No problems: The Patriots are in the semifinals

With precise passes and a strong running attack, Brady and the Patriots dismantled the California defense. In the end, the five-time Super Bowl winner had 343 passing yards and a touchdown. His passes found seven different receivers in the game, led by wide receiver Julian Edelmann with nine caught passes and 157 yards. “I just like to win,” Brady replied when asked if the playoff win will silence at least a few of the doubters.

With their eighth semi-final appearance in a row, the Patriots also improved their own playoff record. In the semifinals, Bill Belichick's team will face the Kansas City Chiefs. Young star quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave the Indianapolis Colts no chance in their 31:13 win on Saturday.

“Holy Nick” is out In the second quarterfinal of the day, the Philadelphia Eagles had to say goodbye to a possible title defense. The Super Bowl winner led by Nick Foles failed in the NFC Divisional game against the New Orleans Saints 14:20 (14:0). Saints quarterback Drew Brees led his team back on the road to success after an early 0:14 deficit with two touchdowns and 301 yards thrown. “I think we just had to find our rhythm,” Brees said afterwards.

However, defensive player Marshon Lattimore made the decision in favor of the Saints, recording his second interception just under two minutes before the end of the game. Super Bowl hero Foles, for whom it may have been the last game in the Eagles jersey, had 201 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. In the semifinals next Sunday, the Saints will host the Los Angeles Rams, who had already beaten the Dallas Cowboys 30:22 yesterday.
