It's another week, it's over.

When the San Francisco 49ers vs. Carolina Panthers game ended, it also meant that all four divisional games of the 2013 playoffs came to an end, and four teams were officially born to advance to the conference finals.

In the previous week's wildcard stage, three of the four games were fought to the end, and the final score difference in the regular season time was within two points, with the only exception being the San Diego Lightning beating the Cincinnati Tigers 27-10.

But what I didn't expect was that all four divisional matches broke expectations.

Strictly speaking, it can't be said that it is a spent, although from a score point of view, it is indeed better than the wild card game...... More intense, not that the score is closer but that the gap is completely widened; But more of an accident, judging from the confrontation scene, the two sides gradually reflected the difference in strength, dividing the eight teams into two grades: the strong and the stronger, and finally the "stronger" won together, and the Huashan Lunjian of the Federation Finals was foreshadowed in advance!

From this point of view, this is undoubtedly a good thing, because there are no upsets, which means that the federation finals will be more intense, exciting and more beautiful.

Isn't that what all neutral fans are looking forward to?

In the first wildcard match, the top seed of the National League, the Seattle Seahawks, took on the sixth-seeded New Orleans Saints.

This game is also widely regarded as a "showdown between the old and the new" plus a "conflict battle", with Drew Bliss, who has returned strongly this season, and Russell Wilson, who has risen strongly this season, going head-to-head, and the battle between these two quarterbacks is undoubtedly the focus of attention, and everyone is looking forward to it.

In the previous regular season, the two teams met once, and in the end, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the opponent at home with a disparity of "34-7"; Now that the playoffs are facing each other again, New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is clearly not going to be easily disarmed, and the confrontation is bound to be more intense.

This was confirmed by the course of the game.

In the first half, the Seattle Seahawks defensive team, which has shown a strong posture of sweeping thousands of troops and dominating the rivers and lakes throughout the season, continued its strong performance, and the Bombers directly kept a clean sheet against the offensive team led by Drew Bliss, leaving the elite quarterback helpless and imprisoned; And this season's outbreak of the best New Orleans Saints defense in recent years also made Russell Wilson suffer, and it was almost impossible to find a shining moment, so all the weight was on the running backs of both teams, and the Seattle Seahawks, who had a deeper running back, became the winner.

Mashawn Lynch broke out in "beast mode" and successfully dominated the first half of the game, helping the home team to achieve a "16-0" lead with an absolutely strong performance.

In the second half, the defensive groups of the two teams were still the protagonists of the game, with a strong and iron-fisted excellent performance to make the offensive groups of both sides dumb together, the whole quarter of the game was cleared, neither team was able to score, and even the free kick area could not be entered, which can be called a dull battle, which also made the Seattle Seahawks enter the fourth quarter with a sixteen-point advantage, while Bliss suffered a rare clean sheet in the first three quarters of the game.

In other words, the Seattle Seahawks defense is indeed the strongest presence in the league.

But in the fourth quarter of the game, Bliss still showed his strong strength again, almost single-handedly revitalized the entire sluggish offensive group, quickly recovered a touchdown at the beginning, and completed the conversion of two additional points, instantly narrowed the score to "16:8", the unreachable point difference suddenly awakened the suspense again, and the tension and excitement of the game went to a higher level.

Subsequently, the two sides were at a stalemate, until Marshawn Lynch shined again on the court, he stepped up to break the situation, completed a 31-yard ground rush touchdown, and the wonderful performance of riding alone to the sky detonated the entire Century Chain Course, and after winning the second personal running touchdown of the game, the score gap widened to "23:8", regaining the initiative to win.

In the final stage of the game, Bliss still refused to disarm, led a wave of 125-second passing touchdown attacks, and after receiving his first passing touchdown of the game, the score was close to "23:15", and the difference returned to eight points again, and a touchdown plus two points conversion can close the gap.

At this point, there were twenty-six seconds left in the race. The New Orleans Saints still have hope of turning the game around.

Head coach Sean Payton didn't hesitate to opt for a gambling kick, but ...... Sadly failed. With the failure of the gambling kick, he also handed over the ball, which officially announced the end of the game.

In the end, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New Orleans Saints with a score of "23:15" and reached the National League finals!

In this game, the Seattle Seahawks, who ranked first in the defensive group this season, still showed their super strength on the defensive end, completely dominating the whole game, facing the elite quarterback Drew Brice, who is known for his accurate passing, but curbed the opponent's pass success rate to a mere 55.8%, almost a career low, completely choking the throat of the New Orleans Saints, and blasting the Legion can be described as a great contribution.

At the same time, the Seattle Seahawks also once again exposed their shortcomings in the offensive end of the lack of enough explosiveness, if it were not for the all-out outburst of Marshawn Lynch, I am afraid that this game would have been overturned by the experienced Bliss, Marshawn contributed 140 yards of ground rushing and two running touchdowns throughout the game, of which the 31-yard running touchdown in the fourth quarter of the game can be described as a winning offense; Russell Wilson, on the other hand, was all but gone.

9-of-18 passes, 103 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions, quarterback rating 67.6, PFF rating 0.3.

The only thing to be commended for is that there were no mistakes, no interceptions and no drops, at least no giving away the ball, and playing the role of quarterback steadily, which is the real "role player", perfectly embedded in the tactical system of head coach Pete Carroll.

In any case, this game of ups and downs, ups and downs, and finally ended with the victory of the Seattle Seahawks, which still showed the Seattle Seahawks' toughness and deep heritage on the defensive end at a critical moment, and did not leave too many opportunities for the New Orleans Saints to turn the tables, and those lights were just illusions.

No matter which opponent you face, this defensive group, which is comparable to the best in the history of the league, is bound to be enough to cause headaches for opponents.

After the game, there was a lot of speculation within the league that if it was against the Carolina Panthers, then Cam Newton and Russell Wilson, two new running quarterbacks, would face each other head-on, and they would face off against the league's No. 1 and No. 2 defensive group, respectively, which was undoubtedly a big attraction; If it's against the San Francisco 49ers, then there is no need to say that the excitement and excitement can be booked in advance early.

Ultimately...... The San Francisco 49ers won their chance to challenge the top seed in the National League.

This also means that the Nations League final will not be able to witness the clash between the top and second seeds, but fans are about to witness the divisional civil war in the National League West, which also confirms once again that the National League West is the most dangerous and closest group of death in the league this season, just like the American League West Conference.

"Lu Ke vs Wilson".

"Lu Ke vs Sherman".

"Offensive vs Defence".

This group of duels doesn't need much embellishment or explanation at all, and you can look forward to a wonderful game just by making up for it. Mortal enemies, mortal enemies, mortal enemies, mortal enemies who never die, you can now hear the overwhelming cries of the mountains and seas, which makes people's blood boil.

The National League final, although it was not "Seattle Seahawks vs Carolina Panthers", but the current matchup is even more exciting, and I can't help but start trembling with excitement.

"Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers", coming soon!

In the second divisional match, the Denver Broncos, the top seed in the American League, faced the San Diego Chargers, the sixth seed in the American League.

Before the game, the industry generally believed that this was the most obvious game with the difference in strength, and the San Diego Lightning stepped on the bottom line at the last moment to enter the playoffs and narrowly missed, facing the Denver Broncos with the best record of the season, it is estimated that it is difficult to pose too much threat, but this American League West Division civil war is far more exciting than imagined

Just like the battle in the Western Region of the National League, these two small divisions in the Western Region have ushered in a season of full explosion of the small universe this year, not only in the regular season, but also in the playoffs.

The Denver Broncos, who are unique in the offensive group this season, have shown super firepower on the offensive end, ranking first in the league, and they are far ahead.

The most direct proof is that the Denver Broncos have scored less than 30 points in only three of the sixteen games in the regular season this season, and their strong offensive power can be called sweeping and unbeatable, so the offensive group can also be called the best alternate in history, enough to rank among the top in history, and the destructive power and crushing pressure are enough to make people fearful.

The three games with a score of less than 30 points were against the San Diego Lightning in Week 10 of the regular season, Kansas Emirates in Week 11 of the regular season, and San Diego Lightning in Week 15 of the regular season.

Notice an anomaly?

Three games in which the score could not exceed 30 points, two of which were against the San Diego Chargers, and the results of the two games were still one win and one loss, respectively won "20-28" away and lost "20-27" at home, and the direct data shows that the San Diego Lightning defense team is not afraid of the offensive group led by Payton Manning at all, and they are the only defensive group in the league that can confidently face the Denver Broncos.

Divisional civil wars can never be underestimated! In the end, the excitement of the game process also amazed countless audiences.
