How Green Bay Reached the NFC Championship

  • Regular Season Record: 13-3
  • Wild Card Round: Bye
  • Divisional Round: Beat Rams, 32-18

There wasn’t a lot of hype around the Packers heading into the season. At 37 years old, how much was left in the tank for Aaron Rodgers? And why was the team trading up into the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft to select a quarterback? The answers are apparently "a lot" and "good question."

Rodgers responded with an MVP-caliber season — he’s the betting favorite to win the award — and the Packers have the look of a Super Bowl team. — Tommy Stokke

How Tampa Bay Reached the NFC Championship

  • Regular Season Record: 11-5
  • Wild Card Round: Beat Washington, 31-23
  • Divisional Round: Beat the Saints, 30-20

In case you missed it, Tom Brady is on the Bucs. He brought Rob Gronkowski and, eventually, Antonio Brown with him.

And with Brady comes postseason play.

The experiment with Brady has mostly worked, although there have been enough iffy moments for Monday-morning talk shows to propose a loser-leaves-town cage match between Brady and head coach Bruce Arians.

Still, Tampa Bay throws the ball more often than all but two teams in the NFL, so a playoff run rests on Brady’s right arm. If the Bucs’ defense can stay stingy — it ranks seventh in points allowed — the 43-year-old’s job gets a little easier. — Stokke
