By Asan - Class 713

With the Super bowl only four days away, let’s look back at what happened in this year’s playoffs.

Three weeks ago

Two NFC teams fought for the spot for the Super Bowl Championship game and hope to bring a win to the NFC’s side. The two final teams in the NFC this year were the Philadelphia Eagles and the Arizona Cardinals. One of them will win and go to the big game. There will be a team in the way of their championship dreams and that is either the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Baltimore Ravens which also are hungry for the championship.

With the NFC championship coming up The Eagles look to take the gold home by winning the super bowl championship. The Eagles is a team that deserved to be in the playoff after struggling to make it to the playoffs after finishing the regular season with nine wins and six losses.

Arizona Cardinals, a team you think would not get close to the playoffs, are now playing in the NFC championship game which if they win they will go to Tampa to fight for the Super Bowl championship. They finished their regular season nine and seven losses.

One week before the Super bowl

The cardinals defeated the eagles for the right to go to the Super bowl and the NFC championship. The Steelers defeated the Ravens to win the AFC championship and the right to meet the Cardinals in Super bowl.
