For the second year in a row, both the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will participate in the NFC and AFC championship games respectively. These teams were predicted by many to be here when the season began, and now they indeed sit with just one game between them and Glendale. Tom Brady will take on Andrew Luck and the Colts for the second consecutive year. Last year the team dominated Indianapolis in the divisional round and now look to end Andrew Luck's playoff run. He has now reached the championship game and is one step closer to reaching the ultimate goal of a Super Bowl. This run will likely end next week in Foxborough. Although the team looked good against the Broncos, the Patriots are a different animal and will give the Colts much more problems defensively.
Seattle will host the NFC championship and take on a slightly hobbled Aaron Rodgers. The key matchup will be Rodgers against the great defense of Seattle. If Rodgers can make some big plays and does not receive too much pressure, the Seahawks could be in trouble. Can't wait for an exciting Sunday next week.
