The Buffalo Bills football team hasn't been in the playoffs for a long time. In fact, the last time was in 2000--more than 17 years ago. They were the last team in any of the four major sports in North America (football, baseball, basketball, hockey) to make the playoffs in the 21st Century. Now that's a drought!*
But that all changed this year and the Buffalo Bills got to go to the playoffs.

Is it the action? The drama? The competition? The incredible athletes?

Most likely, everyone's answer is a little different. However, no matter what brought the millions of viewers worldwide to their TVs, this year's NFL championship game, The Super Bowl had it all.

]]> Super Bowl More Like Super Blowout https://teachingkidsnews.com/2014/02/03/1-super-bowl-wrap/ Tue, 04 Feb 2014 03:17:17 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=12244 The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl XLVIII in grand style. Seattle crushed Denver 43-8.

Seattle’s number-one ranked defence was commanding. In fact, the defense of Seattle kept Denver scoreless for the first half of the game.

Denver’s number-one ranked offence was pathetic.

It was the first time since 1990 that both the number one-offence and the number-one defence played against each other in the Super Bowl.

Peyton Manning, Denver’s quarterback did try his best, though. He set a record with 33 completions (the number of times a ball is successfully passed to a teammate). Nevertheless, he had a night to forget.

On February 2, professional football’s biggest and most important game -- the Super Bowl -- will take place.

The Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks will be battling each other for league supremacy.

Denver enters the game with the league’s number-one offence. Seattle enters the game with the league’s number-one defence.

Denver has one of the best quarterbacks ever to play football: Peyton Manning.

He is the only player ever selected league as the National Football League Most Valuable Player four times. He’s expected to become the first five-time MVP when the league’s year-end awards are announced on Saturday.

]]> The National Football League… Expect the Unexpected https://teachingkidsnews.com/2013/09/23/expect-unexpected-national-football-league/ Tue, 24 Sep 2013 02:31:24 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=11022 The NFL (National Football League) is in full swing and many exciting stories have already begun to unfold.

Although the league opened just three weeks ago, teams have already surprised their fans, for better and for worse.

Seven of the 32 teams in the league are now 3-0 (3 wins – no losses).

But it may not be the teams you would expect.

Favourites such as The Seattle Seahawks, The Denver Broncos and The New England Patriots are 3-0, but so are The Kansas City Chiefs, The Miami Dolphins, The Chicago Bears, and The New Orleans Saints—four teams that didn’t even make the playoffs last year.
