Optimistic narratives seemed to have a slight edge in this half of the bracket. Will that trend continue? Or will voters turn to the dark side in the semifinals?

Detroit Lions - Robert Foster touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars - Josh Allen 75-yard touchdown pass
The sixth seed was the lone upset in the first round of voting. Most of what could be said above can be said here as well. The pass is amplified with Josh Allen being swarmed early yet surviving to make the play. The sweet revenge over a mouthy opponent provides another angle that hopeful fans may latch onto to help this underdog keep rolling.

Miami Dolphins - Kyle Williams’s reception
While our second seed continues a trend of positive narratives, this one stands out thanks to a bittersweet farewell soon after. The youth movement is still represented with Josh Allen, but Kyle Williams’s last ride stands out as a passing of the torch. Will this tale of transition resonate?

Los Angeles Chargers - Vontae Davis retires
Our fourth seed makes it two-for-two on mirror matches as this face-off is the duel of the retirements. If there’s one former Buffalo Bill that will be missed as much as Kyle Williams it’s gotta be Vontae Davis. Or in all likelihood this play is instead the poster child of a lost season. Where at one point the team seemed busy trailblazing new paths to sadness. It started as a joke, but here it is in the semifinals. Vontae Davis’s last snap before retirement.
