The final four end being the four teams that won the most games in 2019, a fitting pair of matchups for our penultimate week of action; Hill Valley and Pawnee have been waiting, while New York and HCM City have arrived. We'll take a look at the matchups that were now, and the matchups that are later, as we barrel towards 2019's thrilling conclusion.
Week 14 Matchups
#3 New York's Finest defeat #6 Ohio Tommy Boys
New York's offense was firing in this one, while their secondary of Buddha Baker, Marcus Peters, and Adrian Amos made big plays in a bend but don't break display on the other side of the ball. Joe Mixon had himself a day, but a disappointing performance from Russel Wilson kept the Tommy Boys from really competing in their first ever playoff appearance. Of note: New York QB Lamar Jackson (and likely MVP) was injured and is questionable for the team's semifinal matchup.
OPOG: RB Joe Mixon OTB (30.70)
DPOG: S Adrian Amos NYF (27.65)
#4 HCM Lead Farmers defeat #5 South Park Cows
The Lead Farmers were powered by their irrepressible runningback duo in this one, with Christian McCaffrey and Aaron Jones combining for 57 points, dwarfing the Cows' hobbled ground game. Outstanding defensive efforts from Eric Reid, Luke Kuechly, and Jaylon Smith kept the Cows in spitting distance, but with HCM's offense rolling (every offensive player except TE Daniel Fells scored doubled digits) South Park found itself outgunned and undermanned.
OPOG: QB Jameis Winston HCM (36.24)
DPOG: LB Jaylon Smith SPC (25.30)
#9 Carmel Rudy-Toos defeat #12 Mar-A-Lago Grabbers
Phil Rivers is not dead yet! Abandoned by the Petes after failing to lead them to the playoffs, he takes the reins in Carmel, and in conjunction with a healthy ground game (Zeke Elliot & Devin Singletary bursting through holes) he utilized TE Zach Ertz to great effect. The Grabbers' defense came to play in week 14, led by James Burgess, Joe Haden, and Devondre Campbell. Unfortunately, there was only so much Pat Mahomes could do with his cadre of inept weapons- and breakout rookies Darius Slayton and Terry McLaurin parked on the bench.
OPOG: QB Philip Rivers CRT (27.16)
DPOG: LB James Burgess MAL (25.50)
#11 Savannah Petes defeat #10 Binghamton Snipers
The Petes thoroughly outplayed the Snipers in this bottom of the bottom bracket matchup. Despite a lackluster game from top pick Alvin Kamara, Savannah showed a ton of gumption with Jimmy Garoppolo under center and downfield weapons Emmanuel Sanders, Keenan Allen, and Cooper Kupp flashing. The Linebacking corps swarmed for Savannah each scoring in double digits. On the other side of the ball, Bobby Wagner stood alone against the rush. Running backs Chris Carson and Philip Lindsay finished the game with adequate numbers against a defense just bleeding out the clock.
OPOG: WR Emmanuel Sanders SAV (35.90)
DPOG: LB Bobby Wagner BIN (18.00)
