Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams
The Rams cardinals and division rivals met again in the wild card tournament, winning one each in the regular season, which would be the third time the two teams have met this season. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford passed 41 touchdowns this season on a scale of 102.9, winning all nine games he scored over 100; but he played unevenly, sending the league's most 17 interceptions this season. Stafford has been in the league for 13 years, and this is only his second playoff game, and he will fight hard to win his first playoff win.
And his side Coop Karp will be an important factor in determining the game, the star receiver has exploded this season, receiving 145 catches and 1947 yards and 16 touchdowns, all three of which are at the top of the league table. The Cardinals will let cornerback Byron Murphy defend Karp, a pairing that fans are looking forward to. Marcus Gordon and Chandler Jones will also put pressure on Stafford, who have scored 11 and 10.5 tackles this season.
The Cardinals' offense is similar to that of the Rams, which is also dominated by passing. Quarterback Murray's play will determine the fate of the team, and interestingly, the Cardinals have not lost in the 8 games he has scored over 100. Although the team's number one receiver, Hopkins, still can't play due to injury, the team has enough offensive firepower. Near-end striker Zach Oetz, outside receivers AJ Green and Christian Kirk are all trusted catch targets.
The Rams' defensive second-tier, led by Jaylen Ramsey, has been consistent throughout the season, ranking fifth in the league with a pass score of 83.8. Donald and von Miller's defensive gates will also put enough pressure on Murray, with the Cardinals hitting the Seahawks' on-line offense last week with five tackles and they need to better protect their quarterbacks. The outcome of this game will greatly depend on the performance of the quarterback, and throughout the season, both quarterbacks are unstable, who do you think will lead the team to win?

Philadelphia Hawks @ Tampa Bay Pirates
The first game of this year's Pirac playoffs is at home against the Hawks. Brady's play this season has been as steady as ever, and the number of passing yards this season is a career high! In the final game of the regular season, Brady passed 326 yards and 3 touchdowns, and the quarterback score was as high as 130.3, and his form was hot without the help of the Pirates receiver group.
The team's top receiver, Mike Evans, has another season of receiving thousand yards and taking 14 touchdowns, and his matchup with Hawks cornerback Darius Slay will be the focus of the game. Brady's old guy Big Groon is also in good shape, averaging more than 115 yards per game in the last two games, and it is believed that he will continue to produce steadily in the playoffs. The Hawks' defense of passes is not excellent, ranking 23rd in the league with a rating of only 95.4, and the completion rate of defensive opponents' passes is tied for the worst in the league. Not only is the defensive pass performance poor, but the defensive team's rushing passing efficiency is also not high, ranking 31st with only 29 tackles this season, and the pressure rate against quarterbacks ranks 22nd. While the Pirates' offensive line has only released 23 tackles this season, the fewest in the league, Brady should be able to pass the ball comfortably in his pocket this game.
In contrast to the Eagles' offense, running ball is the team's advantage, and running backs including Jordan Howard, Miles Sanders and Boston Scott have played well. The team finished fourth with an average of 4.9 yards per run, and averaged 159.7 yards per game.
Quarterback Jaylen Hertz can also run the ball, averaging 52.3 yards per game and 10 running touchdowns this season. In contrast, his passing firepower is slightly worse. 16 touchdowns were passed during the season and nine interceptions were delivered, averaging 209.6 yards per game. The team's number one receiver is De Fontaine Smith, who has received 64 balls in the season and won five touchdowns. If the Hawks want to beat the Pirates on the road, this passing line needs to contribute.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Kansas City Chiefs
At 9:15 a.m. Monday morning, the final game of the American League Wild Card Tournament will be played between the Chiefs and the Steelers, who lost to the Tigers and lost to the Tigers, who entered the playoffs with a deadly whistle from Raiders kicker Carson.
The two sides met once in week 16, with the Chiefs winning 36:10. Kelsey missed Hill in that game, but Mahomes still managed to cut down 258 yards and three touchdowns in his hand, leading the team to a 23-0 lead at halftime, but they lost to the Tigers in the next game and lost the first place in the American League. On the contrary, the Steelers have won successive victories over their opponents in the same area after this game, perhaps because the news of Daben's imminent retirement has made the whole team more united, and the appearance of this Steelers is now different from before.
The key opponents in this game were Chiefs quarterback Mahomes and Steelers rusher TJ Watt, Margo Jr. still has a total of 4839 yards and 37 touchdown quarterback ratings this season, and TJ Watt, as the most favorable competitor in DPOY at present, has a total of 22.5 tackles in the regular season, which also allows him to equal the league's single-season tackle record, in addition to creating 39 quarterback impacts, not only Watt, steelers' other defensive bigman Cameron Hayward can not be ignored, he has won a total of 10 tackles and 89 tackles this season, facing the Steelers' "double ghost shots" ", the pressure on The little Margo will not be small, but fortunately he has a lot of helpers on the offensive end. The Chiefs' most important receiving weapons on the offensive end this season are still Hill and Kelsey, Hill has won a total of 9 touchdowns of 1239 yards this season, and Kelsey has 9 touchdowns of 1125 yards, as long as they can play steadily, no matter how strong the defense is, it is difficult to completely limit the Chiefs' attack.
Despite excellent front-line pressure, it's important to note that the Steelers' defensive run is at the bottom of the league, which could be a breakthrough point for the Chiefs' offense, and the bad news for the Chiefs is that the team's running back Clyde Ed Wadsil is definitely absent, depending on how Coach Reid deploys his troops.
While it may be the group of duels with the biggest difference in strength, it didn't affect the mentality of the Steelers, as Omoto himself put it: "Since there is no chance, let's have fun!" ”
Xiaobian Chicken Rice: 7-28 Xiaobian Mop: 13-28
Kirby: 10-31 Master Ma: 10-28
