Twelve teams are down to two as the @49ers and @Ravens punched their tickets to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.
For three weekends, NFC and AFC playoff teams faced off to battle for their conference championship titles, and as they did, fans flocked to Twitter to support their teams and get closer to the action.
The two hottest games for Twitter buzz during the playoffs were the @Ravens vs. @Patriots and the @49ers vs. @Falcons, raking in nearly 4 million Tweets collectively. The playoffs’ most popular players on Twitter? @RayLewis ranked first for chatter, followed by @rgiii, Tom Brady and @M_Ryan02.
Throughout the playoffs, Twitter is where fans, athletes, commentators and more went before, during and after the game for all things NFL.

The Falcons gave up five draft picks to get Julio Jones. Today that trade looks like a bargain.
