Four teams are in search of the playoffs today

Omar Rodríguez / Football / en, es / January 5, 2025

The Falcons and Buccaneers will compete for the last playoff spot in the NFC. Broncos and Dolphins will define the same, but in the AFC, where Bengals also have possibilities of qualifying. The NFL regular season is about to come to an end, but before saying goodbye to it, to start thinking about the playoffs, four teams will dispute the last spots of the American Conference and the National Conference, which promises us a day full of excitement. The last spot in the NFC At exactly 12 p.m., Central Mexico Time, the matchups that will define the last NFC spot will be Atlanta Falcons vs. Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans Saints. The Buccaneers only need to win their game against the Saints; with this result, they will catapult directly to the postseason. However, if the Bucs lose, the Falcons can access the playoffs if they win their match against the Panthers; if the Falcons lose, the Buccaneers advance automatically. A three-team battle in the AFC At 3:25 p.m., the games between Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins will decide the last invitee to the postseason in the American Conference, where three teams are still in the fight: Broncos, Dolphins, and Bengals, the latter waiting for the results of the first two after their victory over the Steelers. The Broncos only need to win against the Chiefs to quash the hopes of the other two teams. If Denver loses, the Dolphins would have the opportunity to enter the playoffs if they win their duel against the Jets, eliminating the Bengals. However, if both teams playing in the afternoon were to lose, the Cincinnati Bengals would advance as the seventh-best team in the AFC. Lions vs. Vikings, an unmissable match As an honorable mention for a matchup, where although both teams are already in the playoffs, there is still something at stake; it is about the number one seed in the NFC, where Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings will face off to be the best in the National Conference. We will undoubtedly have a conference final in this Week 18, which may give us hints of what we can expect in the playoff games. This match is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. Central Mexico Time.

La última semana de NFL está lista para comenzar

The NFL’s Final Week Is Set to Begin

Omar Rodríguez / Football / en, es / January 4, 2025

Week 18 of the NFL kicks off with Ravens vs. Browns and Steelers vs. Bengals. The Bengals must win to keep their playoff hopes alive, relying on two other results to go their way. The Stage Is Set for the Final Week The last week of the NFL regular season starts today, with five teams still in the hunt for the final playoff spots in their respective conferences. The day’s matchups feature the Baltimore Ravens taking on the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers facing the Cincinnati Bengals, with the latter being the highlight of Saturday’s slate. Ravens vs. Browns: A Formality The first game of the day is set for 3:30 p.m. CT at M&T Bank Stadium, where the playoff-bound Baltimore Ravens will host the eliminated Cleveland Browns. This game carries little consequence as the Ravens, with an 11-5 record, have secured their playoff berth and are on the verge of clinching their divisional title. On the other side, the Browns, with a dismal 3-13 record, are playing solely for pride and to end their season on a positive note. Steelers vs. Bengals: Do or Die The main event takes place at 7:00 p.m. CT, with the Bengals traveling to Acrisure Stadium to face the Steelers in a must-win situation. Cincinnati needs a victory to keep their playoff dreams alive while also relying on the outcome of other key games. The Steelers, boasting a 10-6 record, are one of the top teams in the AFC and present a formidable challenge. Meanwhile, the Bengals, sitting at 8-8, must win and hope for a miracle to secure their playoff spot. For Cincinnati to make the postseason, they need the Denver Broncos to lose their matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins to fall to the New York Jets. If the Broncos win their game, they will claim the final playoff spot, eliminating the Bengals and the Dolphins from contention. The stakes couldn’t be higher as the NFL’s final week unfolds, promising drama and excitement until the last whistle.

Bellingham le dio el triunfo al Madrid y son nuevos líderes

Bellingham Secures Victory for Madrid, Claiming the Top Spot in La Liga

Omar Rodríguez / Soccer / en, es / January 4, 2025

With significant challenges, Real Madrid managed to overturn a 1-0 deficit to secure a 1-2 victory against Valencia, thanks to goals from Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham, despite playing with 10 men. Real Madrid was on the brink of losing their grip on the La Liga leadership during their match against Valencia, currently second-to-last in the standings. Trailing for nearly 70 minutes, it was in the final five minutes of regulation time, plus stoppage time, that Madrid turned the game around, with Jude Bellingham scoring the decisive goal to propel his team to the top of the table. Valencia Takes Madrid by Surprise The match at the Mestalla began positively for the hosts, who created two early chances that forced Thibaut Courtois into action. It wasn’t until the 27th minute that Valencia capitalized on a counterattack. Dimitri Foulquier sent a cross from the right flank, which Javi Guerra struck first-time, hitting the post. The rebound fell into the center of the six-yard box, where Hugo Duro finished it off to give Valencia a 1-0 lead. Madrid Faces Further Setbacks In the second half, Real Madrid’s struggles intensified. In the 55th minute, Jude Bellingham had the chance to equalize from the penalty spot following a foul on Kylian Mbappé in the box. However, his shot hit the left post, missing the opportunity to level the score. Four minutes later, a potential goal from Mbappé was disallowed due to an offside call. Then, in the 79th minute, Vinícius Jr. received a red card for striking Valencia’s goalkeeper in the neck. The incident occurred after Vinícius was pulled up by the goalkeeper following a challenge in the area, which led to the heated exchange and subsequent dismissal. Modric and Bellingham Deliver the Comeback Despite being a man down, Real Madrid continued their offensive push. In the 85th minute, a well-executed attacking play resulted in Luka Modric receiving a through ball, leaving him one-on-one with the goalkeeper. The Croatian veteran calmly slotted the ball into the net, equalizing the score. In stoppage time, at 90+6 minutes, Valencia’s defense faltered. A careless turnover in their defensive line allowed Bellingham to recover the ball near the edge of the box. Facing the goalkeeper, the Englishman placed a precise shot into the net, completing the dramatic comeback and sealing the 1-2 victory for Real Madrid. New La Liga Leader With this win, Real Madrid now leads La Liga with 43 points, surpassing Atlético Madrid, who sit at 41 points but have a game in hand. Barcelona remains in third place with 38 points and will need to improve their form to stay in contention for the top spot.
