And then there were four. The top two seeds in the National Conference advanced while the bottom two seeds in the American Conference won on the road. Milwaukee and Spokane are left in the National, while the league's greatest rivalry will meet for the eighth time in the postseason in the American side (Orlando and Tampa Bay). The divisional round was the highest scoring of any four-team playoff round in league history. This and more are featured in the Divisional Playoff edition of Breaking it Down.

Big players make big plays in big games. In Saturday night’s AFL first round playoff game against the Chicago Rush, Damian Harrell reminded everyone of why he is one of the best to ever play this game.
Replicating performances that we have seen from him many times before when he played for the Colorado Crush, Harrell caught nine passes for 90 yards for the Milwaukee Iron as they defeated the Rush 64 -54, thus ending the season for Chicago. After fellow wide receiver Antoine Burns scored the first four touchdowns for the Iron, Harrell went on a tear and scored the final five touchdowns for Milwaukee. He took control of the game by making some very difficult catches.
