Dear friends of ESPN, closer and closer is the end of the regular season, and it’s time to review which teams have already gotten their ticket to the postseason and which others have ended up losing hope of being able to play playoffs.
In the first place, and the most relevant in the Week 14, was the change of the first position of the Conference National with the combination of results from this Sunday.
The New Orleans Saints they lost to Philadelphia Eagles in what was, in fact, the quarterback’s first loss Taysom Hill as alternate for Drew Brees.
The fall implies that New Orleans momentarily loses first place in the conference, as the Green Bay Packers they achieved victory against their divisional rivals, Detroit Lions.
Today Green Bay and New Orleans have the same record of 10-3, but the Packers take the driver’s seat in this Week 14 thanks to the victory over the Saints from Week 3.
As if that were not enough, with three days still to go into the regular season, the Packers They already won their division.
Another novelty in National It was the defeat of the Minnesota Vikings before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of Tom Brady, and this implies that with the stumbling that the Vikes, come out of the wild card position and open the door to Arizona Cardinals, who subdued the New York Giants.
Arizona is in the wild card position and Minnesota is out.
He Washington Football Team arrived at Week 14 disputing the East Division from National with the Giants, but with the stumble of New York and the victory of the team from the capital of the United States, which won its match against the San Francisco 49ers, took control of that division.
The Atlanta Falcons were officially eliminated from playoff competition after falling to the Carolina Panthers.
In the American Conference, there was a change in the first position.
The Kansas City Chiefs, even though his quarterback Patrick mahomes suffered three interceptions, achieved a victory against the Miami Dolphins, and that triumph combined with the second consecutive defeat of the Pittsburgh Steelers –now before the Buffalo Bills– leaves the current monarchs of the Super Bowl in position No. 1 in planting the Conference.
Pittsburgh they do not lose the first place in their division, and of course they are serious contenders for the playoffs.
The leader in East Division is Buffalo. And it is about to tie the title in that sector. The Bills achieved a valuable victory against the Steelers with a great display, and they are approaching their first divisional title since 1995.
Careful with Buffalo in the postseason.
This Monday, the Week 14 with mourning of the North Division, between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.
Cleveland occupies a wild card place, and his permanence is played against Ravens who are looking for that place.
The Browns They are one of the revelations of this season.
In the South Division both the Tennessee Titans Like the Indianapolis Colts they won their respective matches, so they keep their positions.
They have the same record but the tiebreaker criterion favors the Titans.
Miami and their defense offered above all to the defense, a great game intercepting up to three times to MahomesHowever, they fell. However, their defeat does not lower them from seventh in the qualifying order.
The Dolphins are seconds of your division.
Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans thus join the New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars and Cincinnati Bengals like teams eliminated mathematically.
There are only three weeks left and the room for maneuver is shortened. Winning is the only option for the contestants.
A defeat at this point leaves them in a fragile position.
