As the end of the 2015-2016 National Football League (NFL) season draws near, the remaining teams are willing to give their all to win the prized title of the Super Bowl. While only 4 teams remain; this past weekend’s games were nothing short of spectacular, in the chase for the World Championship game on February 7. This year’s game also happens to be the 50 year anniversary of the Super Bowl, since the first game ever played was on January 15, 1967.

At the beginning of the weekend of January 16, eight teams remained. All games played were within a 7 point margin or less. These nail-bitter games were exactly what sports fans near and wide were hoping for.

The first game of the weekend was between the Chiefs and Patriots. The Kansas City Chiefs were going into this game 12-6 facing off the New England Patriots who were 13-4. Both teams were confident in their successful plays and traditions that had gotten them to this point. But in the end, the Patriots reigned victorious with a 27-20 win over the Chiefs. This win takes the Patriots straight to the AFC championship.
