Only a fortunate—and clearly fantastic—set of four NFL teams remain in this season's pursuit of a Super Bowl triumph.
In the AFC, both of the top two seeds are still standing. In the NFC, though, the No. 1 seed is gone and was sent packing by a No. 6 seed with a rookie quarterback. Go figure.
In a way, this postseason has gone a long way toward highlighting what makes great teams great. In another, it has served as a reminder that anything can happen in this league on the proverbial any given Sunday.
