Here's how the NFL Conference Finals look on the road to Super Bowl 2025

The NFL playoffs continue to be exciting, and the Conference Finals are already beginning to take shape after the intense matches of the Divisional Round. Here we tell you how the teams that seek to reach the 2025 Super Bowl are shaping up.

Kansas City advances with authority
The Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, met expectations and beat the Houston Texans 23-14 in a very close match, but where the favorite team ultimately prevailed. The Chiefs, with their 15-2 record in the regular season, secured first place in the American Conference, which allowed them to rest during the Wild Card Round and come into this match with freshness.

With this victory, Kansas City not only consolidates itself as a dominant team, but also keeps alive the possibility of becoming the first three-time champion in NFL history. An unprecedented achievement that they could reach if they manage to overcome the next stages of the road. Now, the Chiefs are waiting for an opponent to define the AFC representative in the Super Bowl.

Washington surprises and eliminates Detroit
In the other big duel of the day, the Washington Commanders gave the surprise of the playoffs by defeating the Detroit Lions 45-31, a team that arrived as one of the favorites not only to advance, but also to play in the Super Bowl.

The failure of the Lions, who have not won an NFL title since 1957, leaves a bitter taste for their fans, who will have to wait at least one more year to break their historic championship drought. Washington, for its part, is advancing strongly and is positioned as a team capable of fighting for the title.

The road to the 2025 Super Bowl
With Kansas City securing its place in the American Conference Final and Washington doing the same in the National Conference, the next few days will define the clashes that will determine who will compete for the Vince Lombardi trophy in the Super Bowl, which will take place in New Orleans on February 9.

Upcoming games:
American Conference: Kansas City awaits an opponent between the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins.
National Conference: Washington will face the winner of the duel between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The excitement continues to grow, and the 2025 Super Bowl promises to be one of the most competitive in recent years.
