1597 Second encounter

The two matches of the American League Division are officially hot, although it is slightly different from expectations, but there will definitely be no shortage of highlights This is the NFL playoffs!

"Denver Broncos vs San Diego Chargers", this division civil war in the Western Division of the American League, but it is not so obvious as imagined, the two teams met twice in the regular season, one win and one loss, both sides won on the road, but lost the game at home, so, the Denver Broncos who will sit at home in the playoffs, is it more than lucky?

"New England Patriots vs Indianapolis Colts", this strong matchup between the old and new quarterbacks, the expectation value is even more than the other game, the two sides have not faced each other this season, but in the eleventh week of the regular season last season, facing the fledgling Lack, Brady once educated the juniors at home with a disparity of "59:24", this time again, the more mature Lack is also looking forward to proving that he has the strength to overturn any opponent.

Of course, the most important thing is that the whole country is looking forward to Peyton Manning and Tom Brady being able to meet in the American League finals, and every meeting between these two legendary quarterbacks is bound to be the attention of the United States. How could it not be expected?

The dust has settled on the divisional spots in the American League, and then there is the National League.

The first wild-card game, "Philadelphia Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints."

The Philadelphia Hawks, who have been in a complete reshuffle this season, have welcomed new head coach Chip Kelly, while backup quarterback Nick Falls has taken over after the injury of main quarterback Michael Vic and has unexpectedly played an excellent season, reaching the top of the National League East with a 10-6 record. This story seems to be familiar to some people, as was the case with the San Francisco 49ers two years ago, and second-year quarterback Falls, who was also the quarterback with the 88th pick in the third round, seems to have many similarities with Lu Ke, which also makes people expect more from the team.

After the head coach and a group of key players were suspended, the New Orleans Saints successfully made a strong comeback in the new season, but the 11-5 record still lacked a bit of explosiveness, except for the defeat of the San Francisco 49ers, the other strong matchups were unfortunately lost to the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks respectively, and even were robbed of the top spot in the division by the Carolina Panthers, the arch-rival in the same district, and fell to the wild card game, which also made people question the team's ability to fight hard at key moments.

It's worth mentioning that the New Orleans Saints team has never won on the road in the playoffs in their history, which means that all of their playoffs on the road have ended in defeats, and this time...... They will travel to Philadelphia to play away.

The course of the game also showed a heart-pounding continuous turn again.

After both teams handed over a blank sheet in the first quarter of the game, the New Orleans Saints took the lead, and halfway through the third quarter, they established a "7:20" lead, but then the game entered the rhythm of the Philadelphia Eagles, fully controlled the game from the offensive end to the defensive end, overtook the score in one go, and took a "24:23" lead with 48 seconds left in the game, grasping the initiative to win. Nick Falls is less than a minute away from replicating Luke's 2011 miracle.

In the final 48 seconds, Drew Bliss once again showed the strength and strength of his elite quarterback, leading a textbook wave of no-collar passing offense with only two timeouts remaining, and pushing to the 15-yard line at the edge of the end zone. If it weren't for the lack of a timeout, Brice might have gone straight to the touchdown; But they didn't need a touchdown either, and Sean Payton opted for a free-kick attempt.

Faced with a 37-yard free kick, kicker Shayne-Graham (Shayne-Graham) completed the free kick and consumed all the game time to beat the Philadelphia Eagles and advance to the division stage by two points, and successfully won the first playoff away game in the team's history!

Philadelphia, heartbreak.

The last playoff meeting between the New Orleans Saints and the Philadelphia Eagles was back in 2006, when the New Orleans Saints defeated their opponents at home with a score of "26-24" to reach the Nations League finals; Now the New Orleans Saints defeated their opponents on the road with the same score to enter the division stage, and the final score was "24:26", and the reincarnation of fate also made people inevitably sigh a little.

Game 2 Wild Card Game, "Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers."

There is no need to say more about the glory and excitement of this game, "45:51", won in extra time, just from the score can be seen, this is a game worthy of going down in history.

The two sides battled to a "45-45" in regulation time, and suffered two draws during the fourth quarter, but in the end it was only through the brutal overtime to end the matchup, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team suddenly burst into amazing ability, and ended the game with a tackle and a touchdown.

The game easily set a series of historical records, with a level of anxiety comparable to that of the "Indianapolis Colts vs. Kansas Chiefs" match, which pushed the fierce rivalry of the wild card game to a whole new level and truly ignited a national viewing frenzy!

Judging from the ratings alone, the "San Francisco 49ers vs. Green Bay Packers" wild card game attracted more than 60 million viewers, setting a new high in the NFL this season, and easily completed the 49 million viewers of "Indianapolis Pony vs Kansas Chiefs" in the four wild card games, truly carrying out the suspense of the ups and downs from the beginning to the end.

After all the wild card games ended, the NFL official website conducted a survey, and the best game was selected among the four wild card games, the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers undoubtedly stole 53% of the votes, and won the hearts of all fans in a crushing manner, and the second-place "28-point reversal victory" only won 24% of the votes, the gap was more obvious than expected, and the outstanding performances of Lu Ke and Rodgers The two quarterbacks were also unanimously recognized by all netizens.

Even putting aside the excitement and intensity of the game, Lu Ke once again proved his unparalleled super popularity, more and more ordinary viewers began to tune in to watch the NFL game, and more and more neutral fans began to support the San Francisco 49ers led by Lu Ke, the excellent performance in just three seasons is undoubtedly the best brand effect, and the wonderful game proved that the audience's expectations will never be disappointed, which also strengthened Roger Goodall's determination to shape Lu Ke into a banner and a signboard.

Now, the winner of the National League Wild Card is also officially decided, with the No. 5 seed San Francisco 49 and the No. 6 seed New Orleans Saints both "making the following mistakes" to overturn the top seeds and win a spot in the divisional stage, which also officially determines the situation of the division matchup.

Top seed Seattle Seahawks take on sixth seed New Orleans Saints.

The second-seeded Carolina Panthers takes on the fifth-seeded San Francisco 49ers.

This can be said to be a very interesting form of matchups, this season's National League was originally a strong and weak differentiation, the North and East Divisions of the National League were a scuffle, and the final winning division champions also lost the wild card game; The League of Nations South and League of Nations West are powder kegs, and the competition pattern of bayonets has also continued into the playoffs, and the two divisional matches are "League of Nations South vs League of Nations West", which is also a spectacle.

"Seattle Seahawks vs. New Orleans Saints", this is a traditional "conflict battle", but also a "new and old matchup" worth watching, the offensive team led by Drew Bruce will face the league's famous "Bombing Legion", this group is also one of the most anticipated encounters this season.

In the thirteenth week of the regular season, the New Orleans Saints lost to the Seattle Seahawks with a disparity of "34-7", and this miserable loss was the only game in which the New Orleans Saints had their worst game of the whole season without a double-digit score.

But the playoffs are another story, and it will be up to Sean Payton and Drew Bliss to succeed in overpowering each other's tough defenses.

"Carolina Panthers vs San Francisco 49ers", this is another "contradiction war", and it is also the second round of the "champion show" that the league has paid attention to.

With the league's second-highest defensive group, the Carolina Panthers are back in the playoffs after five years, and their 12-4 record this season is even better, the Thursday night game in the 11th week of the regular season is a masterpiece of the season, and the New Orleans Saints are also 1-1 away defeat, home win, which also proves that they have the ability to defend the top elite quarterbacks, and now, they need to face the San Francisco 49ers led by Lu Ke again.

In the tenth week of the regular season, the Carolina Panthers went to Candlestick Field to challenge the San Francisco 49ers, which was also known as the "battle for the top pick" in 2011, one quarterback was the draft champion, and the other quarterback was the actual champion, the collision between the two was undoubtedly the pinnacle of the third-year quarterback, but in the end, the San Francisco 49ers completed a slaughter with a score of "59:21", leaving no chance for the opponent, and it can even be said that they humiliated the opponent.

In this regard, the fans of the San Francisco 49ers will never give in, because "this is their own effort", Quentin Mikel's malicious collision caused Lu Ke's arm to be slightly injured, and he was not able to fully recover until the playoffs, such a violation of sports ethics is really despicable.

Now, the two teams are about to meet again, and the second round of the "Battle for the Champions" is about to be staged!
