Sunday NFL playoffs for determining the Super Bowl Team: NPR

Only four teams are hunting for the title of this year’s Super Bowl.

It is easy to choose who will take root for fans of these four teams, including Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Commander. But for everyone else, we are here to help.

There are all games that viewers want: Story Line, rivals, veteran, transcendental rookies, style and strategy collisions, and a crisis.

The two conference championship games begin on Sunday. Philadelphia hosts Washington in the eastern standard time at 3:00 pm, and then the Bills Chief will continue at Kansas City at 6:30 pm.

The reasons for changing each team are as follows.

One of the best (and the most favorable) stars of the game was fascinated by Philadelphia

For the first six years of his career, Saku On Barkley, a running back, struggled for the unfortunate New York Giants. The Giants reached the playoffs only once while they were in the team, and were not serious candidates. He sometimes struggled with injuries, including the tears of ACL after the 2020 season.

His contracts increased after last season, and the giant was skeptical about the value of signing new expensive transactions. Nevertheless, Barkley is a favorite of fans, a team’s favorite, and is worshiped in a locker room. And he wanted to return to New York.

But finally the Giants handed him. And in addition to pain, their debate has been documented about the HBO documentary hard knock generated by the NFL film. It must be difficult for the boy and the Giants fans to return to it.

“If Saku -on goes to Philadelphia, you’ll have a hard time sleeping. I’ll tell you it,” said team owner John Mala in one episode in a conversation with General General Manager. “He is the most popular player we have.”

Berklee has signed a contract with Philly and has not looked back. In Eagles, he is attractive. He may have been the ninth player in NFL history, defeated 2,000 rush yards, and played in the final match of Eagles’ regular season, may have broken the best record in history. (He sits to avoid the risk of injury before the playoffs.) And some of his plays will be NFL highlight reel for many years.

It’s hard to believe that this version was just a change in the scenery to remove Berklee. “If you don’t have a great team, that’s not a problem. You won’t succeed, and I think it’s a typical example right now,” he acknowledged on Wednesday. Now, we have won one victory from seeing one of the best players in the game on the biggest stage of the game.

Can Washington’s rookie quota back be the first person to lead his team to a super bowl?

Washington’s Commander’s turn around was nothing more than a miracle.

For decades, Washington was a controversy and scandal font when the team was led by former owner Daniel Snider. From the team name to the widespread sexual harassment between the team’s cheerleaders and other employees, the floods of bad news did not stop, from the federal government’s inquiry about the fiscal government. (When the pipe burst at the stadium in 2021 and discarded the dirty water during the game, the flood was literally literally.)

To boot, the team will stand. Washington lost nearly 60 % of the game between 1993 and 2023, and has won two play -off games in the last 30 years. Last season, this team became the worst 4-13 in NFL.

Now, they are 12-5, winning one victory from the Super Bowl. How did everything change fast?

The new owner, the new general manager, and the new head coaches have helped. However, the real difference manufacturer was Jaden Daniels, a new quarter of the team.

Before the 24 -year -old Daniels was selected in the second NFL draft last year, he had a lot of discussions and concerns about him. Is his narrow frame fragile for NFL defender? Was his best year in LSU only once, or could he maintain it?

In effect, all of these concerns have disappeared. Daniels is even better in the playoffs. When everything is said and completed, his season may be considered the best by a newcomer quarter back.

One of the last milestones is to solidify the heritage. It will be the first rookter back back that started in the Super Bowl.

The chiefs of Kansas City are looking at creating a history

In addition to NFL, there are 3 peats in almost all other major US sports in the United States.

Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls won twice in the 1990s in the NBA Finals three times, and a few years later, Koby Bringant and Los Angeles Rakeers did it again. Baseball has four three peats, and recently when New York Yankees won three world series from 1998 to 2000. In NHL, three different teams won the stun -lake cup in three consecutive seasons. College basketball, reservation (UCLA, seven titles).

However, 3 Pete proves that it is unbearable in professional soccer for all kinds of reasons. The keeper is injured. The coach is hunt. Every year, it is impossible to keep the list of 53 people as they are.

However, the Kansas City chief has won two wins from creating a history. The Chiefs, led by Quarter Back Patrick Mahomes, have focused on this goal throughout the season. They are not dominant for the past few years. By achieving a 15-2 record of this season, the magic that was very unlikely to play, self -destruction of the opponent, penalty of occasional timing, lucky, and probably darkened. Is still pretty good.

At the age of 29, Mahomes resumes have more breaking points than most other quarterbacks in the history of NFL. There may be 10 years left, including three superbowl ring, two MVP awards, three ALL-PRO nods, and six professional bowls. play. “I like winning. If you win a lot, if you become a villain, that’s fine,” Mahomes preceded the Super Bowl last year.

If you look and give you an ICK by supporting Goliath, I get it. However, thanks to the peak of their power, the highest greatness in history, I can’t get the opportunity to see the history every year. And some people like to support the bad guys.

One of the most lucky franchises in NFL is the first ring?

Forget to acquire three super bowl continuously. How about losing four?

It doesn’t like the team to be famous, but there is not much option for Buffalo’s bill. From 1990 to 1993, Buffalo was one of the best teams in the league, consistently on AFC’s ranking and playoffs. Every year, they wiped out the path to the Super Bowl -and every year they lost.

Later, the bill quietly retreated from the playoff struggle and spent many years in the wilderness of the soccer in a 10 different head coach and 20 starting quarterbacks.

Then Josh Allen came. For the past five seasons, the first round of the draft pick in 2018 has brought a new life into a fan base that breaks this franchise and its enthusiastic table. The bill has won this division every year since 2020, and looks like a serious candidate in most ways.

Now, Allen is playing the best soccer in his career. He recorded his career low with intercept (6) and sack (14) during the regular season. With the resurrected running game of Bills, Allen was able to play safer and deliberate soccer this year, rather than relying on Heroik this year.

Despite all of these, they are mainly protected from super bowls by one team: Kansas City Chiefs.

Bills’ play -offs have ended with Chiefs for three years out of the past four years. Almost all of their post -season were thrillers, but the Road matchups in the 2021 AFC category were changed four times in the last two minutes of regulations.

This bill consistently defeated the regular season chiefs, including 30 to 21 scores this November. But the chief runs three times. 。
