Breaking down the final 4 teams in the NFC playoff field

The final four in the NFC is set: the Packers, Buccaneers, Rams and 49ers. Let’s break down the field.

The Los Angeles Rams beat up on the Arizona Cardinals in the final game of the NFL’s Wild Card Round on Monday night. The field of four is now set in each conference. In the NFC, it’s the Rams, Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers.

The Rams (2018), 49ers (2019) and Buccaneers (2020) represented the NFC in the last three Super Bowls, while the Packers have been knocking on the Super Bowl door each of the last two seasons.

Three more games – starting with two in the divisional round – will determine who is the NFC representative in 2021.

The Packers will host the 49ers on Saturday night, while the Buccaneers will host the Rams on Sunday afternoon. The winners will meet for the NFC Championship Game next weekend, with a trip to Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles on the line.
