Pony: Hard work for half a year, one night back to the pre-liberation!
San Francisco 49ers 27: 24 Los Angeles Rams
This round is a very high-profile civil war in the West, with the San Francisco 49ers visiting Los Angeles to challenge the Rams. The 49ers are fighting for their playoff qualifications, while the Rams are fighting for the playoff rankings, while the Rams' star receiver, Cooper Karp, is also fighting to break the single-season record for number of yards.
The first to take the initiative after the opening was the home team, the Rams. Their first three waves of attacks all ended in scoring, with the kicker taking the lead in completing one shot, followed by quarterback Stafford connecting two consecutive close-enders in the end zone, Taylor Higgby, to complete two passes. At this time, the 49ers' offense failed to play the situation. After two consecutive abandonments, quarterback Gallo Polo was also intercepted by Rams safety guard Chi Youjun in the final half, and could only rely on the shot before the end of half to regain face. In the first half, the Rams entered the dressing room with a 17-3 lead.
After the start of the second half, the 49ers went into counter-attack mode, and the two waves of attacks that came up completed the touchdown, this time with the star receiver Dipo Samuel. Samuel first relied on his legs to complete a dashing touchdown, then used a fraudulent offensive pass to connect with teammates to take over from His teammates to equalize the score before the end of the third quarter. The next two teams of defenders stepped forward, and after each completed a interception, the Rams took the lead. Karp completed the touchdown and regained the lead with 2:29 left in the game. But the 49ers didn't disarm so easily, and Jennings entered the end zone after finishing the catch with 26 seconds left in the game, dragging the game into overtime.
After entering overtime, the 49ers, who guessed the right coin, took the lead and completed a free-kick shot, while Stafford tried to find OBJ's far-reaching pass but was intercepted by the 49ers' rookie cornerback Amber Tomas, and the 49ers won the game. The winning 49ers received the league's last playoff ticket, officially becoming the No. 6 seed in the League and will challenge the Cowboys away in the first round of the playoffs. The Rams slipped to the No. 4 seed in the National League after the defeat and will face the Cardinals at home in the first round of the playoffs.
Pittsburgh Steelman 16: 13 Baltimore Crows
As Big Ben's last steel crow battle, the two sides still contributed a very wonderful game. The match was not won until the last two minutes of extra time. With the Colts losing to the Jaguars in another game at the same time, both teams have hope of making the playoffs before the game, and with the Steelers ultimately winning and lightning losing to the Raiders, Big Ben's career doesn't look like it's over yet.
Ravens quarterback Huntley performed average, hitting only 16 of the game's 31 passes to win 141 yards and 2 interceptions, including the fourth quarter of the red zone interception that deprived the Ravens of the opportunity to extend the score, and the team's running back Murray played well, he scored 150 yards in 16 rushes to support the Ravens' road attack. The Steelers played steadily, he got 244 yards and 1 touchdown in 30 of 44 passes, including the fourth quarter and multiple triple transitions in overtime, TJ Watt got a tackle, so he equaled the league season record and created an important ball transfer.
Both sides played harder in the first half, with neither side making a touchdown, with Both Ben and Huntley sending a cut in the first quarter. After returning from the second half, the Ravens' road attack suddenly woke up, Murray's 50-yard rush directly into the Steelers' touchdown, the Steelers' subsequent attack ended with a free kick, and Murray, who appeared again, was still full of firepower, he ran out of the large yards of advance and rushed into the Steelers red zone, but it was a pity that Huntley's pass at the beginning of the fourth quarter was intercepted by Sutton, and the Ravens' wave of attack was not harvested. The Steelers finally played a continuity in the final wave of attack, and Big Ben found Klip to complete the touchdown with three minutes left in the game, but the Ravens equalized with Tucker on the horse and had 1 minute left, they had hoped to kill the opponent in regular time, but Brown's key catch failed to control the pace and staggered out of bounds, and the two sides could only enter overtime.
The Ravens attacked first in overtime, but they quickly returned the ball to the Steelers, and Big Ben did not give his opponent another chance this time, he completed the three-stop conversion several times and found McLeod in a very important 4-stop 8 yard, and with Boswell's final free-kick hit, the Steelers finally won the away game against the Ravens in a double-kill opponent and advanced into the playoffs.
Jacksonville Jaguar 26: 11 Indianapolis Ponies
Probably all fans will think when they see the Jaguars defeating the Ponies, what happened?! The Colts were in good shape overall in a few games at the end of the season, and they could enter the playoffs with a 2-14 victory over the Jaguars, but they lost the game in a cold way and were excluded from the playoffs.
After the opening, the Jaguars played more like the teams that had been competing for a playoff spot. Before they advanced into the Pony End zone with a long-range attack that took seven minutes, rookie quarterback Lawrence hit all eight passes on the offensive wave, and the outside receiver Laquin Tredville received the pass to give the team the lead. The Colts offensive group was a bit slow and hot, and didn't get points with a single shot until the middle of the second quarter. The Jaguars kept in shape, kept advancing, and after two more shots on goal, led 13-3 to end the first half.
The Colts still haven't found their form of play since the start of the second half, and quarterback Carson Wintz's performance is difficult to satisfy fans. He first dropped the ball in his own half, allowing the Jaguars to easily get the shot; the first attack on the game again sent a copy directly, the Jaguars laughed and accepted the gift, and the receiver Marvin Jones got the received touchdown to extend the score to 23-3! Faced with a huge score gap, the Ponies played more and more urgently, and two consecutive waves of offensive four-gear strong hits could not be completed. The Jaguars took advantage of the chase and shot again with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Although the Mas got the touchdown later, the winner was decided, and the Jaguars won their third victory of the season at home!
The Jaguars have been a failure overall in one season, but a win in the final game of the season may give fans more hope for next season. For the Ponies, it's a pity that the season ended in such a way, and the wonderful performance of MVP candidate Jonathan Taylor was also put to good use.
