One way or another, there's history to be made

[Cheesehead]

GREEN BAY – There's not much left to talk about.


As "Path to the Playoffs" recently transformed into "Road to the Super Bowl," conversations about seeding, possible opponents, home field and the like have filled this space.


But that's all over with when the NFL is down to just four teams. Sure, there's no knowing who might be waiting in two weeks if another win is chalked up, but worrying about those options is misspent energy.


One win means a trip to the Super Bowl. That's it, that's all.


So here are some other thoughts to take into Championship Sunday, when one way or another, there's history to be made.


Of the four head coaches doing battle, only one has taken a team to a Super Bowl before – Kansas City's Andy Reid. He was also the only one of the four at this stage last year who could make that claim, having guided Philadelphia in 2004, and now he's also the only one who can say he won one.


Interestingly, though, the other three head coaches – Green Bay's Matt LaFleur, Tampa Bay's Bruce Arians and Buffalo's Sean McDermott – have reached a Super Bowl as an assistant coach, just not as a head coach, yet.


LaFleur was the quarterbacks coach for the 2016 Atlanta Falcons, who beat the Packers in the NFC title game to advance to the Super Bowl, where they lost to the Tom Brady-quarterbacked New England Patriots.
