Who Won The Nfl Playoff Game Last Night?

The NFL playoffs are in full swing and last night’s game was a doozy. Who came out on top? Read our blog post to find out!

Introduction

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world.

The NFC Playoff Picture

The NFC playoff picture is coming into focus following last night’s game. The Packers and Seahawks both won, while the 49ers lost. This leaves the NFC with four teams vying for three spots. Who will win and who will go home?

The Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) North division. It is the third-oldest franchise in the NFL, dating back to 1919, and is the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team based in the United States. Home games have been played at Lambeau Field since 1957.

The Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in Arlington, Texas. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) East division. The Cowboys have won five Super Bowls – all with Hall of Fame quarterback (and former Cowboy) Roger Staubach – tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers for second most in NFL history, behind only the New England Patriots’ six championships.

The Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks clinched the NFC West title with a dominant 48-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night. With the victory, the Seahawks secured the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs and will host the No. 6 seed Minnesota Vikings in a wild-card game next weekend.

The Seahawks were in complete control from start to finish against the Cardinals, jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and extending it to 28-7 by halftime. Seattle’s offense was balanced and efficient all night, with quarterback Russell Wilson throwing for 176 yards and two touchdowns and running for another score.

The Seahawks’ defense was equally impressive, shutting down Arizona’s offense and forcing four turnovers. Seattle will now look to carry its momentum into the playoffs as it tries to make a run at a second straight Super Bowl title.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a professional American football team based in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) South division. The club joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team, along with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Bucs played their first season in 1977 and posted a winning record, which was something that an expansion team had never done before. They reached the playoffs for the first time in 1979 and went on to win their first NFC Championship that same year. The Bucs then made it to their first Super Bowl appearance in January of 2003, but unfortunately lost to the Oakland Raiders by a score of 48-21.

The AFC Playoff Picture

The New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs will face off in the AFC Championship game next week. The Patriots beat the Los Angeles Chargers last night, and the Chiefs beat the Indianapolis Colts. This will be the first time these two teams have met in the playoffs since the 2016 season.

The New England Patriots

The New England Patriots are the current leaders in the AFC playoff race. They have a 10-2 record and are currently in first place in the conference. The Patriots have clinched a playoff berth and are on track to earn a first-round bye. They are also in contention for the top overall seed in the playoffs.

The next closest team in the AFC playoff race is the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have an 9-3 record and are currently in second place in the conference. The Chiefs have not yet clinched a playoff berth, but they are still in good position to do so. They could potentially earn a first-round bye if they can win out and if the Patriots lose one of their remaining games.

The third team in contention for an AFC playoff spot is the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have an 8-4 record and are currently in third place in the conference. The Steelers have not yet clinched a playoff berth, but they are still very much alive in the race. They could potentially earn a wild card spot if they can win out and if either the Chiefs or Patriots stumble down the stretch.

The Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Steelers compete in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) North division. Founded in 1933, the Steelers are the oldest franchise in the AFC.

In contrast to their status as perennial also-rans in the pre-merger NFL, where they were the oldest team never to win a league championship, the Steelers of the post-merger (1970) era are one of the most successful NFL franchises. Since the advent of free agency in 1993, they have been notable players in signing and retaining many future Pro Football Hall of Famers: Rod Woodson, Jerome Bettis, Jack Ham, Mel Blount, John Stallworth, Mike Webster, Jack Lambert, Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann and currently Troy Polamalu and Hines Ward. The team has an intense rivalry with the Baltimore Ravens.

The Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts are a professional American football team based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are members of the South Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Colts compete in the NFL as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) South division. Since the 2008 season, the Colts have played their games in Lucas Oil Stadium. Previously, they played for over two decades (1984–2007) at the RCA Dome. Since 1987, the Colts have been mostly successful, with 19 playoff appearances, 11 AFC South championships, five AFC Championships, and two Super Bowl victories (Super Bowl XLI and Super Bowl XLIV).

The Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are the current AFC Champions, having defeated the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. They finished the regular season with a record of 12-4, good for first place in the AFC West. The Broncos then went on to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Divisional Round, and the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game.
