The time has officially come. The biggest game of the football season is two weeks away. Super Bowl 2026 is happening Feb. 8.
Fans of the sport witnessed two great games on Jan. 25. The AFC championship game and the NFC championship game.
The Denver Broncos faced the New England Patriots faced off against each other in a back-and-forth battle for victory. The two had a very low scoring game against each other. With only three scores throughout the entire game.
It opened with the Broncos backup quarterback Jarret Stidham passing to Courtland Sutton to get the touchdown. Wil Lutz scored the extra point, which brought the score to 7-0 in the first quarter.
In the second period Drake Maye rushed six yards for a touchdown. Followed by Andres Borregales making his extra point which made the game a tie game at 7-7.
In the third quarter Borregales is given an attempt to bring his team in the lead with a field goal. The kick was good and brought the Patriots to a score of 10. This was the last goal of the game.
The Patriots won the game 10-7. Which made the Patriots the AFC championship winners, locking them in as the first announced team for the Super Bowl.
In the NFC Championship game was a lot more eventful than the AFC.
The Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks game started off with the Seahawks making the first movement of the game. Kenneth Walker III scored a touchdown and was followed by Jason Myers making the extra point.
Harrison Mevis made a 44-yard field goal for the Rams bringing the game to 7-3, unfortunately the plan of going into the second period with that being the last score for the first did not happen.
Myers made a 27-yard field goal bringing the score to 10-3 in favor of the Seahawks.
In the second quarter Mevis scored another field goal, bringing the game to 10-6.
His field goal was followed by Kyren Williams making a touchdown and Mevis making the extra point. This brought the game to 10-13.
After that the Seahawks needed some more action.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored a touchdown, and Meyers scored the extra point, bringing the game to 17-13.
In the third quarter, Jake Bobo scored a touchdown, and Myers scored the extra point, making it 24-13.
Davante Adams and the Rams weren’t done yet, however, as Adams makes a touchdown, and Mevis made the extra point, bringing the game to 24-20.
Cooper Kupp scored a touchdown and Myers’ extra point was good making the game 31-20.
