Well done to the 49ers and Packers!

As I eluded to before, the best teams in the NFL are the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers. And I've been backed up.

Why?


They've clinched their divisions with a couple of games to spare just as the battle in the AFC heated up.

The 49ers clinched the NFC West division title with a 26-0 win over the Rams in San Francisco. It means Joe Montana and Steve Young's old team will be back in the play-offs where they belong for the first time since 2002.

Meanwhile, the Packers clinched a playoff spot even before they took the field for their game against those party-poopers, the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. This was because the Cutler-less Bears had lost at home to the Chiefs and because the Packers have the edge head-to-head with the Lions.

But a very-last-minute Mason Crosby field goal ensured that the Packers would also win the NFC North title as well. The Giants thought they had another chance to spoil the party for a team trying to achieve the perfect season when they went over for a late touchdown and got the two-point conversion to make it 35-all with only seconds to spare.

But up stepped Rodgers who is now probably playing the best season a quarterback has ever played in the NFL ever. He threw 2 consecutive 1st downs including a monster pass to Jordy Nelson that led the Packers deep into Giants territory.

The Packers are now only 4 games from perfection with only the Raiders, Chiefs (away) and Bears and Lions left to face.
