Playoff Pandemonium

It’s that time of the year again when people are screaming at their TV for their favorite football team as the NFL playoffs are here. The race to the Super Bowl begins with 12 teams competing for the Lombardi Trophy but after the past two weekend it now stands at four teams remaining with the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles being eliminated.

This weekend will be the NFC and AFC Conference Championships, which will ultimately decide who goes to the Super Bowl, the biggest game of them all. The final four teams that will fight for a place in the Super Bowl are the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams.

Both games are set for Sunday. The NFC championship between the Rams and the Saints is scheduled for 2:05 p.m. on Fox and the AFC game follows at 5:40 p.m. on CBS between the Patriots and Chiefs.

The NFL playoffs are quite the entertainment as it becomes almost like a story or a tale of the teams and players. So many people watch such as social studies teacher Mr. D’Antonio.

“I love the playoffs, especially wild card weekend and the divisional rounds. How great is it to have six hours of football on both Saturday and Sunday? Additionally, everyone lays it all on the line in the playoffs because it is win or go home. The playoffs are where legends are made. Take Nick Foles for example. He is an average QB but for whatever reason, when he is playing in the playoffs he has been phenomenal.”

So needless to say people enjoy watching the playoffs and the stories that they tell.
