The Sunday Night Football was as epic as ever. We thought the Chiefs and the Eagles were the champions, but fate had something else in mind for the top performers of the NFL. The San Francisco 49ers completely blew out the Eagles, proving themselves as legit Super Bowl Contenders. As for the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes’ first time in Lambeau was a disappointment, not to mention that game Jordan Love, and the Packers had against Andy Reid and his team.

The 49ers have re-enforced their chances of making it to the Super Bowl, beating the Kansas City Chiefs to it. The final 42-10 score proved that the 49ers are not a gimmick, and they have what it takes to make it to the Super Bowl this year. While the Eagles remain at the top of the list, who else can we expect to make it to the playoffs, and better yet, the Super Bowl?
