The San Francisco 49ers became the first team to qualify for the NFL playoffs. With a surprising defeat by the Green Bay Packers at the New York Giants, the 49ers have secured their ticket. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans managed a remarkable comeback.
The playoff contenders Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers suffered surprising defeats in the NFL at the end of the 14th game day. The Dolphins, who have one of the league’s best offenses, lost 27-28 at home to the Tennessee Titans despite leading by 15 points. The Packers lost on the road to the New York Giants 22:24. While Miami continues to confidently lead its own AFC East division despite the defeat and is clearly on course for the playoffs, the Packers missed an important step towards the finals.
The defeat leaves Green Bay, which recently caused a stir with a win against the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, with a record of six wins and seven defeats. In the NFC Conference, the Packers are tied with five other teams. The result in New York also means the San Francisco 49ers are the first playoff team. The team from California can no longer be pushed out of one of the top seven spots in the NFC.
Meanwhile, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs apologized for his behavior towards the referees after the loss in the NFL game against the Buffalo Bills. “Of course you don’t want to react like that. I love this game and it’s important to me. I love my teammates and want to do everything to win. But of course that’s not possible. I can’t talk to the referees or anyone else like that bypassing life,” said the 28-year-old on the radio show “The Drive”.
The referees had taken back a Chiefs touchdown shortly before the end of the 17:20 loss against the Bills. Wide receiver Kadarius Toney positioned himself incorrectly. After the game ended, Mahomes completely lost his temper and yelled at the referees. It was only with difficulty that his teammates held him back. Bills quarterback Josh Allen also felt the anger of the two-time MVP on the field. “More than anything, I regret the way I behaved towards Josh after the game because he had nothing to do with it,” Mahomes said ruefully: “I was still upset and emotional, but you can do that “Don’t do it. That’s not a good example for kids watching the game.”
