Back on September 8, the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams began the journey that was the 2022 NFL season. Two hundred and seventy-two games later on January 8, the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions completed that journey.
Only one of those four teams will be playing next week.
It's been a season as filled with surprises as it was with excitement. After winning the Super Bowl last year, the Rams fell apart. After losing the Super Bowl last year, the Cincinnati Bengals continued to thrive. The New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings exceeded expectations.
