Nfl in the sign of Hamlin, tribute on the fields to the player who risked his life. And now the playoffs

He posted his smiling face despite the tubes he remains connected to in a hospital room. To hell and back, the Bills’ safety is steadily improving after his Monday Night cardiac arrest. The NFL heaves a huge sigh of relief and organizes a last round entirely dedicated to the player: jerseys, displays and banners under the #3 sign. But let’s go to the latest verdicts and what awaits us in the most exciting phase of the championship.

Rodgers’ defeat

The glorious Packers seemed to have made it again this time to recover a very bad game season. It was enough to defeat the Lions at home (already out of contention) who, it must be said, still played a great tournament this year. However, in the freezing cold of Green Bay, few would have bet on Detroit. And instead … In the lead for most of the game the Packers did harakiri with a sequence of horrors culminating in a bloody turnover and an interception by Aaron Rodgers not to mention the drops and penalties. The Lions play it boldly and courageously and win it. Everything goes in favor of Seattle which sees the witches against the modest Rams of this period but the check in overtime and will play the playoffs. The great quarterback now has to decide whether to continue or end it there, the dream of a second ring for one of the best quarterbacks of the last 10 years could fade away definitively.

Bills avalanche, with dedication to Hamlin

Buffalo returns to play after the Hamlin drama and drives away the nightmares with a victory of personalities over the Patriots who, once again, have to put their dreams of glory on hold. After Brady more bitterness than joy, it’s no coincidence… Two spectacular and irresistible touchdown returns by Hines should be mentioned. The 71 Pats guru, Belichick has made it known that he will also be there for next season. He looks for one last hurray.

Hurts convalescent but on the field and the Eagles win again

He’s still not okay. But after two consecutive knockouts it “should” be there. The stakes are too important: the NFC title and the bye for the next round. And, again, the advantage of always playing at home. So Hurts led the Eagles to a hard-fought victory with the Giants, better, against the reinforcements of New York that nothing had to ask for this match. The title in Philadelphia deserved but another tournament begins today and if Jalen and the team don’t recover their brilliance, strength and conviction, the playoffs could end soon.

JJ Watt, goodbye to the champion game

He has a bitter taste in San Francisco which, given the success of the Eagles, must play immediately (against the miraculous Seattle…). The clear success on the Cardinals is worth nothing. It was the last game of a great: JJ Watt. Which closed well: with a couple of sacks that young Purdy heard, and how. He leaves behind a player in love with football to whom he gave his all.

Away from Saturday’s playoffs, the NFC

The first match on Saturday, between San Francisco and Seattle, with the former clear favorites. Sunday the Vikings host the Giants and here too the underdogs go to the former. Tuesday a glamorous Tampa-Dallas that, for many, will be Tom Brady’s swan song, but he doesn’t agree too much.

The Afc

Sunday the Chargers will face the surprising Jaguars capable of a great season finale. Balanced match. Buffalo, on the other hand, should prevail over Miami without too many worries. As well as Cincinnati on Baltimore. But be careful, it’s the NFL, where anything can happen…
