The Greatest Story on Turf: The Divisional Round 2024

The Greatest Story on Turf: The Divisional Round 2024 presents the story going into every playoff game. Each game is ranked, with the number one game being the most exciting of the weekend and predicted winners at the bottom of each matchup.


Texans vs. Chiefs

The Streak


The Chiefs haven't lost a playoff game in two years. Chiefs have never failed to make it to the conference Championship in the Patrick Mahomes era. Meanwhile, the Texans have already reached their ceiling. If the Texans win this game, it will be uncharted territory. At the beginning of the season, everyone believed in the Texans. Still, after some offensive struggles and injuries, everyone seemed to think they would be outmatched again in the divisional round. However, the Texans have fought through their struggles to make it here, and their defense is playing out of their mind. Can the Texans break the streak?

Prediction Chiefs


Rams vs. Eagles

Clash of Champions

Cooper Kupp catch

The Rams are former Super Bowl Champions trying to return to their former glory. They are an interesting team. Although they are not the most talented team in the NFL, they keep rising to the occasion. What is the Ram's true ceiling? This week will be a great test for the Rams. The Eagles are the most talented roster left in the playoffs. Can the Rams keep up?

The Eagles Football

The Eagles have a lot of weapons, but they haven't been using them all to win. There has been a lot of debate about why the Eagles offense hasn't been explosive. Is it strategic, or is this the best they can do? The Rams have one of the best coaches in the NFL and a future Hall of Fame QB. The Rams are gonna push the Eagles. Will the Eagles be able to tap into another gear?

Prediction Eagles


Commanders vs. Lions

Only One Underdog Story

The Lions receivers

Everyone has a favorite team, and then there's one everyone likes because they have such a good story and are fun to watch. Both the Commanders and the Lions fit that description. The Lions organization has never won a Super Bowl. The Detroit Lions fanbase went through the last 58 years, never seeing their team in the Super Bowl. If that weren't enough until Goff got there, they had only won one playoff game in all those decades, which was in the 90's. The Lions are searching for their first-ever Super Bowl; for once, they don't feel like the little engines that could. They have built themselves into one of the best teams in the NFL, and between the two teams, the Lions are definitely more prepared for this moment.

Jayden Daniels Commanders

However, the Commanders have a puncher's chance. It is a one-game season. This isn't basketball. The Commanders just have to catch the Lions slipping one time. Can the Commanders influence the Lions to have an off-game while the Commanders have the best game of their season? The Commanders have been upsetting teams all year. Can they do it one more time?

Prediction Lions


Bills vs. Ravens

Blockbuster Bout

Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen

There have been debates all year about who the MVP is: Lamar or Josh Allen. But it's not just MVP. Lamar and Josh Allen have been compared for years. Watching these two face off will be like watching two of the greatest boxers of a generation squaring off for the title. In the regular season, Lamar Jackson blew Josh Allen out so severely that Josh had to watch the game from the bench because it was that far out of hand.

Ravens Lamar Jackson

But now it's the playoffs, and anything can happen. Lamar has outperformed Josh Allen in every metric and has more individual awards than Josh, yet he's still doubted. This is his chance to certify everything he's done and, once and for all, prove that Josh Allen can't hang with him and permanently kill the narrative that he's not good in the playoffs.

Josh Allen Samuel

For Josh Allen, this is his chance to snatch back the momentum from Lamar and prove that he's better than Lamar when it matters most. Right now, Josh Allen's greatest playoff performance was a loss. His best playoff win was against the Ravens when Lamar got injured and didn't get to finish the game. He's never beaten someone who won their division. Just like Lamar can kill some narratives this year, so can Josh Allen. Josh Allen can finally beat one of the big dogs in the playoffs and certify all the faith that people had in him despite his lack of individual accolades. The stat comparisons are over. The hypotheticals are done. This debate will be decided in the playoffs with everything on the line.
