The Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, and Kansas City Chiefs are the only teams left with a shot at the Super Bowl. These pairings should deliver exciting contests, given the deep talent pool each team has.
In addition to having the athletes who can make exceptional plays, they are also the teams that led the league in fourth-down conversions. According to Pro Football Reference, the Eagles have a 70.4 percent conversion rate, while the Chiefs are at 70.6 percent. The Bills ranked second at 72.7 percent, while the Commanders are at 87 percent. They are the only four teams above 70 percent.

Facing an offense that can convert their fourth-down attempts can be demoralizing for the opposing defense. Likewise, it can give an edge during tightly fought games, which could happen during the conference championship games. Delivering in the clutch should make both games exciting as the teams fight for the right to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
