The NFL Playoffs started on Saturday, January 3, with the Arizona Cardinals vs. the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers won 27 – 16 to move on to play Seattle, and the Seahawks won by 31-17. Baltimore played the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh and the Ravens won by 30-17 to play the New England Patriots, who won 35-31 in that playoff game. The Colts played Cincinnati with the Colts winning by 26-17. The Lions play Cowboys and Cowboys won 24-20. Carolina played Seattle and Seattle won 31-17 on Saturday to move on. The Cowboys played Green Bay and won 26-21, to then play the Seahawks with Seattle winning 28-22. Denver vs. Colts had the Colts win 24-13 to play Patriots, with the Patriots winning 45-7.

There has been some controversy over “deflategate,” where 11 out of 12 of the New England footballs were underinflated. The Colts said the footballs were underinflated in the game, the refs agreed and the NFL is investigating it.

The Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, February 1 at 6:40 p.m.
