It's been four years, but the Green Bay Packers once again are one win away from playing in the Super Bowl.

Behind some late-game heroics from Aaron Rodgers to ice it, the No. 2 seed Packers edged a game fifth-seeded Seahawks squad at home, 28-23, to earn their first NFC Championship appearance since 2016.

Next up for the Packers will be a huge showdown against the top-seeded 49ers at Levi's Stadium with the NFC championship and a spot in Super Bowl LIV on the line (Jan. 19, 6:40 p.m. ET on FOX).

They were underdogs against the Patriots (#1 offense) and the Ravens (#1 defense). The Titans beat the Chiefs just a couple of months ago. They can do it again. It would be foolish to count them out.

In the last week of the season, the Titans had to beat the Division Champion Texans, just to make the playoffs.

Then they had to beat the Division Champion Patriots, and the Division Champion Ravens.

So if they beat the Division Champion Chiefs next week, they would be the first team in history to win four games in a row against Division Champions.

Don’t count out the Chiefs. Texas beat them earlier this year and look what the Chiefs did to them today.

It’s been nice not having to hear Brady Brady Patriots Patriots blah blah Patriots, and seeing scrappy underdogs win games they just can’t win according to the experts. The games this weekend were fun to watch.

Bloomberg much have spent a fortune advetising in these games. I was getting the same commercial played near 3 times in a row.

Titans look good, too. A smash mouth running game and defense is always a good recipe for the super bowl.

My neighbors in back are big Pats fans. They have installed a TV on their back patio and have watch parties in their back yard. They’ve been quiet the last few weeks this year. I wonder why? Ha ha.

All the SB participants for the past six SBs have been eliminated...so we have a fresh set of teams to watch. It is enjoyable, and I say this as an Eagles fan (who is super happy Clowney got eliminated).

SF a lock against the Pack. KC will be tested against the Titans whose defense and ball control offense will pose plenty of problems for the best QB in football. Rooting for Andy Reid to get his first Super Bowl title.

Good. The Seacocks advanced on a dirty win over Da Iggles, so karma paid them a much-deserved visit.

Wouldn’t it be great if they went to the Super Bowl and won that, too?

Robot Chicken's Ode to the Nut Shot comes to mind.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
