What Can We Learn From Sunday's Playoff Games?

Here we go!  One step away from the Super Bowl!  First, who is this Packer Fan rooting for???

Chiefs.  Why?

Andy Reid. He has been close!  He has helped two NFL teams build good teams!  He has an eye for talent - letting go of Alex Smith, and going with a young Patrick Mahomes.  His offenses are enjoyable to watch & creative.

Chief Players to watch:
TE- Kelce
WR - Hill
QB -Mahomes
OLB - Dee Ford (a free agent!)
S - Berry
DE - Jones

Saints. Why?

Drew Brees.  A quarterback  looking for a second Super Bowl! (Sound familiar?) A team, a lot like the Packers, GOOD times & BAD times!  A head coach, Payton, suffering some bad times, now the good time!

Saints Players to watch:
RB - Kamara
WR - Thomas
QB - Brees
DE - Jordan
LB - Davis
S - Williams

The last ten NFC games?
2018 - Eagles 38 - Vikings 7 (Home Team - Eagles)
2017 - Falcons 44 - Packers 21 (Home Team - Falcons)
