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history. They have won five Super Bowls, eight conference championships, and 22 divisional titles.

Wild Card Round

The NFL playoffs are down to the final eight teams. In the AFC, the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Kansas City Chiefs have advanced to the divisional round. In the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, and Los Angeles Rams will compete for a spot in the NFC Championship game.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers finished the regular season 12-4, good enough for the No. 5 seed in the AFC. They’ll travel to Baltimore to take on the No. 4 seed Ravens, who finished the regular season 10-6. The Ravens are coming off a big win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, while the Chargers lost to the Broncos.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Seattle Seahawks

The Dallas Cowboys take on the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL Wild Card Round. The winner of this game will advance to the divisional round to take on the Green Bay Packers.

The Cowboys are coming into this game with a much-improved defense. They finished the regular season ranked 9th in yards allowed per game and 8th in points allowed per game. The Seahawks offense will be a tough test for them, but if they can keep Russell Wilson in check, they have a chance to win.

The Seahawks offense struggled at times during the regular season, but they are still a dangerous team. Russell Wilson is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and he has a talented group of weapons to work with. If the Seahawks can get their offense clicking, they will be tough to beat.

This is going to be a close game, but the Seahawks have a slight edge. They are at home and they have more experience in big games. The Cowboys are a good team, but they might not be ready for this stage yet.

Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts

This Sunday, the Houston Texans will take on the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. The Texans are coming off a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the last game of the regular season, while the Colts secured a spot in the playoffs with a win over the Tennessee Titans.

The Texans are led by quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has thrown for over 4,000 yards and 26 touchdowns this season. The Colts’ quarterback, Andrew Luck, has had a resurgent season after missing all of 2017 due to injury, throwing for over 4,500 yards and 39 touchdowns.

Both teams have strong defenses; the Texans are ranked 3rd in the NFL in total defense, while the Colts are ranked 5th. The key matchup in this game will be between the two quarterbacks; whoever can make more big plays will likely come out victorious.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns

The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns will face off in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. The Steelers are the number six seed in the AFC, while the Browns are the number seven seed. This will be a rematch of a regular season game that was won by the Browns, but the Steelers will be favored to win this time around.
