The San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens are just one more win away from reaching the Super Bowl in the NFL playoffs. In pouring rain on the US West Coast, the 49ers won the National Football Conference (NFL) at home once morest the Green Bay Packers 24:21 on Saturday (local time). The Ravens previously had much less trouble beating the Houston Texans 34:10 and are in the final of the American Football Conference (AFC).
There it is once morest the winner of Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. Lamar Jackson was directly involved in all four touchdowns for his team – twice he threw the ball into the end zone, twice he carried the football there himself. NBA superstar LeBron James wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Man, I love Lamar Jackson.”
The 49ers will face the Detroit Lions or the Tampa Bay Buccanneers next weekend. Against the Packers, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy played below his level, but led the best NFC team in the main round to the winning touchdown 67 seconds before the end by Christian McCaffrey. Jordan Love, the Packers’ playmaker, had his part in the entertainment value of the game with three touchdowns within five minutes in the third quarter, but in the end he threw one bad pass too many and deprived his team of any chance of victory.
The Lions go into their home game once morest the Buccaneers on Sunday evening as favorites. The team, notoriously unsuccessful for decades, has never been in a Super Bowl. For the Chiefs, it is the first away playoff game with Patrick Mahomes as quarterback. The previous two playoff games once morest the Bills in Kansas City were both dramatic comparisons with the better ending for Kansas City. The Super Bowl takes place on February 11th in Las Vegas.
