The NFL regular season has come to an end with some big divisional matchups in Week 18. There were upsets, blowouts, and
 tight games. First, the Denver Broncos had a surprising win over the Kansas City Chiefs with a final score 38-0. Going into the game, the Chiefs, with a 15-1 record, felt overly confident and played their backup players. This served as a rude awakening for the Chiefs, showing to some fans that they are not a Super Bowl team. 
On the other hand, the Giants had a clear path to the number one pick in the draft, but won in Week 17. They put up 45 points, had two interceptions, and had no turnovers. Drew Lock played like a machine, throwing for 300+ yards, four touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, and to top it off, he threw no interceptions. In Week 18, the Giants played like usual. Drew Lock threw for 138 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Giants landed the number three pick in the draft. But on the bright side, Malik Nabers made the Pro Bowl in his first season!
The Packers game unfortunately resulted in injuries to some key players. Jordan Love got injured when they were down 14-3 in the first quarter. Then Christian Watson tore his ACL (picture below). Jordan Love had an elbow injury, so their backup came into the game, who unfortunately got hurt. Despite all these injuries, the Packers only lost by 2 points to the Bears.
The NFL Playoffs are right now. The Divisional Round is heated. There’s the Ravens vs. Bills. That game was previously played in week 4 where the Ravens killed the Bills 35-10. The first play of the Ravens drive, King Henry ran 87 yards for the touchdown. This time the Ravens lost to the Bills 27 to 25. Mark Andrews dropped a pass on a two point conversion that would have tied the game. Derrick Henry and Mark Andrews both have one year left on their contract. Do you think Andrews will get re-signed?

The Commander’s win was just incredible. Beating the number one seed is a tough thing to do. This is the first time since 1991 that they made the NFC Championship. The game against the Eagles in the finals was a significant disappointment for the Commanders. The Eagles scored the most points in NFC and AFC championships (55). The final score was 55 – 23. That is still an impressive first season for Jaden Daniels. We believe he will become a Lamar Jackson. Maybe one of the best of all times!
The Bills vs. The Chiefs game was an incredible matchup. Mahomes dominated the playoffs at 3-0 vs. Josh Allen. Allen dominated the regular season 4-1. This was the game to decide it all. The Chiefs won 32-29. Bills’ Quarterback, Josh Allen, won MVP.
The Super Bowl is set. The game will feature the Chiefs vs. the Eagles. The Eagles are wearing their home jerseys and the Chiefs are wearing their away jerseys. The Super Bowl is a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl when the Chiefs won 38 to 35 by a go-ahead field goal.
The Super Bowl was just played in New Orleans, and the Eagles annihilated the Chiefs, 40-22. On the Eagles second drive, Jahan Dotson caught a 28-yard throw, setting up a successful Tush-Push for a 7-0 Eagles lead. In the 2nd quarter, the Eagles added a FG for a 10-0 lead. Then, the chiefs got the ball back and Patrick Mahomes threw a 38-yard pick-six to Cooper Dejean, giving Philadelphia a 17-0 lead. Then, Patrick Mahomes threw ANOTHER pick deep in their own territory to Zack Baun, setting up a A.J Brown receiving touchdown. The Eagles sprang to a 24-0 lead. Then, early in the 3rd quarter, the Eagles added another FG. 27-0. Then, Jalen Hurts dotted up Devonta Smith for a 46-yard TD on the first play of the drive. Xavier Worthey put the Chiefs on the board with a 24-yard receiving TD. The Chiefs would miss the two-point conversion, keeping the score at 34-6. Jake Elliot nailed two field goals extending the lead to 40-6. The Chiefs would score two touchdowns and made two two-point conversions. The final score was 40–22.
