Just 4 teams remain in pursuit of the Lombardi Trophy, and there are just 3 games left for us fans (4 including the Pro Bowl, if you\u2019re into that sort of thing). <\/p>\nAnd then there were 4.

The NFC and AFC Championships go down Sunday<\/a> for a trip to Atlanta. <\/p>\n Lets take a look at some news from around the league and an injury report for the 4 semifinalists.<\/p>\n The much maligned Chiefs defense came to play and shut down Andrew Luck<\/strong> and the Colts offense in the freezing temperatures for a dominant 31-13 win. RB Damien Williams<\/strong> carried the load offensively for the Chiefs (30 touches\/154 yds\/1 TD<\/em>) as Pat Mahomes, Darrel Williams and Tyreek Hill<\/strong> found the endzone on the ground as well.<\/p>\n The Patriots jumped on the Chargers early, outscoring them 35-7<\/em> in the first half and coasting to a 41-28 win<\/a>. Sony Michel<\/strong> lead the Patriots ground attack with 129 yards and 3 touchdowns<\/em> as Tom Brad<\/strong>y nickel and dimed the Chargers soft zone defense to the tune of 343 yards and a TD<\/em>.<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Rams put much of their criticisms to rest, dominating both line of scrimmages as C.J. Anderson<\/strong> and Todd Gurley<\/strong> (39 carries, 238 yards, 3 TDs combined<\/em>) ran roughshod behind a dominant offensive line performance and their defensive front shut down the Cowboys dynamic run game, holding them to just 22 carries for 50 yards and 2 TDs<\/em> (2.3 YPC). The Cowboys made a late push, but ultimately fell 30-22<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n The Eagles jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead after intercepting Drew Brees<\/strong> on the first play of the game, and appeared to be in complete control until a Nick Foles<\/strong> interception part way through the 2nd quarter and a dominant 18 play, 92 yard drive that ate up almost 12 minutes to open the 3rd quarter. The Saints missed a field goal to ice the game with around 3 minutes to go, and the Eagles appeared ready to continue their postseason magic until a rare Alshon Jeffery<\/strong> led to a game ending interception to give the Saints a 20-14 win.<\/p>\n The Cowboys and Chargers coaching staffs have been announced as the coaches for the 2019 Pro Bowl in Orlando, FL. Both teams were bounced from the playoffs this past weekend in the Divisional Round, but this announcement serves as an interesting consolation prize.<\/p>\n Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray<\/strong> has had a huge year. He was drafted in the first round of the MLB Draft by the Oakland A\u2019s, and it looked like his future would be in center field for the A\u2019s. However, Murray stated his love of football, and wanted the A\u2019s to allow him to compete for the starting QB position at Oklahoma. <\/p>\n After Murray won the starting job, he went on a tear, throwing for 4,361 yards, 42 TDs, and 7 INTs<\/em> as well as rushing for 1001 yards and another 12 TDs<\/em> on his way to winning the Heisman Trophy. After much delay and deliberation, Murray has officially entered his name into the NFL Draft on the final possible day, and there is a real possibility he is the first quarterback off the board come April.<\/p>\n ESPN<\/strong><\/p>\nDivisional Round Storylines<\/h2>\n
