Coming into the 2013-2014 NFL season, many people expected that at least some version of the last four teams standing would be the Broncos, Seahawks, Patriots and 49ers. Most years, it doesn’t happen where the projected final four actually make it due to a magical run from a dark horse or incredible unforeseen season. But this year it has happened and for the NFL that is a very good thing.
AFC Championship
Manning vs Brady. The two future hall of fame quarterbacks know what it takes to make and win a Super Bowl. Through the course of their careers, they have built a unique rivalry. No sane person wouldn’t want to see a Manning vs Brady AFC championship game. Both quarterbacks are on their last legs as title contenders so who knows when we might see this again. History has favored Brady over the years but most of those games were played in the harsh conditions of Foxborough, Massachusetts. The tables have turned this season and this game will be played in Manning’s house, in Denver.For Brady and the Patriots a win could mean an incredible feat of reaching the Super Bowl for a sixth time despite all the injuries and poor play from Brady throughout the season. For Manning, this game could make or break his legacy based off his previous playoff struggles.
NFC Championship
On the NFC side of things, the championship showcases two of the most exciting and best young quarterbacks in the NFL. Colin Kaepernick has already made it to the Super Bowl in his short career and Russell Wilson is looking to add to his impressive resume. Over the last few seasons, Seattle vs. San Francisco has become arguably the most heated rivalry in the NFL so it is only fitting that they meet for the NFC crown. Kaepernick and the 49ers have had their recent struggles playing in Seattle so it will be interesting to see how they respond in the NFC Title game.
No matter which two teams win this weekend, Super Bowl XLVIII will be a battle of new vs old. Either way the NFL and its fans will benefit from the matchup.
Who do you think will be in the Super Bowl?
