Ranking All 209 Postseason Games in the NFL Since 2000

February 10, 2019

We watch football for a reason and that’s to see greatness, excitement, and most importantly, memorable moments. These can be defined in so many ways. It’s the last-second game-winning touchdown drive, complete with the miraculous helmet catch. It’s the jaw-dropping goal-line interception in the final minute to win the Super Bowl. It’s a backup quarterback torching a dynasty in the Super Bowl, or a historic defense shutting down a historic…

Embed from Getty Images It’s fun to take a prediction at which teams will win each of the eight divisions and which teams represent their respective conference in the Super Bowl. But it’s even more fun to try to make individual player projections, especially those that are relatively obscure. This is my eighth year doing a bold predictions list, and I’ve had quite the array of horrendous misses. Remember…

The moment Tom Brady’s desperation Hail Mary bounced harmlessly off Eagles cornerback Patrick Robinson’s hands and hit the ground, the lives of an entire city of Eagles fans changed in a way that can never truly be measured by mere words. Finally. For the first time in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles’ long and torturous franchise, the team had finished a season as the last unit standing, Super Bowl…

Embed from Getty Images To say this 2017 Philadelphia Eagles team is a team of destiny is an understatement. A thrilling 41-33 win over the New England Patriots not only gave the city of Philadelphia its first Super Bowl championship in its history, it ended 57 years of suffering and misery for its football fanbase.

Seeing Jacksonville on the other side of the field is a major surprise; in fact, you could call it an absolute shock. For years, the Jaguars were perennial offseason winners without seeing any regular season success. It…

Pittsburgh is a high-profile, playoff-experienced team with a QB/RB/WR combo that rivals any in the league. Jacksonville hasn’t been in the playoffs in a decade and has a quarterback likely playing out his last days with the team. When they met back in Week 5, Jacksonville held…

Embed from Getty Images Sometimes the MVP race is a one-man race, and it’s all over but the actual voting. When Tom Brady threw 50 touchdowns in 2007, no one was taking it from him. When LaDainian Tomlinson scored 23 touchdowns in eight games in 2006 (and a record 31 for the season), it was game over. But this year? Not so much. There are a handful of candidates in…

Embed from Getty Images You can never predict football, but you really couldn’t predict 2017 football. The New York Jets, picked by many to be a candidate for an 0-16 season, have the same record as the New England Patriots. The worst quarterback a year ago (Jared Goff) is now one of the best. And the NFC race is as wide open as we’ve ever seen. Then again, maybe you…
