Hello readers! Another week of National Football League action has come and gone. The best weekend in the NFL slate is over and the eight teams that started this weekend is now down to the Final Four, NFL style. Only the Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers remain after this weekend. We'll recap the four games in this post, let's get to work!
Divisional Recap
LA Rams 18, Green Bay 32: TW: Packers; CV: Rams
There were at least 9,000 fans in Lambeau Field but it certainly felt there was at least 90,000 in it. Jared Goff would start again as John Wolford was still out with a neck injury. Goff played well enough despite all the injuries that were inflicted on him. He threw for 174 yards with a touchdown pass. You could question his ability but you can't question his heart. Cam Akers was good in this game as he rushed for 90 yards on 18 carries. Aaron Rodgers proved to be dominant in this game as he threw for 296 yards with two touchdown passes. Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams were masterful in the ground attack as both rushed for 99 and 65 yards respectively. Jones rushed for a touchdown. For the Rams, it was an end to a remarkable season that you could certainly build upon. The core is still there for a run but health is a question for this team going into the offseason. Green Bay lives to fight another day.

LA Rams: idk go star in a Hollywood movie or something

Baltimore 3, Buffalo 17: TW: Ravens; CV: Bills
Well this turned into a bruiser than a shootout. Lamar Jackson threw for 162 yards in the game with an interception. He would leave the game with an injury that would send Tyler Huntley into the fray. He finished the game with 60 yards. Baltimore's running game was modest as JK Dobbins rushed for 42 yards, Gus Edwards rushed for 42 yards, and Lamar Jackson rushed for 34 yards. Josh Allen threw for 206 yards with a touchdown pass. Devin Singletary rushed for 25 yards in the game. The star of the show was cornerback Taron Johnson who intercepted a Lamar Jackson pass in the redzone that went for a 101-yard touchdown. It was a game-changing play. For the Ravens, it ends a hopeful season that Ravens had hoped meant them hoisting a Lombardi trophy. Lamar Jackson has the playoff win but now comes his biggest challenge, reaching a Super Bowl. Buffalo fights on and goes to Kansas City.

Baltimore: put Lamar Jackson in a bubble

Cleveland 17, Kansas City 22: TW: Chiefs; CV: Chiefs
It looked bleak for the Browns but an injury to Mahomes and a near failed 4th down conversion almost made it a Cleveland-Buffalo AFC Championship game. Baker Mayfield threw for 204 yards with a touchdown pass but also threw an interception. Nick Chubb rushed for 69 yards and Kareem Hunt rushed for 32 yards with a touchdown run. Patrick Mahomes started for the Chiefs and threw for 255 yards with a touchdown pass. He would leave the game in the 3rd quarter due to a possible concussion or nerve injury. Chad Henne would come into his stead and throw for 66 yards with an interception in the game. He would also run for a near first down and then throw on an agressive 4th down and inches pass play that sealed the deal for the Chiefs. Cleveland shouldn't need to hang their heads on low after this season. This Browns team is not the "Same Old Browns" that I grew up. Next season will tell how well they can build off what they learn. That no-call on the helmet-to-helmet hit towards the end of the 1st half though.
Next week:
Cleveland: live at FirstEnergy Stadium like Baker Mayfield
Kansas City: vs Buffalo
Tampa Bay 30, New Orleans 20: TW: Buccaneers; CV: Buccaneers
Third time's the charm. Tom Brady threw for 199 yards with two touchdowns in the game. He also showcased his running ability as he rushed for a touchdown as well. Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones rushed for 63 and 62 yards respectively. Drew Brees started for the Saints and had 134 yards passing with a touchdown but also threw three interceptions in the game. He would leave the game to let backup Jameis Winston play in the game. Winston threw a pass for a 56-yard touchdown. Alvin Kamara was good in the game as he rushed for 85 yards in the game. A lot of questions surround the Saints after another season not reaching a Super Bowl. Will Drew Brees retire? Time will tell. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers move on to play in their first NFC Championship game since 2002.
Next week:
Tampa Bay: @ Green Bay
New Orleans: idk eat gumbo or something.
