Following a season with many teams surprising and some of the favorites disappointing, the great emotion that produces the NFLs Super Bowl is getting closer and closer. On this XLIII edition the protagonists of the Divisional Round playoffs made clear their wishes of gaining the trophy. Baltimore vs. Tennessee From this encounter the Ravens left victorious with a 13-10 over the Titans, what gives them the opportunity to move forward to the next round in which will be defined the champions of every conference, in Baltimore Ravens case the American Conference. The huge rivalry between these two teams was palpable during the whole game. The strong attacks, as well as a powerful offensive and the constant confrontations between the players was part of the picture, in which we also saw Baltimore obtain the victory after taking advantage on the continuous mistakes its rival committed. With a defiant defense, the Ravens imposed to the men from Tennessee, who missed good chances to score. From Baltimore it was perceived a similar game strategy from the one seen in the way to their last visit to a Super Bowl (2000), when they were crowned champions. Arizona vs. Carolina The Cardinals managed to break their bad streak by beating 33-13 the Carolina Panthers; if they finished triumphant the round, Arizona will marked in their history books the first time in a Super Bowl game. Arizona arrived to this phase of the championship as a team with really small possibilities of reaching a victory due to its deficient record, in which more losses are stored than successes; but the Cardinals proved the opposite by imposing the Panthers that appeared inferiors before their assaults. It was crushing victory that allowed Arizona to rupture the schemes and demonstrated that they have the capacity to survive from some pretty bad times.

San Diego vs. Pittsburgh The Pittsburgh Steelers, who defeated the San Diego Chargers 35-24, keeping the control on the ball during most of the game, which helped them to enforce before a team that characterized for the lack of order and control. Without a doubt part of this conquest happened due to improve in the Steelers offensive that at the beginning of the postseason wasnt looking so strong. Now Pittsburgh will have to face Baltimore Ravens for the American Conference title, and surely thinking ahead on the highest title of the American football. This conference match will definitively be very intense and loaded of thrilling moments, where the rough physical clashes will be the main spectacle.
