It was January football at its very best: Dramatic, unpredictable and back-and-forth heavyweight fights. In the first bout, the Philadelphia Eagles survived a late charge by the Los Angeles Rams to win by a score of 28-22. The Eagles’ had thought they put the game away on a long run from Saquon Barkley but the Rams made it interesting late, driving all the way down the field looking for a winning touchdown until they couldn’t complete one final pass in a Philly snowstorm. In the late game, it was the Buffalo Bills surviving a late rally by their opponent, the talented and tough Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens scored a touchdown with 1:33 to go to come within two, but their star tight end Mark Andrews bobbled the two-point conversion and couldn’t haul it in, costing his team a chance to send it into overtime. The Bills and Eagles now advance to the conference championship.
