After the official start of the playoffs, it seems that the speed of time has begun to accelerate, like a tornado, whistling by, and before there is time to react, the wild card games are all over.

On January 7, the No. 3 seed New Orleans Saints of the National League defeated the No. 6 seed Detroit Lions, with a final score of "45-28"; The third-seeded Houston Texans defeated the sixth-seeded Cincinnati Tigers to make it 31-10.

On January 8, the No. 4 seed of the National League, the New York Giants, defeated the No. 5 seed Atlanta Falcons, with a final score of "24-2"; The fourth-seeded Denver Broncos of the American League defeated the fifth-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers to finish 29-23.

In other words, all the top seeds beat the low seeds to advance to the next round; And almost all of them are big wins, and the strength comparison presents an exaggerated contrast, not like a playoff game at all, but more like a strong team beating a fish belly.

As a result, the matchups in the divisional rounds have all become matchups of high seeds.

League of Nations, Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers vs. New Orleans Saints.

American League, New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans.

Of the four games in the Wild Card Game, the only unexpected scorching game came when the Broncos met the Steelers.

"The Chosen One" Tim Thibaud has once again become the center of attention of the entire league, even surpassing many rookie players such as Lu Ke, Cam Newton, Andy Dalton, etc., because this time, Thibaud won the playoffs and defeated the championship favorite Pittsburgh Steelers!

Miracle, birth!

With an 8-8 record, the Denver Broncos are undoubtedly the least favored team of any team in the entire league in the playoffs, and starting quarterback Thibaud is the laughing stock of everyone, and no one thinks they can beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are the league's number one defensive team.

Thibaud's collegiate wildcats are almost a child's game for the Steelers' defensive team, and they are vulnerable.

Before the game officially began, people couldn't wait to start talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers being a ticking time bomb in the American League playoffs this year, and after defeating the Denver Broncos, they will face the New England Patriots led by Tom Brady.

But all of them fell through the glasses!

In this wild card game, Thibaud ushered in a full-scale explosion in the second quarter of the game, achieving a "20:0" record in a single quarter, occupying an absolute advantage, and directly beating the Steelers; Later, in the second half, Ben Rosslisberger woke up from his dream and led the offensive and defensive groups to blow the horn of a comprehensive counterattack.

As the game time drew to a close, the Steelers tied the score at "23:23" and successfully dragged the game into overtime.

After going into overtime, the Denver Broncos took the lead in attacking, and on the first pass of the first gear, Thibaud found wide receiver Demarius Thomas with a short pass from the middle, who ran all the way from his own 20-yard line, ran for 80 yards, and went directly into the opponent's end zone to complete the touchdown and kill the game.

According to the official rules of the NFL, in overtime, only one side needs to score a touchdown, then the game will end directly, without additional points, similar to the golden ball in football, instant death.

The final score, "29:23", the Denver Broncos defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After the victory, Thibaud got down on one knee alone, praying and thanking God, and the photo caused a frenzy of retweets on the Internet; At the same time, there was a tsunami of reaction on social networks, and everyone seemed to have joined the wave of frenzied amazement and consternation.

On Twitter, an average of more than 9,000 tweets about the match appeared every second, nearly double the number when Ben-** was killed, setting a new all-time record for Twitter. All netizens are exclaiming, "The miracle of God of the Chosen One".

It is precisely because all of this is so incredible that God's favor seems to be the best explanation.

In 2009, the New Orleans Saints ended in a three-game losing streak in the regular season, but after entering the playoffs, they turned on the strong opponent mode, swept all the way, and finally defeated Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl and successfully won the first Super Bowl trophy in team history.

At the same time, it also set a record: the first team in league history to win the Super Bowl after ending the regular season with a losing streak.

In 2011, the Denver Broncos also ended in a three-game losing streak in the regular season and made the playoffs with trepidation, but they turned on the Halo mode in the first round and defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As a result, people began to speculate, is the Chosen One really going to complete the counterattack? The next game against the New England Patriots, one is the unyielding career of a low-pick quarterback, and the other is the miracle journey of the chosen son who has become the laughing stock of the league, who will have the last laugh?

The playoffs are indeed the playoffs, from matchups to accidents, everything is possible, and the story of the dark horse's counterattack is always a surprise, but it also makes people's blood boil. For neutral fans, it's a complete carnival!

In an instant, the second round of the divisional round became interesting.

League of Nations, Lu Ke meets Brissy! American League, Thibaud vs. Brady!

Both games were for the new generation of quarterbacks to challenge the elite quarterbacks; Moreover, both quarterbacks have written a fairytale rise trajectory this season, like the story of Cinderella, and after casting their magic, they stood in front of the prince and won the attention of the world, and now the question is, when will the clock ring at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night? Or will it never ring again?

Also, the National League, Manning Jr. vs. Rogers!

Everything went according to the script that the league was expecting.

Strictly speaking, except for the Houston Texans' game against the Baltimore Ravens, the other three divisional games are bound to be highly anticipated, and they can be called the top feast of quarterback matchups, and no one wants to miss it; But even this exceptional divisional competition has been a lot of fun this year.

Rookie defensive end JJ Watt of the Houston Texans has shown a strong dominance, with six individual tackles, three joint tackles, two tackle quarterbacks, and one steal return touchdown in the Wild Card Game, and the rookie has shown a jaw-dropping ability to make the difference between the game.

After joining the league in 2002, the team reached the playoffs for the first time in history, and they made it past the first round.

The Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game will be the league's fourth-defensive vs. league's third-most defensive; At the same time, the clash between rookie defensive end JJ Watt and Ravens quarterback Joe Fraco is bound to generate more conversation.

The four divisional matches are also constantly talked about and eye-catching! The playoffs, after all, are different, and even the weakest team is enough to cause a storm!

……

When the first round of the playoffs was over, the losers were quickly forgotten, even the Pittsburgh Steelers, whose season was over, and now that all eyes were on the winners, the conversation about the second round of the division quickly began to heat up.

Needless to say, every playoff game is full of variables, either team can win, and any team can lose, even the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots, the two favorites, and every game can be said to be a "five-five", with both teams having an equal chance of victory, including the Denver Broncos.

Then, predicting the outcome of the playoffs, the difficulty increases exponentially.

Another issue of "Within the Alliance" and Charles Davis again.

However, this time Charles's opinion was supported by his colleagues, because after losing the third gamble, Charles seemed to have finally reined in his edge, and no longer sharpened his words, but became relaxed; And because the playoffs are meant to be a win-win matchup for both sides, even if Charles makes a slightly aggressive statement, it is a matter of course.

There is no doubt that Charles chose the New Orleans Saints, or rather the opponent of the San Francisco 49ers.

"The Saints are in great shape, Brice is at the peak of his career this season, leading the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns, and while the quarterback is behind Rodgers, the Saints are more championship-worthy than the packers personally. The simple reason is that the Saints' defensive team has been much better this season, far outpacing the packers. ”

In the Wild Card Game, Bliss showed his explosive power, and in the final quarter of the game, he completely blinded the Lions defense, and he has that quality. Obviously, standing on the stage of the playoffs, the veteran's experience and quality will be the key to dominate the game. ”

"We all remember the Green Bay Packers as the defending champions, but no one should forget that the New Orleans Saints were the Super Bowl champions the year before. In this year's Nations League Championship, the Packers played against the Saints, which is a high probability event. ”

Charles's analysis seems calm and clear, but it has lost its edge, it seems that after three gambling games, he has become cautious, once, his sharpness and sharpness have been sought after by countless fans, but now, his analysis has lost its character, full of reason, but too rigid.

Host Edward Bowen could feel this too, and then added, "What about the San Francisco 49ers?" Spencer, are you going to share your thoughts on the 49ers? Or do you think the Saints will win the game? ”

Spencer Larson, the biggest supporter of the San Francisco 49ers this season and the most accurate commentator in the "league" this season, is clearly taking a stand this time, "49, of course. ”
