2013–14 NCAA Division I women's basketball rankings
Two human polls make up the 2013–14 NCAA Division I women's basketball rankings, the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll, in addition to various publications' preseason polls.


2013–14 NCAA Division I women's basketball rankings, AP Poll
This poll is compiled by sportswriters across the nation. In Division I men's and women's college basketball, the AP Poll is largely just a tool to compare schools throughout the season and spark debate, as it has no bearing on postseason play.


2013–14 NCAA Division I women's basketball rankings, USA Today Coaches Poll
The Coaches Poll is the second oldest poll still in use after the AP Poll. It is compiled by a rotating group of 32 college Division I head coaches. The Poll operates by Borda count. Each voting member ranks teams from 1 to 25. Each team then receives points for their ranking in reverse order: Number 1 earns 25 points, number 2 earns 24 points, and so forth. The points are then combined and the team with the highest points is then ranked #1; second highest is ranked #2 and so forth. Only the top 25 teams with points are ranked, with teams receiving first place votes noted the quantity next to their name. The maximum points a single team can earn is 800.


2013–14 NCAA Division I women's basketball season
The 2013–14 NCAA Division I women's basketball season began in November and ended with the Final Four in Nashville, Tennessee April 6–8.


2013–14 NCAA Division I women's basketball season, Conference membership changes
The 2013–14 season saw the largest wave of membership changes resulting from a major realignment of NCAA Division I conferences. The cycle began in 2010 with the Big Ten and the then-Pac-10 publicly announcing their intentions to expand. The fallout from these conferences' moves later affected a majority of D-I conferences. The most significant developments this season were:

In addition, four schools began the transition up from Division II starting this season. These schools were ineligible for NCAA-sponsored postseason play until completing their D-I transitions in 2017.

The 2013–14 NCAA Division II men's ice hockey season began on November 1, 2013 and concluded on March 1 of the following year. This was the 32nd season of second-tier college ice hockey.


2013–14 NCAA Division III men's ice hockey season
The 2013–14 NCAA Division III men's ice hockey season began on October 26, 2013, and concluded on March 22, 2014. This was the 41st season of Division III college ice hockey.


2013–14 NCAA Division III men's ice hockey season
The WIAC began sponsoring ice hockey for the 2013–14 season. Because the conference contained only five active ice hockey programs (below the minimum of seven required by the NCAA) the league did not receive an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament for its conference tournament champion. The NCHA, with only two teams remaining, then merged with the MCHA. The new league would retain the NCHA name and preserve its automatic qualifier.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games
The 2013–14 NCAA football bowl games were a series of college football bowl games. They concluded the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season, and included 35 team-competitive games and three all-star games (down from four as the Texas vs the Nation game was cancelled for this season). The games began on Saturday December 21, 2013 and, aside from the all-star games, ended with the 2014 BCS National Championship at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena that was played on January 6, 2014.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games
The total of 35 team-competitive bowls was unchanged from the previous year. While bowl games had been the purview of only the very best teams for nearly a century, this was the eighth consecutive year that teams with non-winning seasons participated in bowl games. To fill the 70 available bowl slots, a total of eight teams (11% of all participants) with non-winning seasons participated in bowl games—all eight had a .500 (6–6) season.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Schedule
The 2013–14 bowl season served as the last for the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) format. Starting in 2014–15 a new system, the College Football Playoff, was used.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Schedule
The 2013–2014 bowl game schedule, with 70 teams to compete in 35 bowls, was announced in May 2013. All bowl game participants were selected by December 8, 2013.

2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Selection of the teams
To play in a bowl game, a college football team must qualify to do so according to the NCAA rules of bowl eligibility.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Selection of the teams
As in the 2010, 2011, and 2012 seasons, initial bowl eligibility would go to teams with no lower than a non-losing record (6–6) for the season. On August 2, 2012, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved a significant change to the process to determine bowl eligible teams, going so far as to potentially allow 5–7 teams to go to a bowl, in case there were not enough regular bowl-eligible teams to fill every game.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Selection of the teams
The easing of the bowl eligibility rules resulted in a record number of teams, 79 versus the 71 or 72 of the past few seasons, being deemed eligible for selection to a 2013–14 bowl game. The easing of rules to include teams with losing records and teams from the lower Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), will carry extra importance starting in the 2014–15 bowl season, when the number of bowl games will increase to 39—requiring 78 eligible teams.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Selection of the teams
If a bowl has one or more conferences/teams unable to meet their contractual commitments and there are no available bowl-eligible teams, the open spots can be filled – by the particular bowl's sponsoring agencies – as follows:


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Selection of the teams
Under a rule change approved by the NCAA Legislative Council on May 3, 2013, teams that enter a conference championship game with a 6–6 record, with no more than one win over an FCS school, are bowl-eligible regardless of the result of the championship game, without the team having to seek an NCAA waiver.

2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Changes for 2014–15
Starting in 2014–15 a new system, the College Football Playoff, has been used to determine the national champion.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Changes for 2014–15
The new format uses a committee of 13 people to select and seed the top 12 teams. These teams are paired in six of the ten oldest bowl games—the Rose, Sugar, Orange, Cotton, Peach and Fiesta bowls. These games have been marketed as the "New Year's Six", with three bowls played daily, typically on consecutive days around New Year's Day.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Changes for 2014–15
Within this New Year's Six format, the top four seeded teams are paired in two national semi-finals, followed by a national championship game played on the first Monday that is six or more days after the semifinals, at a neutral site. The two semi-finals will rotate each year, first at the Rose and Sugar bowls, then the Orange and Fiesta bowls, then the Cotton and Peach bowls.


2013–14 NCAA football bowl games, Changes for 2014–15
In addition, the number of bowls expanded to 39 games in 2014–15, with four new games – the Camellia Bowl, scheduled for the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama pitting the Sun Belt against the MAC; the Bahamas Bowl, played in Nassau between the MAC and the American Athletic Conference; the Miami Beach Bowl, played in Marlins Park with an AAC team as host; and the Boca Raton Bowl, played at FAU Stadium, with a third MAC team taking on a team from Conference USA. The increase to 76 teams (38 bowls + national championship played by semi-final bowl winners) in bowl play required the easing of bowl eligibility rules, allowing teams with losing records or teams in the lower FCS to be deemed eligible for invitation to a bowl game.


2013–14 NFL playoffs
The National Football League playoffs for the 2013 season began on January 4, 2014. The postseason tournament concluded with the Seattle Seahawks defeating the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII, 43–8, on February 2, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Participants
Within each conference, the four division winners and the two wild card teams (the top two non-division winners with the best overall regular season records) qualified for the playoffs. The four division winners are seeded 1 through 4 based on their overall won-lost-tied record, and the wild card teams are seeded 5 and 6. The NFL does not use a fixed bracket playoff system, and there are no restrictions regarding teams from the same division matching up in any round.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Participants
In the first round, dubbed the wild-card playoffs or wild-card weekend, the third-seeded division winner hosts the sixth seed wild card, and the fourth seed hosts the fifth. The 1 and 2 seeds from each conference then receive a bye in the first round. In the second round, the divisional playoffs, the number 1 seed hosts the worst surviving seed from the first round (seed 4, 5, or 6), while the number 2 seed will play the other team (seed 3, 4, or 5).


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Participants
The two surviving teams from each conference's divisional playoff games then meet in the respective AFC and NFC Conference Championship games, hosted by the higher seed. Although the Super Bowl, the fourth and final round of the playoffs, is played at a neutral site, the designated home team is based on an annual rotation by conference.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Schedule
In a change from previous seasons, both late games during the Divisional Playoffs were AFC games (as opposed to each conference having both an early game on one day and a late game on the other day).

2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
Trailing 38–10 a few minutes into the third quarter, Indianapolis scored 35 second half points to overcome a 28-point deficit to win, 45–44, in the second biggest comeback victory in NFL postseason history, behind just the Buffalo Bills' 32-point deficit in their 41–38 comeback Wild Card game win against the Houston Oilers in 1992. For Kansas City, the loss extended their playoff win drought to 20 years.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
The game got off to a rough start for the Chiefs, as starting running back Jamaal Charles was knocked out of the game on the opening drive. But before this, he rushed three times for 18 yards as the team drove 84 yards in 14 plays. Quarterback Alex Smith added a 16-yard run, and converted the drive's only third down with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Dwayne Bowe. Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck quickly led his team back, completing seven consecutive passes for 74 yards.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
Four of them went to T. Y. Hilton, including a 24-yarder and a 10-yard touchdown catch to tie the game at 7. On the next possession, Smith completed a 68-yard pass to Bowe at the Colts 2-yard line. But the team could not get into the end zone with their next three plays and had to settle for Ryan Succop's 19-yard field goal to take a 10–7 lead. Then after a Colts three-and-out, Smith launched a 79-yard touchdown bomb to Donnie Avery, increasing the Chiefs lead to 17–7 21 seconds into the second quarter.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
The situation continued to deteriorate for Indianapolis. On the first play of their next possession, Trent Richardson lost a fumble that linebacker Justin Houston recovered and returned seven yards to the Colts 17-yard line. Two plays later, Smith's 5-yard touchdown throw to fullback Anthony Sherman on a shovel pass made the score 24–7. This time the Colts managed to respond with a 61-yard scoring drive in which Luck completed a 16-yard pass to Griff Whalen and rushed for a 21-yard gain after faking a hand off up the middle on a fourth and 1 conversion.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
Adam Vinatieri finished the drive with a 37-yard field goal, cutting the score to 24–10. However, Smith also got to pass and rush, as he carried the ball four times for 24 yards and completed five passes for 33 on an 81-yard drive that ended with Knile Davis' 4-yard touchdown run, putting the Chiefs up 31–10. The Colts managed to reach midfield on their next possession, but defensive back Brandon Flowers intercepted a pass from Luck to keep them from scoring before halftime.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
On the first play of the second half, defensive back Husain Abdullah intercepted Luck and returned the ball four yards to the Colts' 18-yard line, setting up Smith's 10-yard scoring toss to Davis that put them up by 28, 38–10. It seemed that Kansas City was in complete control of the game, but Indianapolis suddenly stormed back with 14 unanswered points. First, Luck's 46-yard completion to reserve receiver Da'Rick Rogers moved the ball to the Chiefs' 10-yard line, and Donald Brown ran the ball into the end zone on the next play.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
Then linebacker Robert Mathis forced a fumble while sacking Smith, and fellow linebacker Kelvin Sheppard recovered for the Colts on the Chiefs' 41-yard line just before it rolled out of bounds. The offense then capitalized with Luck completing four out of five passes, the last a 3-yard scoring pass to Brown that cut the score to 38–24.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
Following a Chiefs punt, Abdullah intercepted another pass from Luck. Kansas City took over on the Indianapolis 28-yard line, and scored on a 42-yard Succop field goal to give them a 17-point lead, 41–24, with just over five minutes left in the third quarter. But Luck quickly led the Colts back, completing a 25-yard pass to Brown on the first play of the next possession, and later hooking up with LaVon Brazill for a 35-yard gain before finishing it off with a 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Coby Fleener.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
Then after a three-and-out, Kansas City punter Dustin Colquitt's 31-yard boot pinned Indianapolis back at their own 10-yard line. But it did not stop the Colts, as Luck completed five out of six passes for 61 yards and rushed for 12 on a 90-yard scoring drive. On the last play, Brown fumbled the ball while trying to run it into the end zone, but it bounced right back into the hands of Luck, who took it across the goal line himself for a touchdown. With this score, the lead was cut to 41–38 with 10:38 left in the game.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
Aided by A. J. Jenkins' 27-yard reception, the Chiefs managed to run the clock down to 5:36 with their ensuing drive. Succop finished it off with a 43-yard field goal to put the team up by six points. But three plays after the kickoff, Luck fired a deep pass to Hilton over the middle, who caught it without breaking stride and took off for a 64-yard touchdown catch, giving Indy their first lead of the game at 45–44. With 4:21 left, Kansas City desperately tried to get in range for a go-ahead field goal.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
Smith started the drive with a pair of completions to Bowe for 38 yards. But after a 3-yard running play moved the ball to the Colts 39-yard line, Smith was flagged for a 10-yard intentional grounding penalty. The next play netted the team six yards, bringing up fourth down and 11. On the next play, Smith threw a deep pass to Bowe along the right sideline. Bowe made a leaping catch with enough yardage for a first down, but landed with only one foot in bounds, causing a turnover on downs and allowing Indianapolis to run out the rest of the clock.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
For Kansas City, Smith finished the game 30-for-46 for 378 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 57 yards. His top receiver was Bowe, who caught eight passes for 150 yards and a touchdown. Davis rushed for 67 yards, caught seven passes for 33 yards, and scored two touchdowns. Abdullah had six tackles and two interceptions. For Indianapolis, Luck finished 29-for-45 for 443 yards and four touchdowns, with three interceptions. He also rushed for 45 yards and scored a fumble recovery touchdown. Hilton caught 13 passes for 224 yards – the third highest total in postseason history – and two touchdowns.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
Both teams combined for 1,049 total yards (513 for Kansas City, 536 for Indianapolis), an NFL postseason record. This was the first wildcard playoff game ever to feature two former number one draft picks at quarterback; Smith in 2005 and Luck in 2012. This was the eighth consecutive playoff loss for Kansas City, an NFL record.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, AFC: Indianapolis Colts 45, Kansas City Chiefs 44
This was the fourth postseason meeting between the Colts and Chiefs. Indianapolis won all three prior meetings, including 23-8 in the 2006 AFC Wild Card playoffs.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
Saints kicker Shayne Graham, who was signed by the team just a few weeks before this game, kicked four field goals, the last a game winner as time expired to give the team their first road playoff win in franchise history.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
The first quarter of the game was scoreless. The farthest the Saints made it was to the Eagles 49-yard line, and that drive ended when Drew Brees was intercepted by defensive back Bradley Fletcher, who returned the ball 24 yards to the New Orleans 27-yard line. After the turnover, Philadelphia drove to the Saints 15-yard line, but New Orleans' defense made two key plays to prevent a score. First, Curtis Lofton tackled tight end Brent Celek on a screen pass for an 8-yard loss. Then defensive end Cameron Jordan sacked Nick Foles for an 11-yard loss, pushing the Eagles all the way back to the 34-yard line. Following a 4-yard gain on third down, Alex Henery missed a 48-yard field goal 34 seconds into the second quarter.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
After the miss, New Orleans drove 43 yards to score on Graham's 36-yard field goal and take the lead, aided by a replay review that caused officials to overturn a lost fumble by tight end Jimmy Graham. New Orleans subsequently forced the Eagles to punt on their next drive, but then linebacker DeMeco Ryans intercepted Brees and returned the ball 23 yards to the Saints' 44-yard line. Philadelphia receiver Riley Cooper started off their possession with a 22-yard reception, and finished it with a 10-yard touchdown catch to give the Eagles a 7–3 lead.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
New Orleans responded with a 47-yard scoring drive, with Brees completing a 17-yard pass to Jimmy Graham and a 13-yarder to Kenny Stills on the way to a 46-yard field goal by Shayne Graham with less than two minutes left in the half, cutting the score to 7–6 going into halftime.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
Philadelphia was forced to punt on their opening drive of the second half, and Darren Sproles returned the ball 12 yards to the Saints 47-yard line. Aided by Mark Ingram's three carries for 24 yards, New Orleans drove 53 yards to score their first touchdown on Brees' 24-yard pass to receiver Lance Moore, giving them a 13–7 lead. The next time New Orleans had the ball, they matched that feat with a 66-yard scoring drive.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
Tight end Benjamin Watson caught a 24-yard pass, while Ingram had five carries for 26 yards, the last a 4-yard touchdown run that put his team up 20–7. The Eagles managed to respond, with Foles' 40-yard completion to DeSean Jackson setting up a 1-yard touchdown run by LeSean McCoy, trimming their deficit to 20–14 with just over 30 seconds left in the third quarter.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
New Orleans went three-and-out on their next drive, and Jackson's 29-yard punt return to the Saints' 40-yard line set up Henery's 30-yard field goal. But Brees' 40-yard completion to Robert Meachem helped move the Saints in range for another Graham field goal to put them back up by six points at 23–17. Taking the ball back with just over eight minutes left in regulation, the Eagles managed to drive 77 yards to take the lead, aided by a 40-yard pass interference penalty on defensive back Corey White.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
Foles finished the drive with a 3-yard touchdown toss to tight end Zach Ertz, giving the Eagles a 24–23 lead with 4:54 remaining. However, the Saints would need to cover little ground for their game-winning drive, as Sproles returned the ensuing kickoff 39 yards, with a horse-collar tackle penalty on Cary Williams adding on another 15.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
As a result, New Orleans got the ball on the Eagles' 48-yard line and needed just 34 yards to set up Graham's game-winning 32-yard field goal – as time expired – which they managed to space out over 10 plays to run the clock down to three seconds on the play.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
Foles finished his first playoff game completing 23 of 33 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns. Cooper was the top receiver of the game with six catches for 68 yards. Ryans had 10 tackles – eight of which were solo tackles – and an interception. Brees threw for 250 yards and a touchdown, with two interceptions. Ingram was the game's top rusher with 18 carries for 97 yards and a touchdown, while also catching three passes for 17 yards.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
This game was notable for featuring two starting quarterbacks who went to the same high school, Westlake High School in Austin, Texas; Brees graduated in 1997, while Foles graduated in 2007, ten years apart from each other.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 2014, NFC: New Orleans Saints 26, Philadelphia Eagles 24
This was the third postseason meeting between the Saints and Eagles. The teams split the two previous meetings. New Orleans won the last meeting 27–24 in the 2006 NFC Divisional playoffs.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 2014, AFC: San Diego Chargers 27, Cincinnati Bengals 10
Although the Bengals outgained San Diego in total yards, 439–319, and first downs, 27–16, the Chargers defense forced four turnovers, two failed fourth down conversion attempts, and shut out Cincinnati in the second half to give the Bengals their first home loss of the season and their sixth consecutive playoff loss since 1990.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 2014, AFC: San Diego Chargers 27, Cincinnati Bengals 10
After a pair of punts started the game, San Diego drove 86 yards in 12 plays, including a 22-yard reception by tight end Ladarius Green, and scored on Danny Woodhead's 5-yard touchdown run. Following two more punts, Cincinnati tied the score with a 60-yard scoring drive. The key player on it was rookie running back Giovani Bernard, who rushed five times for 28 yards and caught a pass for 11. Quarterback Andy Dalton finished the possession with a 4-yard scoring pass to tight end Jermaine Gresham, his first postseason touchdown pass in three playoff games.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 2014, AFC: San Diego Chargers 27, Cincinnati Bengals 10
After a San Diego three-and-out, the Bengals appeared to gain momentum with Dalton's 49-yard completion to receiver Marvin Jones. But on the next play, linebacker Donald Butler forced a fumble from Bernard that Richard Marshall recovered for the Chargers in the end zone and returned 13 yards to the 11-yard line. San Diego was forced into a three-and-out again, and Cincinnati got the ball back on their own 32-yard line with 1:14 left in the half. Dalton subsequently completed three passes for 41 yards to set up Mike Nugent's 46-yard field goal, giving the Bengals a 10–7 first half lead.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 2014, AFC: San Diego Chargers 27, Cincinnati Bengals 10
However, that was all Cincinnati accomplished as the Chargers took over in the second half. After forcing the Bengals to punt on their opening second half drive, Philip Rivers completed a 33-yard pass to Eddie Royal that set up his 4-yard touchdown toss to Green, giving the Chargers the lead at 14–10. Then Dalton lost a fumble at the end of a 12-yard run without being touched, and defensive back Jahleel Addae recovered for San Diego on the Bengals' 46-yard line. The Chargers then drove 40 yards in nine plays to go up 17–10 with Nick Novak's 25-yard field goal.

Then after two plays on the Bengals next drive, cornerback Shareece Wright intercepted a pass from Dalton and returned it 30 yards to the Cincinnati 3-yard line, setting up another Novak field goal that made the score 20–10. Dalton threw another interception on the ensuing possession, this one to linebacker Melvin Ingram. Although the Chargers would not convert this one into points, the Chargers' defense would go on to pin down the Bengals for the rest of the game. For their final three drives, they turned the ball over on downs twice in Chargers territory, while their final drive ended as time expired on the Chargers' 6-yard line. Meanwhile, a 58-yard touchdown run by San Diego running back Ronnie Brown made the final score 27–10.

2013–14 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 2014, NFC: San Francisco 49ers 23, Green Bay Packers 20
In the previous postseason, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick had shredded the Packers for 444 total yards of offense, including 181 rushing yards. This time, they managed to contain him a little better, but the final result was still the same: a Green Bay loss. Kaepernick racked up 325 offensive yards, and with five minutes left, he led the team on a 65-yard drive to set up Phil Dawson's game-winning field goal.

Due to the 2014 North American cold wave, the game was initially expected to be one of the coldest playoff games in NFL history. But with a temperature of 5 °F (−15 °C) at kickoff time, it was warmer than the record −9 °F (−23 °C) set during the 1981 AFC Championship Game.

After the Packers punted on their opening drive, San Francisco started off the scoring with a 69-yard drive, featuring a 31-yard completion from Kaepernick to Michael Crabtree, that ended with Dawson's 22-yard field goal. Green Bay was subsequently forced to punt again, and Tim Masthay's kick went just 29 yards to the Packers' 49-yard line. Frank Gore rushed four times for 21 yards for the 49ers as they drove 42 yards to go up 6–0 on Dawson's second field goal.

The Packers were forced to a three-and-out on their next drive, but this time their defense managed to step up and make a big play. Early in the second quarter, cornerback Tramon Williams intercepted the ball from Kaepernick and returned it 17 yards to the Green Bay 30-yard line. After the turnover, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed six of seven passes for 45 yards as the team went 70 yards and 14 plays on a drive in which they never gained more than nine yards on a single play.

Rodgers capped it off with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson that gave the Packers a 7–6 lead. In a notable contrast, the 49ers quickly struck back, scoring with just five plays as Kaepernick took off for a 42-yard gallop to set up Gore's touchdown on a 10-yard run. Green Bay responded with Rodgers completing a 19-yard pass to Nelson and a 13-yarder to running back James Starks on a 59-yard drive that ended with Mason Crosby's 34-yard field goal as time expired in the half, making the score 13–10 at halftime.

San Francisco drove to the Green Bay 25-yard line on the first drive of the second half, but on third down, linebacker Nick Perry sacked Kaepernick for an 8-yard loss and the 49ers decided to punt rather than attempt a long field goal. Following one more punt from each team, Rodgers led the Packers on an 80-yard drive to take a 17–13 lead on fullback John Kuhn's 1-yard touchdown run.

The highlight of the drive was a fourth down conversion in which Rodgers managed to power out of a tackle attempt and throw a pass to Randall Cobb for a 26-yard gain. However, like Green Bay's earlier touchdown, the 49ers quickly struck back, starting with LaMichael James' 37-yard kickoff return to the 37-yard line. Kaepernick then broke off a 24-yard run and soon finished the drive with a 28-yard touchdown pass to tight end Vernon Davis, retaking the lead for the 49ers at 20–17.

Crosby finished the drive with a 24-yard field goal, re-tying the game with 5:16 to go. But this was matched by the 49ers, who drove 65 yards for the game-winning score. Kaepernick completed three passes for 39 yards along the way, two for 28 to Crabtree, and also rushed for 11. Gore also played a key role, rushing five times for 15 yards, including four consecutive carries that forced Green Bay to use up all their timeouts. With three seconds left, Dawson managed to narrowly get his 33-yard field goal inside the right upright to give the 49ers a 23–20 win.

2013–14 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 11, 2014, NFC: Seattle Seahawks 23, New Orleans Saints 15
The last time these two teams met in the playoffs, Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch had rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown in a winning effort. This time, Lynch rushed for 140 yards and two scores to help the Seahawks advance to their second NFC Championship Game since 2005, despite quarterback Russell Wilson only completing nine of 18 passes for 108 yards. This was the Seahawks' fifth consecutive home playoff win, as they have not lost at home in the playoffs since being defeated by the St. Louis Rams in 2004.


2013–14 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 11, 2014, NFC: Seattle Seahawks 23, New Orleans Saints 15
The Seahawks dominated the first half, jumping to a 16–0 lead while holding Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who had passed for over 5,000 yards during the season, to just 34 yards. New Orleans was forced to punt on their opening drive, and punter Thomas Morstead bobbled the rain-soaked ball at the snap before shanking a 16-yard kick that gave Seattle a first down on the Saints' 40-yard line. The Seahawks then drove 20 yards, aided by a penalty for unnecessary roughness on safety Rafael Bush, and took a 3–0 lead on Steven Hauschka's 38-yard field goal. New Orleans responded with a drive to the Seattle 27-yard line, but Shayne Graham missed a 47-yard field goal attempt. Seattle then drove 34 yards and increased their lead to 6–0 with Hauschka's second field goal, this one from 49 yards out with 37 seconds left in the first quarter.

On the first play of the second quarter, defensive end Michael Bennett forced and recovered a fumble by New Orleans running back Mark Ingram on the Saints' 24-yard line. Following a 9-yard run by Percy Harvin, Lynch scored on a 15-yard touchdown carry to increase Seattle's lead to 13–0. Later on, the Saints got a scoring opportunity when Jon Ryan's 24-yard punt gave them a first down on the Seahawks' 48-yard line. But they could only get to the 29-yard line, and on fourth down and 4, linebacker Bobby Wagner ended the drive by breaking up Brees' pass. On the Seahawks' ensuing drive, Lynch broke off an 18-yard run, while Wilson completed a 16-yard pass to Harvin and rushed for 25 yards himself, as the team drove 68 yards to take a 16–0 first-half lead on Hauschka's third field goal.

On the Saints' first drive of the second half, they managed to reach the Seahawks 34-yard line. But once again they failed to score as Bennett and Cliff Avril sacked Brees for a 10-yard loss on third down, pushing New Orleans out of field goal range. The Saints built some momentum towards the end of the quarter, on Brees' 23-yard completion to reserve tight end Josh Hill. On the next play, Brees' 25-yard completion to Marques Colston gave the team a first down on the Seattle 14-yard line, and they eventually scored with Khiry Robinson's 1-yard touchdown run.
