Green Bay The last four teams in the fight for the Super Bowl have been determined: On Sunday evening, the last two teams secured their places in the play-off semi-finals.
Favorite Kansas City Chiefs has reached the NFL play-off semi-finals after a breathtaking chase. Despite a 0: 24 deficit, the team led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes won 51:31 against the Houston Texans in an entertaining game and will take it home in the round of four on January 19 (9:05 pm / ProSieben) Favorite fright to do Tennessee Titans.

The Titans knocked out Baltimore Ravens, the best team of the regular season, on Saturday. In the first play-off round, Tennessee had defeated the New England Patriots by star quarterback Tom Brady.

At Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, the Texans were initially on the move and took the lead 24-0. After that, the opposite picture emerged: Favored by some hair-raising mistakes by the guests, the Chiefs achieved three touchdowns in 3:24 minutes in the second quarter, came to 21:24 and took the lead with another touchdown for the first time before half-time. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid called the duel a “wild game” during the break.

On the night of Monday, the Green Bay Packers secured the last ticket for the semi-finals of the play-offs. Green Bay won 28:23 against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Packers led 21: 3 at halftime after two touchdown runs from running back Aaron Jones and a trapped touchdown from Davante Adams. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose offensive remained without losing a ball, made another touchdown pass to Adams in the second half.

Seattle was making a comeback – just like five years ago when the Packers lost the NFC Championship game to Seattle 22:28 after extra time after a 16-0 half-time lead. But this time they were able to decisively stop the Seahawks offensive by quarterback Russell Wilson shortly before the end. In the end, Seattle lost for the ninth time in a row in Green Bay and has been waiting for a win at Lambeau Field since 1999.
